Annie is lovely. Susannah is ok but a bit long. Not keen on the others personally.

calzone · 06/01/2015 18:10

Phoebe usually ends in just an e.

Love Annie. Smile

calzone · 06/01/2015 18:11

My friends have a Niamh.....Nim for short. Cute!

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 06/01/2015 18:12

my favourite from the list is phoebe, are u changing spelling as havent seen it spelt with an 'i' before.

sammyj85 · 06/01/2015 18:15

Thanks, we're both reading your comments and my list is winning! My dh's second cousin is a Phoebie with an i but they are Australian. I think I prefer it without actually now you've mentioned it.

Love Erin, Naomi and Alyssa!

Deerhound · 07/01/2015 01:28

My favourite is Erin

The only one I dislike is Alyssa

noitsbecky · 07/01/2015 01:46

Phoebe with an ie is a misspelling, even in Australia.

Spell it Phoebe, please.

mathanxiety · 07/01/2015 06:08

How do they get Nim from Niamh?

Names I like from the list:
Annie
Niamh
Naomi

calzone · 07/01/2015 07:37

From the letters I suppose math.

Better than the other Niamh I know which is pronounced
Ny-amm.ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

Truly awful.

sleepybee · 07/01/2015 10:11

Love Niamh & Erin

UnrelatedToElephants · 07/01/2015 13:32

Susanna with nn Annie would be lovely?

Sophronia · 07/01/2015 15:23

I love Susannah and Annie. Naomi, Alyssa and Niamh are nice too.

Murphy29 · 07/01/2015 15:25

Erin or Niamh

GlitzAndGigglesx · 07/01/2015 15:29

Niamh! Hoping to use it if my baby is a girl always loved it

squoosh · 07/01/2015 16:31

Annie - reminds me of the uber annoying musical Annie. Hate her.
Phoebie - Phoebe is a nice name
Niamh - boring
Erin - brand of soup
Susannah - lovely
Naomi - like
Alyssa - not crazy about this, she'll spend a lifetime saying 'no not Melissa'.

Frikadellen · 07/01/2015 16:37

Phoebe and Niamh are my favourites I do like Susannah though.

Not keen on any of the others mostly due to poor associations

sammyj85 · 07/01/2015 18:37

Thank you for having a look! I was in love with Annie until they re released the film, it'd feel like we named her after that now. Awful timing!

I haven't heard of a Naomi for ages so I'd vote for that. Niamh and Erin are 10 a penny and a bit "common" where I live.

Annie, Phoebe and Suzanna are all nice. I prefer Alicia to Alyssa.

The most famous Phoebe I can think of is from Friends - her twin is Ursula and that is nice and unusual and seems to generally fit with the style of your other names but feel free to ignore as you didn't ask for suggestions :)

mathanxiety · 07/01/2015 20:54

Oh no Calzone Shock. I hope Niamh doesn't go the way of Caitlin/ 'Kate-lynn'.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/01/2015 21:32

Love Naomi and Susannah.

applecatchers36 · 07/01/2015 21:36

Like Phoebe and Niamh best on your list

ashesandfire · 11/01/2015 19:05

Annie- too nicknamey for me
Phoebe- irrational hatred of mine
Niamh- I like it but i think its a bit boring
Erin- really like this
Susannah- lovely and you could have nn Annie
Naomi- love this. My standout fave from your list
Alyssa- not keen. Bit American for my taste. I prefer Alicia

Nervo · 11/01/2015 19:11

I love Susannah. Always have.

The others are all nice but not as nice as Susannah.

HollyAndIvyTime · 11/01/2015 19:20

I like Pheobe (spent without the 'i') and Niamh.

Also Alyssa, but agree with others that Alicia is nicer.
