Could you rate these names for me, please?

[superdupermama]

Alexandra
Charlotte
Eliza
Elizabeth
Emma
Sophia

Where possible, could you put a comment as to why you like/dislike the name, please? Many thanks!!!

Alexandra - lovely, but don't like the almost inevitable nn 'Alex' for a girl
Charlotte - like it. Also like Lottie, but not Charlie as nn's.
Eliza - I hear 'Dolittle' but do like the name
Elizabeth - timeless, classic, elegant with lots of great nn possibilities
Emma - OK, but much prefer Emily
Sophia - v pretty, really love it.

Alexandra - Okay. I like Alex for a girl, it's a bit boring though.
Charlotte - Meh. My name. You can't walk down the street at the moment without falling over several 3 year old Charlottes. Or worse, Lotties. I'm a Charlie. I detest Lottie.
Eliza - Okay, not my taste.
Elizabeth - I prefer Elisabeth. Not keen on Ella as a nn, there seem to be so many Ellies/Ellas/Elles etc. I don't like Liz/Lizzie either. Beth, Bess, Betsy, Effie, Elsie or Elspeth are lovely though.
Emma - okay.
Sophia - Much prefer Sophie. Makes me think of the BFG.

I think my favourite would be Elizabeth/Elisabeth nn Effie.

You have both my first and middle names on your list OP!

Alexandra - like this, I especially love Alex as nn for a girl
Charlotte - lovely, classic, strong but feminine
Eliza - my favourite of your list, bit quirky sounding but still strong yet pretty
Elizabeth - least favourite from your list, bit dull
Emma - like this, yes there are a lot of 1970s vintage Emmas but it's a classic (think Jane Austen)
Sophia - pretty sounding but not as substantial as some of your other ideas

Order of preference:
Sophia
Charlotte
Alexandra
Emma
Elizabeth
Eliza/Ella

These aren't really my style (I tend to veer towards the slightly more unusual!) but I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them.

Alexandra - growing on me. Quite regal and distinguished, but can easily be shortened. Not keen on Lexi etc though.
Charlotte - dullsville. Overdone now.
Eliza - really like this - can be either elegant and poised, or quirky and tomboyish. Think it's rapidly heading up the popularity charts, though.

Elizabeth - a bit 'safe' for me, but loads of nickname options to perk it up a bit.
Emma - again, a bit 'safe' but pretty and it's not actually that popular nowadays - only know of one under 10. More common in my age group (early 30s) I think?
Sophia - lovely name, but it's been done to death now. Think it deserves a rest!

Top 3 would be Alexandra, Eliza and Emma

Eliza by far the nicest name on the list! Agree Sophia is so overdone! Every other girl here is Sophia with the other ones being Lily or Isabelle/a. Eliza is gorgeous.

Emma is the best name.

LOVE them all!

Especially Alexandra & Elizabeth, they all scream classic, timeless and elegant to me.

My least favourite is Eliza but only because I think it could date in a way the others won't, it seems to be having a bit of a boom at the moment.

Charlotte and Elizabeth are lovely. You get tons of lovely nicknames. Lottie, betsy, Eliza, bess, Betty

Charlotte and Elizabeth are lovely. You get tons of lovely nicknames. Lottie, betsy, Eliza, bess, Betty

You could have elisabeth and elspeth and have nick name Eliza

Elizabeth, then Charlotte, then Alexandra.

I like Eliza but Elizabeth lets you have that as a nn anyway!

Thank you girls! Narrowed down a little bit...

Alexandra
Charlotte
Eliza/Elizabeth
Sophia

What is your favourite? Many thanks!!!

Sophia is my favourite of your shorter list.

Sophia is my favourite from your list

Alexandra - love it. Plenty of shortenings available too.
Charlotte - bit dull and was name of school bully
Eliza - a shortening, not a name
Elizabeth - seems to be growing in popularity recently - know of several in the last year or so. But plenty of shortenings, so lots of scope for variety
Emma - meh, bit bland
Sophia - not keen on Sophia or Sophie
