Elodie

Wolfiefan · 12/09/2016 20:23

I love Elodie. Some of those on your list are very common and some are much rarer. What do you prefer?

fulltothebrimwithloveliness · 12/09/2016 20:25

Violet or Elodie from your list.

LineyReborn · 12/09/2016 20:26

Lily
Isabelle

DavidWainwrightsFeet · 12/09/2016 20:26

Elodie is lovely but there are a lot of girls nicknamed Ellie around.

DramaInPyjamas · 12/09/2016 20:26

Matilda

DramaInPyjamas · 12/09/2016 20:27

Or Violet

blueskyinmarch · 12/09/2016 20:27

I think this is the first time i have seen quite a long list of names and liked them all! I can’t choose either.

Swearwolf · 12/09/2016 20:28

Not Violet or skye, they both have quite similar sounds to scarlet (though I love Violet!).

I vote for willow or madeleine.

powershowerforanhour · 12/09/2016 20:28

Francesca. But depends what suits the baby.

Bin85 · 12/09/2016 20:28

Kate

kavvLar · 12/09/2016 20:28

Lily

NerrSnerr · 12/09/2016 20:28

I like Francesca or Gabriella

bibbitybobbityyhat · 12/09/2016 20:29

Francesca - by miles

GoldPlatedBacon · 12/09/2016 20:30

Francesca

I love Violet but it doesn't work with Scarlet plus it's two colour names

Crispbutty · 12/09/2016 20:30

Matilda

peachypips · 12/09/2016 20:30

Violet.

skyyequake · 12/09/2016 20:31

I like Ciara and Elodie the most

I agree with Swearwolf about Skye and Violet

dancingsnowfairy · 12/09/2016 20:31

A great list of lovely names, but I love Faye and Gabriella, I think if I had another girl I'd like to use one of those!

OjosCansados · 12/09/2016 20:31

Violet

CheerfulYank · 12/09/2016 20:31
  1. Willow
  2. Francesca
  3. Kate

All good though! :)

Loyly · 12/09/2016 20:31

Francesca

99percentchocolate · 12/09/2016 20:34

Elodie, Isabelle, and Ciara.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 12/09/2016 20:38

Olivia
Grace
Kate
Willow
Madeleine
Sophia

BigMamaFratelli · 12/09/2016 20:38

I like Elodie, Matilda and Willow.

Some of the names on your list are very popular - there are at least 3 Lilys,3 Graces and 2 Olivias at dd's nursery. It may not bother you but it might be something to bear in mind.
