Please vote on my top 10 girls' names!

DD2 due in a couple of weeks and we have a shortlist but nothing feels 'right' yet. Would really welcome your opinions on our list and also any suggestions for names along similar lines. DD1 is Phoebe.

Isabel (always liked but a friend has used recently).
Tabitha (love this but DH doesn't like NNs Tabs or Tabby)
Chloe (was popular a while back, dated now?)
Daphne (love this but a bit granny chic perhaps)
Sylvie (faddy?)
Alice (feels like a safe option)
Rose (ditto)

Other names I like but DH rejected are Jemima, Helena and Madeleine - keen to hear your thoughts on these too in case I can get them back on the list ;-)

Thank you for your help!!!

Chloe - common and dated
Daphne - undecided
Sylvie - slightly strange
Alice - love it very classic
Rose - lovely
Jemima - not fond

Isabel ...prefer Isabelle but great name
Tabitha ..fabulous name
Chloe ..great name, not too dated
Daphne...awful sorry
Sylvie ..awful sorry
Alice ..don't like
Rose..great name

On your list, I think Sylvie or Sylvia would work with Phoebe.

If you like Tabitha what about Tallulah? I think Phoebe and Tallulah sounds fab. I like Alice too, but it sounds a bit nondescript next to Phoebe, ditto Rose. Daphne and Phoebe doesn't work. Don't like Isabel

[Romeyroo]

Forgot Chloe on your list, don't like this

[Flingingmelon]

Love Daphne!

[CormoranStrike]

Sylvie is the nicest of those names.

I like Tabitha and Chloe from your list

[NotMrsTumble]

I know of a family with a phoebe and a tabitha. NN tabby, lovely child, but Tabby always makes me think "cat"

[chickensandbees]

I like Tabitha and Chloe but my fave is Sylvie. Lovely name.

[happybunny2014]

Isabel - Never been too keen on it sorry
Tabitha - Love it but will always make me think of my rather temperamental stripy cat unfortunately!
Chloe - Again never been keen
Daphne - Nice name
Sylvie - I really like this name, very pretty
Alice - Always felt more like a middle name rather than a first IMO, a nice name in general though.
Rose - Feel very safe and a tad bland to me
Jemima - Not at all keen sorry
Helena - I like but don't love
Madeleine - Umming and ahhing. Nice but not too struck on it.

Hope this helps but at the end of the day it's all going to come down to what you feel is right! Good luck :-)

Love Sylvie so much I want to rechristen my own. Also must put in a vote for Rose as it is dd's middle name and a lovely name at that. Sylvie Rose maybe?

[DramaAlpaca]

Isabel - love it, but it's very popular.
Tabitha - OK for a cat
Chloe - not keen, a bit dated and it's too similar to Phoebe
Daphne - this one has grown on me recently
Sylvie - very pretty
Alice - love it, my favourite of your suggestions & perfect with Phoebe
Rose - love it

Helena - very classy
Jemima - OK, but reminds me of Puddleduck
Madeleine - OK

Tabitha is ace!

[islandinthestream]

Thank you everyone for your opinions and suggestions!

Looks like Sylvie and Alice are the front runners followed by Rose and Isabel (quite surprised as thought Isabel being v popular might count it out). Tabitha clearly a bit Marmite and the different pronunciations of Helena are what put us off in the first place so that stays off the list (I say Helen-uh, he says Hel-ayna).

A couple of new ideas have been thrown in - am particularly keen to hear from any Irish MNers on these ones as DH is Irish.

Thea - how likely would this be pronounced Tia?
Stella - apparently this means chav in parts of Ireland???

Thanks!
