Like most of them, and would like Zara if it weren't also the equivalent of top shop.

baskingseals · 17/02/2013 09:16

my favourite is Saskia.

i also like Zara, Sophia, India and Xanthe.

not so keen on Thea and Isadora.

really don't like Elodie, Freya and Georgia.

Saskia on my short list. Lovely name. Definitely the best on your list.

FelicityWasCold · 17/02/2013 12:14

Saskia, India or Sophia for me. All lovely names.

DH is away for work and I wanted to talk names with him so.. I ended up here Grin

I love India, Saskia and Thea

DH wants Xanthe, Freya or Sophia

Is Sophia too popular?

Would you ever worry about a child developing a lisp and not being able to say ther own name? Does that rule out Saskia, Sophia, Thea?

India & Saskia are great names. I know cousins called these and they are great girls. Also love Thea & Zara. Hate Freya and no fussed about the others.

baskingseals · 17/02/2013 19:11

you are right.

dh is wrong.

stick to your guns Grin

DessieLou · 17/02/2013 19:23

All nice but Zara gets my vote!

Hybrid · 17/02/2013 19:29

LOVE India - beautiful name but I have to confess I'm biased.

Saskia and Xanthe are also really lovely and Elodie is very pretty.

Not fussed on the others and not at all keen on Isadora or Thea.
Good list though!

Teapig · 18/02/2013 08:28

Great list of names, think we have similar taste.

My favourites are Thea, Elodie and Isadora. Not sure how to pronounce Xanthe.

Emilythornesbff · 18/02/2013 08:45

Thea, Freya, Sophia.
Nice.

Nice list. My favourite is Thea. Also really like India and Elodie. Xanthe and Isadora are a bit poncey. The only one I really don't like is Georgia.

Which do you think goes best with DSs Arlo and Fabian?

OP posts:
YummyMummyFeelingFunny · 22/02/2013 20:49

I think Saskia or India go best.

wiltingfast · 22/02/2013 23:42

Thea is my far out favourte name on that list :)

I also like Elodie.

The others don't move me in comparison.

Zaphiro · 23/02/2013 00:25

Elodie and Xanthe are the nicest.

CruCru · 23/02/2013 17:12

Would you consider Zahrah? Then people won't think of the shop.

fortheloveofpinkflamingos · 24/02/2013 23:19

I think Zahrah would be constantly spelt wrong, although it is pretty

Greensleeves · 24/02/2013 23:26

There is a MNer who has a Saskia and a Thea! I like them both.

I also love Xanthe, Isadora, Georgia and Elodie from your list.

My current favourites (not that you asked for them but you might like one!) are Tara, Bonnie, Eileen, Maud, Iolanthe and Roisin.

CruCru · 25/02/2013 09:55

I used to know a Zahrah when I was growing up; I think it is an Arabic name.

Phosphene · 25/02/2013 10:40

I like Zara and Georgia.
