I only like Juliet!

I really like Meredith and Juilet. Erica is quite nice too.

I particularly dislike Mara, Daphne, Judith & Lorelai.

Interesting list OP - my picks would be Daphne (would use this in a heartbeat!), Meredith or Juliet - all gorgeous names.

Mara - OK; could grow on me
India - agree with golden - it's a bit 'try-hard exotic'!
Meredith - lovely, a grown-up, serious name, and Merry makes a lovely nickname
Daphne - my favourite, love the nature/mythology connections (even though it's a sad story!). Has a fresh, jaunty, vintage feel.
Juliet - very elegant, and I much prefer this spelling to the frillier Juliette
Judith (Jude) - strong name, but a bit plain and clunky for me (and I like non-girly/frilly names!)
Sadie - a bit lightweight and insubstantial
Erica - not a fan - always thought this sounded like the parents really wanted an Eric! Sounds a bit harsh to my ears.
Monica - not keen, feel quite dated
Lorelai - don't like the sound of this - too singsongy/tongue twistery!

Mara - lIke it. I like Lara too, but Mara is more unusual
India - no
Meredith - really like it
Daphne - no
Juliet - lovely, but Julia is better
Judith (Jude) - quite nice
Sadie - no
Erica - nice
Monica - OK
Lorelai - no

Rather than Erica, what about Erin?

Imaginingdragonsagain · 23/02/2017 21:09

I like Lara and Erin

Mara - Love this. Sounds like a smart cookie but warm too
India - not so keen... too faux boho
Meredith - pretty, and nice to have the Meri/Merry style nicknames
Daphne - sounds a bit wet and daffy
Juliet - Nice but that's all
Judith (Jude) - sounds like a 60 year old woman. Not sure I can imagine it on a young child

Sadie - likewise
Erica - Love this. It's on my list too
Monica - I just think of Friends...
Lorelai - I just think of Gilmore Girls!

My favourite from your list is Mara. Also like Sadie, India and Lorelai.
