Girls list - opinions please

[ErrantBakedBean]

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on these names. It's been a while in the making but we're down to these -

Iselda
Eloisa
Tova
Enora
Romilly
Orelda
Albany
Delphia

Romilly is beautiful, don't mind Tova but the others just look a bit made up and quite a mouthful.....

I like romilly but none of the others

Actually Eloisa is lovely too but I prefer Eloise

Tova stands out to me, then Enora...

Eloisa is great but I must admit I prefer Eloise too.

Romilly

Romilly is the best of the bunch, but not a name I'd use myself.

I don't think we share the same taste in names so I'm not going to be of much help.

Love Romilly

Iselda: Either Imelda or Isolda. Pick one.
Eloisa: It's okay. I know one and people often assume it's Eloise, though.
Tova: I don't like this at all.
Enora: Ditto. Though I don't mind Norah.
Romilly: This is cute.
Orelda: No
Albany: As in, Albany NY? No.
Delphia: As in, Philadelphia? No.

I like Romilly, and prefer Eloise to Eloisa.

I like Isolde. Not thrilled Iselda, as pp says it like a cross between Isolde and Emelda.
Both Eloisa and Delphine make me think of cheese.
Don't like Orelda. It's far too try hard and very harsh.
Tova and Enora see Orelda.
To end on a positive i love Romilly and Albany.

I like Romilly and Eloisa (but she’s likely to get Eloise or Louisa). The others really aren’t my taste.

Sorry, don't like any of them and a few sound made up.

Same as some others, I do love Elouise.

Ooh, I love Iselda. I think it's the first time I've seen it mentioned on here. It is a legitimate name, for those questioning. I believe it's an old Spanish and Occitan version of Isolde.

My second favourite is Tova. I prefer Eloise to Eloisa, and not quite so fond of the rest of the list.

Thank you - they're not made up but I am interested to hear if they sound that way as I'm sure others would assume the same. And I completely hadn't made the Philadelphia connection! Delphia is actually a Latin name that means dolphin. Might take it off the list.

Eloisa x

From your list, I like Romilly, Eloisa, Enora and Tova. They all sound pretty to me

I think Delphine is more common than Delphia, if that's a possibility for you?

We know an Albany so I think that's my favourite from your list!

I like Eloise, Delphie and Romilly.

I only like Tova.

Romilly is fine, as is Eloisa. I'm just not a fan of either of them. I prefer Ramona and Eloise.

The others are not great. Delphi or Delphine is much nicer than Delphia. Honora better than Enora.

Romilly

Iselda - no but I like Zelda
Eloisa - no but Eloise is nice
Tova - no but Tove is nice if you have Scandi connections
Enora - no. Nora is slightly less bad but still not good/
Romilly - it's ok but a bit like a surname
Orelda- Oral what?
Albany - no
Delphia - no. Delphine is ok.

I thought about Delphine but think it has a very different feel - more like a Marlene sort of name.

Names are such personal things, and these are my thoughts on these names only. What I'd say though is to go with what you 'feel' is right. Don't overthink it or take in peoples opinions too much. There's not a name out there that someone won't dislike!

Iselda - Horrible. Sorry
Eloisa - Cute name, and has 'Elle/Ellie nickname potential, which is pretty popular.
Tova - Quite a cool name. I like that is is obvious how to pronounce and spell it, it's not too popular. It's a little too 'out-there' for me.
Enora - Looks like you've taken Norah, and messed around with it.
Romilly - Yeah, this is an awesome name.
Orelda - No
Albany - Sounds like a production company or something.
Delphia - Prefer Daphne or Delphine.
