Love Anya and Annabel, in that order. Can't bring myself to like Astrid though lots of people do. Ambivalent about Abigail and I think Aurora is pretty in theory but a little hard to say! Prefer Aurelia.

Astrid - though all are lovely. Abigail is fairly common where I am.

HaveYouHeardOfGoogle · 19/02/2015 11:23

Annabel is lovely

RabidFairy · 19/02/2015 11:25

Astrid, hands down.

00100001 · 19/02/2015 11:26

Annabel and Abigail

Sophronia · 19/02/2015 11:27

Astrid or Anya.

Myfourblondies · 19/02/2015 11:28

Annabel and then Abigail. Don't like Astrid at all, sorry.

dalmatianmad · 19/02/2015 11:29

Astrid is truly awful.

rosepetalsoup · 19/02/2015 11:29

Wow- Astrid is turning out to be quite marmite!

Astrid & Anya.

rosepetalsoup · 19/02/2015 11:34

Also nobody likes Aurora - interesting. Maybe I should strike that off.

AmysTiara · 19/02/2015 11:40

I like them all except Astrid, it sounds too harsh sorry.

Marcipex · 19/02/2015 11:41

I like Aurora but it's a little hard to say, especially if people can't say their rs.

Annabelle is nice.
I'd beware of Astrid only because it begins with Ass......and I know what playgrounds are like.

calzone · 19/02/2015 11:41

Ds would have been Annabel. ??

Astrid is too hard sounding.
Not keen on Anya.

Marcipex · 19/02/2015 11:41

Athena is lovely

Notso · 19/02/2015 11:44

If I had to pick one it would be Anya. I don't really like any though sorry.

Boobz · 19/02/2015 11:45

Anya I like the best from your list, but not really blown away by any of them.

How about:

Alexandra/Alex

Alyssa
Ariel

?

Boobz · 19/02/2015 11:45

That should have been Alexandra\Alexa\Alexis

BeaLola · 19/02/2015 11:53

I don't love any of them , I think Aurora just makes me think Sleeping Beauty and for some is quite hard to say , also depends on your surname . Would probably get misspelt lots too.

I really like Alexandra for A names as like both long and shortened versions.

PerryNotCider · 19/02/2015 12:03

Why an A name OP? You know often at school you read your homework in alphabetical order and then the kids further down the alphabet often got away with not doing it.

I'm totally over it over 20 years on clearly Grin

From your list Annabell

FunMitFlags · 19/02/2015 12:48

Astrid

Not keen on the others
