girl names, your opinion please?

[fairybubbles]

DP and I have agreed on a boys name. Girls names we can't agree on. Please tell me what you think of my list:

Jessica
Juliet
Imogen
Audrey
Adriana
Amelie (DP's fav girls name)
Esme
Emelie/Emelie
Iris
Skye
Darcie
Rosie
Lucie
Elise
Alice

Our DS is called Alfie. Not short for anything. At the moment I'm swaying towards Lucie, Iris (DP doesnt like) and Alice which I love but again DP not so keen.

i dont like alice, i was a school with an alice and all she got was
Alice alice, who the F* is alice!

out of that list i like, Esme and adriana

Jessica - no
Juliet - OK
Imogen - lovely
Audrey - no (Coronation Street)
Adriana - OK
Amelie - OK-ish
Esme OK
Emelie/Emelie - no - Emilia is nice though
Iris - OK
Skye - no
Darcie - OK
Rosie - lovely as a nn
Lucie - lovely
Elise - OK
Alice - OK

I love Iris. Beautiful. Rosie's really cute, goes well with Alfie, although, it's great for a LO but a bit too cute for a grown up IMO. How about Rose, then you can always call her Rosie??

Lucie, very classic. Emelie - shew'll just be explaining spelling forever!

I used to love Skye (my grandfather was from the Isle of Skye) but then I got Skye Plus. Put me off a bit!

i like Lucie the best, and also like Rosa nn Rosie

Jessica - ok
Juliet - love
Imogen - ok
Audrey - love, makes me think of Coronation St too but that's not a bad thing also think Hepburn and Tautou.
Adriana - ok
Amelie (DP's fav girls name) - ok.
Esme - not keen
Emelie/Emelie - prefer Amelie.
Iris - makes me think of eyes.
Skye - don't like.
Darcie - not keen.
Rosie - ok as a nn but prefer Rose
Lucie - ok but prefer Lucy
Elise - not keen
Alice - love, simple and classic.

Although Alice doesn't really go with Alfie and if your DP isn't keen on Alice or Iris you probably won't be having those names anyway.

With Alfie, I think Iris or Alice go best.

Think another ie ending sounds a little bit twee.

And some of the more serious names don't sound quite right with Alfie (Imogen/Juliet?Audrey).

FWIW much prefer Lucy/Darcy/Rosy spellings.

Have to disagree with you on that one Same, I don't think "Alfie and Alice" go well at all. They sort of run into one another.

I like Audrey the best

Agree much prefer Lucy, Darcy, Rosy spellings...they look so much nicer (I am a Lucy btw).

Love Esme, Rosy, Imogen and Alice..

Alfie and Esme would got lovely together. I want Esme for my DC3, but DH wont have it . I think we've agreed on Ivy though! I do like Alice, but don't think it goes well with Alfie either.

Jessica-ok
Juliet- like
Imogen- no dislike
Audrey- lovely
Adriana-bit much
Amelie-ok
Esme-dont like
Iris- dont like
Skye-dont like
Darcie-dont like
Rosie-ok but love Rose
Lucie-nice
Elise-ok
Alice-lovely

i'm an alice and after 30 odd tears it's growing on me - i think it sounds nice with alfie

Aubree/Aubrey i think sounds nice with Alfie

years not tears sorry

I love Juliet, Audrey, Lucie, Alice and Elise from your list.

I dislike Imogen, Skye, Jessica and Darcie.

Adriana, Amelie, Esme, Emelie/Emelie, Iris and Rosie are all a bit ho-hum and predictable with Alfie as the older brother. Except Adriana, which doesn't go with Alfie at all.

I think Esme or Lucie go best with Alfie.

Thanks all so much for all the feedback, every time I look at my list I have a different favourite. It is just as well I have a few more weeks to decide!

Today I really like Rosie, Audrey and Esme but isnt there a whole big thing about the spelling/pronounciation of Emse? I think I saw a thread about that.

In reality DP prob won't ever agree to Alice or Iris but i will keep them on my list for now. His favourite remains Amelie but although I like it and it's a nice name I'm not sure if I like it when it's said out loud.

Jessica - not keen at all
Juliet - love
Imogen - not a big fan
Audrey - don't like
Adriana - prefer Adrienne
Amelie (DP's fav girls name) - not bad
Esme - hate
Emelie/Emelie - prefer Emmeline
Iris - hate
Skye - quite nice,
Darcie - quite nice
Rosie - like, kind of timeless, might be tempted for Rosamund on the b/c
Lucie - not keen on the name or spelling
Elise - not keen
Alice - very nice

however, go for the one you guys like most of all would be my advice, regardless of our opinions!

I only know one Esme but I've seen others post that they think it is very popular. Still like it though.

Amelie - I love this
Esme - Really lovely as long as you aren't pronouncing it Esmay
Skye - sweet
Darcie - on our list
Elise - also on our list

Jessica - no, too 'ordinary'
Juliet - no
Imogen - beautiful, love it
Audrey - old lady Coronation Street
Adriana - no, horrible
Amelie (DP's fav girls name) - quite pretty
Esme - no
Emelie/Emelie pretty
Iris -too old lady
Skye - too hippy dippy lol
Darcie - ok
Rosie ok
Lucie no
Elise no
Alice lovely

Imogen and Alice both lovely names in my opinion, those are the ones to go with :-)

I think all of your names are really lovely apart from Imogen, i really like Lucie, Amelie and Emelie and have an Esme myself
Good luck
