GIRLS names I'm considering

[DaaMamma]

What do you think about these names?
Be as stark/direct as you like: I'll know it's the one if the harsher comments don't bother me.

Alternatives welcome.
Prefer names that don't end in -a

The shortlist as it stands:

Kate
Natalia
Juliet
Genevieve
Miriam

Thanks

I love Juliet. I prefer Mirren or Meredith to Miriam though Miriam is OK too.

I'm not keen on any of your other choices.

I really like your list, though I'm not overly keen on Natalia. In order I would say:

1. Miriam - lovely and everyone I've met with this name has been awesome.
2. Kate - love this too. It's a strong name, which I like.
3. Genevieve - very nice, but maybe a little fussy compared to the others. I do really like it though, and like Ginny as a nn. Is Ginny Weasley from HP's full name Genevieve?
4. Juliet - I'm not all that keen on this. I don't like the reference to Romeo and Juliet really and I just don't like the sound. It's too much like Julia which I also dislike.
5. Natalia - not keen on this either, though, it has been tainted for me by knowing a really horrible one. I know a fantastic Natalie, so prefer that! Still not my favourite though.

Thanks everyone. You've been very helpful. I think Miriam ticks every box. But I do see what some posters mean about it sounding fusty. I only know 1 Miriam and she is a bit sanctimonious so I don't know if that has influenced me. I need to sleep on it.
I've gone off Kate a bit and of course every time I google it it's all Kate Middleton....
Gone off Natalia....well I still think it's nice but it's not right for my daughter.
Juliet......I love the strong t sound at the end, the fact everyone knows it but there aren't tonnes of them. I just wish the Romeo & Juliet connection wasn't quite so all-encompassing.
Genevieve has got a lot of positive comments and yet.....I don't know. It reminds me of Veronica or Rita or something else.......holy.
I'm getting there. Thanks again

Juliet is my favourite, with Genevieve a very close second.

I'm not keen on Miriam, a bit too Biblical for my taste.

All nice. I consider Kate to be a nn. I love Juliet and Miriam.

I like Miriam best. It's pretty and underused. I also like Juliet and Natalia.

Lucy
Harriet
Merryn
Coralie
Clementine
Frances
Sophie
Talia
Meredith
Emily
Phoebe
Xanthe
Seren
Alice
Grace
Rachel
Louise

Thanks also to the name suggesters. I like lots of them....especially XANTHE. More food for thought.

Miriam is my favourite. I like Natalia too but you said you'd rather not have an -a name. Genevieve's too long to go with a Rosa, and I'm not keen anyway.

How about
Frances
Lucy
Beatrice
Cleo
Maren (longish 'a')
Claire (very underused these days, due a revival IMHO)
Emily

Kate - nice but harsh for a baby - maybe kaitlyn shortened to Katie then Kate?
Natalie - I'd shorten it to tallie ut I do like it
Julie - lifetime of romeo comments?
Genevieve - love love love a D K ow a lovely adult one
Mariam -. Would assume named after a parent but not in a cool old lady way like Elsie or Edith

My top list:
Miriam
Natalia
Juliet
Kate (Katie)
Genevieve

I would pick Juliet from these but all are good

Juliet is my favourite of these - by quite a lot. It's classic and it doesn't end in E or A like so many girls' names, so it sounds a "strong" name. I know a mega-successful Juliet, so perhaps I'm biased.
Kate is too nondescript.
Genevieve is just weird - I can only think of the car in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Natalia sounds very Russian - but nice. Natalie? Natasha?
Miriam is old-fashioned. I'm not sure it's time has come again yet. Mariam? Marian?
