Love your list. Especially love Florence, Freya, Mabel and Iris.

Love lris and Mabel. Florence is ok too.

Freya is my favourite girls name right now.

I also like Ottilie and Ivy.

Nancy - I just find it a bit meh
Molly - pretty. I like it
Ottilie - lovely name but some find it a bit try-hard. I prefer Ottoline
Florence - love it but too popular for me to use I think
Freya - lovely but so popular here
Ivy - nice
Mabel - love it so much
Emilia - boring
Iris - gorgeous. I've only met an Iris once and that was 8 years ago (she was 6 months at the time) and I thought how lovely it was
Betsy - lovely but needs to be a nn
Nora - love but prefer Norah
Aurelia - theres a little girl at my dd's swimming classes called this and it just doesn't sound right. It doesn't fit the little girl at all and just seems a bit over the top

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 16/03/2018 12:11

Nancy - lovely!
Molly - bit boring and little girlish to me
Ottilie - ok
Florence - ok but vvvvv popular where I live
Freya - nice
Ivy - not keen
Mabel - lovely
Emilia - bit blah
Iris - ok
Betsy - nice
Nora - hmmm not sure - I like it as a nn but not sure as a full name
Aurelia - I don’t like this name. It’s a bit too frilly sounding to me

I like Iris, Freya, Molly, Ivy and Florence. Betsy is far too cutesy for my liking. Nora, Mabel and Nancy sound very old fashioned to me, but I know are becoming popular again.

Mamabear4180 · 16/03/2018 19:32

I like Emilia and Aurelia

Nancy - fine. Wouldn't be for me though.
Molly - pretty but a bit insipid
Ottilie - bit fussy and can't separate it from otters/utterly butterly myself.
Florence - fine
Freya - nice
Ivy - lovely
Mabel - no
Emilia - fits right into Amelia/Amalia/Emily etc, so if you're thinking it'll be unique from those trendy names it won't. Aside from that I do like it.
Iris - no
Betsy - this is horrible. Name for a barnyard animal.
Nora - no
Aurelia - pretty but I think it's prettier when written down, not as pretty when spoken

PeterRabbitEatingHisCarrot · 16/03/2018 22:38

I love Mabel and Florence

Aquamarine1029 · 17/03/2018 15:23

How about Flora? It's a combo of Florence and Nora. My great Aunt's name was Flora and she was an amazing woman.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/03/2018 15:25

Love Nancy.

Molly and Freya next.

How about

Dora
Iona
