What do these girls names say to you?

[Eglu]

So, DH and I just found out that we are having a girl after two boys. I'm in total shock as I though this was another boy. At least it means I can cross out half the huge name list. :)

So I'm wondering what these names say to you.

Elliot
Darcy
Scarlett
Madison
Phoebe
Aurora
Matilda
Elise
Xanthe
Trinity

Some are Dh's choice, some are mine. I would also like to know of anything that is massively popular. We live quite rurally so don't know loads of children.

Elliot - I always think of this as a boy's name TBH
Darcy - hmm, quite nice
Scarlett - quite like it, wouldn't be brave enough to use it myself
Madison - don't like
Phoebe - pretty, very popular round here
Aurora - not sure, too Sleeping beauty for me
Matilda - love it
Elise - quite pretty
Xanthe - not keen
Trinity - don't like

I like Aurora and Elise. Not fond of the others.

Thank you. Interesting that you said Aurora was sleeping beauty. Not having girls I don't know the disney princess names

I did think Phoebe might be popular, it isn't where we live, but that may not be where my child ends up living as an adult.

Elliot says boy.

Scarlett, Aurora, and Matilda are lovely
Darcy, Phoebe, Elise and Xanthe are OK
I don't like Madison
I do like Trinity, but you need to be careful that it combines well with your surname (Trinity Street for example would say place, not person)

Yes, I also think of Elliot as being a boy's name.

Don't like Trinity or Madison, bit too surnamey, which I don't like personally.

My favourites are Darcey (I know one, I think it's a great name) and Scarlett.

Phoebe or Matilda for a more classic name.

I like Darcy (most people on here don't). Matilda is nice and Elise is lovely. Really dislike Madison, Elliot and Trinity, sorry.

Aurora means Dawn and is nothing to do with Disney really - I do quite like Dawn.

Elliot - beautiful, strong
Darcy - lovely
Scarlett - lovely
Madison - Square Garden
Phoebe - I have known many lovely Phoebes
Aurora - Sleeping Beauty
Matilda - So many Tillys...
Elise - Really like it
Xanthe - Beautiful
Trinity - I'm part of the Matrix generation; I just see Carrie-Ann Moss in skin-tight leather.

ETA: Sleeping Beauty is not a bad thing! It's just the first thing I thought of. I think Aurora is a beautiful name.

Elliot - I think boy's name
Darcy - I think Mr Darcy
Scarlett - I think it's extremely popular
Madison - I think it's very dated
Phoebe - I like
Aurora - Eurgh (sorry)
Matilda - I like
Elise - I don't like
Xanthe - I VERY don't like
Trinity - I think The Matrix

Elliot - boy's name
Darcy - Mr Darcy
Scarlett - OK
Madison - place name
Phoebe - like, very nice
Aurora - beautiful
Matilda - not keen, faddy
Elise - OK, prefer Louisa or Eloise
Xanthe - like
Trinity - nice

Congrats...a girl..

Since your having a girl I really think she needs a girl name. Therefore Elliot IMO is out.

Darcy - Love
Scarlett - Not my cup of tea, but ok
Madison - Eurgh yuk sorry
Phoebe - Love
Aurora - As with Madison
Matilda - Love
Elise - Prefer Lousie
Xanthe - Love
Trinity - As with Aurora and Madison!

What are you DH's called?

Elliot - boy's name
Darcy - quite nice
Scarlett - love it, but getting quite popular
Madison - feels a bit American to me
Phoebe - lovely
Aurora - Disney princess
Matilda - not my favourite
Elise - lovely
Xanthe - like it a lot, quite adventurous
Trinity - odd

Thanks everyone. My DSes are Samuel and Cooper.

Elliot - boy's name (particularly from ET).
Darcy - Mmmmmm Colin Firth - or Prima Ballerina!
Scarlett - lovely, but Scarlett Johansson has made it v popular
Madison - Daryl Hannah in Splash
Phoebe - Still has a slight 'Friends' aura, but lovely
Aurora - Disney Princess, but a great one (I still think she looked better in blue)
Matilda - Roald Dahl, highly underrated IMO
Elise - Very pretty
Xanthe - Even prettier

I was worried Scarlett may be popular. I seem to hear it quite a bit.

Just realised I haven't put Tabitha on the list.
