I love Clara

Mumofgirls2017 · Yesterday 21:59

Amelie- it’s nice, but may get confused with Emily/ Amelia etc
Autumn- Love
Annabelle- Love
Arabella- ok
Clara- love, classic, pretty
Connie/ Constance- Connie reminds me of casualty character and find Constance frumpy
Emilia- blah, too mixed in with Amelia, Emily etc
Heidi- like
Juniper- Love
Phoebe- I should like it, but I just don’t like the feel of it
Pollyanna- love it but would never call a child it
Primrose/ Posie- love it
Rosanna- 90s
Sophia- bland, met so many, pretty as it is
Zara- cool, though don’t love it

overall a brilliant list, despite my personal views you can’t really go wrong!

most of these names are very trendy which means lots of people like them but also mean these will become the Sarah’s, Jane’s and Emma’s in the future. Nothing wrong with that though!

Sundayagain01 · Yesterday 22:28

I like Annabelle and Heidi best. Not keen on Primrose and definitely not Pollyanna.

JuliettaCaeser · Yesterday 22:39

Amelie Sophia and Emilia are overused so dull not special enough.

Primrose is terrible Harold shipman’s wife.

Like the others especially Clara. So elegant and would work for any age.

StripeyPJs · Yesterday 23:00

Love Rosanna, Zara and Connie.

Juniper, Primrose and Pollyanna are hideous. Pet bunny rabbit names.

Why the BIG SHOUTY CAPITALS and odd comments?
How can Phoebe be out of date when it's popular? What makes you say Pollyanna is classic when it's used as a description?

LVPLVT · Today 09:35

All are lovely except Pollyanna!

badbunnysadbunny · Today 09:38

My favourites are autumn (only works in my mind if born in autumn) and juniper . Dislike arabella. Whilst Pollyanna is cute for a young child , I don’t like it for a teen or adult .

Iocanepowder · Today 09:44

Arabella is everywhere atm.

I am also incredibly glad not to he called Pollyanna or Posie or Juniper.

I know 2 Annabelles and they are both called Annie.

Other than that, all fine I think.

GregKay · Today 10:39

1 Heidi - Absolutely love
1 Phoebe - Absolutely love
1 Primrose/ Posie - Adore Primrose but not a fan of Posie
1 Clara - Absolutely love, it seemed very popular on here recently though, not sure if that translates in to the real world
These were the in my top 10 of names but I had boys! I think we would have gone with Phoebe as the husband wasn't so keen on the others. His favourite was Martha.

2 Amelie - Really lovely but a bit overdone a few years back I think?
3 Annabelle - very pretty, people get there knickers in a twist about spellings though.
4 Sophia - A really lovely name but incredibly popular
5 Emilia - Very pretty but rather popular
6 Juniper - Lovely sound
7 Zara - Nice but maybe a bit old fashioned?

8 Autumn - Nice enough
9 Pollyanna - much prefer just Polly
10 Rosanna - Ok, also a bit old fashioned

I really dislike these names, sorry! They sound like unpleasant women in there 50's/60's who were probably bullies at school, own a couple of ponies too. Or really stern Australian women. I'm so sorry! It's probably just me.
