opinions and what other names might i like

[notallytuts]

current options (none ruled out but want others to consider!) are:

rosita
eleri (not sure about this as we have no welsh connections!)
rosanne/rosanna/roseanna
callie - love this but it sounds too nickname-y to me so would want a longer version. maybe calandra/calanthe. not too keen on callista, caliopa, calpurnia or caroline.
cora
cara
carrie

also other names i like but have discounted for various reasons are:
jasmine
lauren
nichola

Rosina

Cassia

I really like Carrie. Cassandra/Cassie is nice too.

Susannah/Susie
Sarah/Sally
Clara or Claire
Clover

I only like Cora and Cara from the list.

What about Eloise?

forgot to say i also like merryn!

lydia

carys
natasha----tasha
jodie
jenna
seren
amber
georgina
madelaine
alice
kelly
felicity
vivienne
victoria
elizabeth-----beth or libby
isabelle
jessica
lucy

nicole

I love Merryn

I like merryn too. Would be merry for short though, sweet, but not so good if she wasn't merry, iyswim.

Merryn is gorgeous as is Calanthe

Alys as a possiblity?

Rosanna is beautiful and very under used.

Eloisa or Elodie as suggestions?

Merryn is lovely

I also like CAllie and CAssie

Suggestion:

Marianne

Rosalie? I know a little girl called this, it is such a sweet name.

Or if you like Merryn, how about Meredith?

Ooh I had forgotten about Seren, love that name too but not sure about the Welshness of it again.

Not too keen on Alys but I do like Alyssa. And maybe Alexia

What do people think to Eleri? I really like the welsh pronounciation (El-air-i) but on a previous thread a lot of english posts said they thought it would rhyme with celery and I quite like that pronounciation too - not sure how commonly its used though as I wouldnt want people to think we just didnt know how to pronounce it!
