Girls list - opinions?

[kittenxo]

Not telling friends/family until the name has been decided on.. The list is a bit long so needs shortening

Eva

Rose

Grace

Clara

Sophia

Alyssa

Rosalie

Amara

Iris

Lily

Sienna

Thea

Ivy

Gabrielle/a

Beautiful list, only ones I don't like as much are Amara, Sienna and Gabrielle/a

Lots of inspiration for me too. I think you could have a beautiful first and middle name from those.

The only thing I can think of to narrow it down is that Eva, Grace and Lily are very popular, so if you don't want her being called Eva A, Eva B etc when she's at school, then go for the more unusual ones.
Ivy could be good, I normally associate it with an old lady but as a little girl's name it is quite pretty.

I'd choose Thea or Grace

An easy way to shorten your lovely list would be to remove the very popular ones like Rose, Grace, Sophia and lily as they are so overused they've lost their shine. Gabriella is very nice

Sophia Grace
All lovely names though, aside from
Thea and Iris.
Would Clara be Cl-ah-ra or Clair-a

Thank you

So none stick out as being particularly awful?

Good idea about taking out really popular ones - and Clara would be Cl-ah-ra

Magnumaddict- hadn't considered middle names yet, good point!

My faves are:

Eva
Grace
Clara
Thea.

Eva is not massively popular in my area (compared to Ava and Evie).

Eva Grace jumps out at me as a fab name,

I like Iris, Ivy, Gabriella and Thea in that order the most.

Don't like Alylissa or Amara.

Lily and Eva are incredibly dull and overused imo as is Sophia.

Thea or iris x

Lovely list! My faves are Clara, Rosalie, Thea and Gabrielle.

My favourites are:
Rosalie
Iris
Ivy

Gabriella and Clara are awesome!

I'm not a fan of Sienna. And Amara... is Amara a story book witch or maybe an evil character in a TV show or something?

Clara, Thea or Iris

I like Rosalie and Thea. In fact, Rosalie Thea is a lovely name.

Rose

Rosalie and Alyssa.

Thank you for the feedback

Chippiebean - I saw 'Amara' on a baby girl name list online somewhere! Never heard of it before then.. I was just trying to add a bit of variation and some names that weren't super popular

Is Gabrielle/a popular? I love it - not keen on 'Gabby' as a nickname though..

Sorry. The name is actually lovely. But I genuinely think there's a TV baddie or something called Amara... Sorry, I should have made that clearer.

You could call her Ella? Bree? GG? I think there are several nicknames for Gabriella.

It hasn't been in the top 100 for the last few years. I don't think that's very popular... (?)

Love the name Clara, one of those rare names that works from tiny baby to old lady!

Kitten, you could have Bella, for a nick name

I love them all except Thea, because I am from Essex and would pronounce it "fe-ar" which isn't pretty. Despite the hype about Sophia being common I don't know any.

I think Sophia Grace, Clara Grace or Gabrielle Rose

^
Agree regarding Thea - not many children will pronounce it correctly.

All the rest are lovely.

I like:

• Rose (prefer Rosie, but I think I'm in the minority on that!)
• Grace
• Clara
• Sophia
• Lily
• Sienna
• Ivy

Dislike:

• Eva
• Alyssa
• Rosalie
• Amara
• Iris
• Thea

Neutral about:

• Gabrielle / Gabriella (prefer Gabrielle)

Chippiebean - ah I see! And good points

Hadnt thought about Thea being pronounced Fe-ar - think that's off the shortlist for that reason (possibly a middle name depending on final name decision! )

Really lovely names. Not over keen on Amara or Sienna. I know an Elissa and prefer that spelling.
