Help Me Narrow My List Down!

[hockeymumma101]

I'm looking to narrow this list down a little bit, as it's currently sitting at about 35 names. I'd love some feedback on these, with how wearable/usable they are.

Our surname is two syllables long, if that affects anything, and we'd prefer for the name to work in English and German if we can, but it's not a top priority for us (S/O may be transferred to Germany for work but it's not definite, it's more of an if right now).

Here is our list;

Daisy
Matilda
Hattie
Lillian
Elsie
Millie
Clara (we pronounce it Claire-ah)
Florence
Alice
Beatrice
Rosie
Ruby
Eleanor
Eloise
Martha
Libby
Betsy
Marnie
Molly
Alexandria
Gracie
Natalie
Lily
Sophie
Audrey
Ellie
Violet
Poppy
Evie
Scarlett
Evelyn
Lucy
Felicity
Maisie
Stella
Nora

Thank you for any feedback, it's appreciated!

I like:

Sophie
Rosie
Stella
Evie

I’ll pick my 10 favourites:

1. Matilda
2. Violet
3. Eleanor
4. Stella
5. Daisy
6. Florence
7. Eloise
8. Sophie
9. Beatrice

10. Evelyn

Alice, Eleanor or Rosie for me. Possibly Alexandria, but it depends how much you like the nn for it, I'm not overly keen on Alex for a girl.

Glad to see that you pronounce Clara as 'Clair-a' my favourite way, and how it always used to be said in the UK before the current wave of popularity (and Doctor Who!) made everyone say Klah-ra. I think Clair-a has a softer sound. But you mention a German connection? I always thought the German way to say it would be klah-ra, was I wrong about this then?

I like most of your names. Not sure if Poppy works in Europe. Hattie, Gracie and Ellie are cute but sound like they should be short for Harriet, Grace and Eleanor (or another 'El' name). And Libby for Elizabeth (or maybe Liberty?). Daisy, Alice, Sophie and Stella are gorgeous.

And Florence and Elsie are a bit too 'old lady' for me. I like Flora and Elise, or Elspeth.

Daisy - cutesy
Matilda - love
Hattie - love
Lillian - bit old lady to me
Elsie - love
Millie - prefer it with a longer 'real name' but nice
Clara (we pronounce it Claire-ah) - setting yourself up for correcting pronunciation forever
Florence - love
Alice - boring
Beatrice - okay
Rosie - cutesy
Ruby - v popular where I live
Eleanor - don't like
Eloise - never me a nice one
Martha - love
Libby - nope
Betsy - too cutesy
Marnie - love and underused in my opinion
Molly - nope
Alexandria - not keen
Gracie - too cutesy
Natalie - okay
Lily - pretty
Sophie - too girly
Audrey - old lady
Ellie - boring
Violet - love
Poppy - overdone
Evie - overdone
Scarlett - love
Evelyn - old lady
Lucy - boring
Felicity - love
Maisie - overdone
Stella - love
Nora - old lady

I like Hattie, Alice, Eleanor and Libby.

That list is too long for me sorry 😂

Good luck with that one!

I like..

Eleanor
Eloise
Martha
Evelyn
Lucy

My favourites are Violet, Ruby, Eloise, Alexandria and Scarlett x

Alice and Scarlett are nice

I would start by taking out the more common names..common as in often used. So Millie ...there were 4 in my dds year for example..that should narrow it for you

Your list could be mine! We have quite a lot of these on ours!

Daisy - nice but common
Matilda - love!
Hattie - love!
Lillian - old lady
Elsie - love!
Millie - common
Clara (we pronounce it Claire-ah) - I prefer Clar-a and it will be mispronounced.
Florence - not keen
Alice - nice but common
Beatrice - love Bebe when little not so much Beatrice
Rosie - cute but common
Ruby - common
Eleanor - not keen
Eloise - not keen
Martha - cute but harsh
Libby - common
Betsy - love!
Marnie - love!
Molly - common
Alexandria - not keen
Gracie - love! But common
Natalie - not keen
Lily - common
Sophie - common
Audrey - love!
Ellie - common
Violet - pretty
Poppy - cute
Evie - common
Scarlett - common
Evelyn - love
Lucy - Pretty
Felicity - nice and unusual
Maisie - common
Stella - nice!
Nora - nice!

When I’ve said common I mean I’ve come across loads.

Violet is my favourite girls name ever!

Beatrice, Audrey and Daisy are my faves. Great list!

Go for Nora. I wish I'd used it for one of my 3dds as it's beautiful and I had a wonderful great aunt with that name. Really kicking myself for not using it, was actually thinking of going back to registry to shoehorn it in as an extra middle name for one of my 19mo twins just yesterday! Still considering it.

My favourite 10 !
Daisy
Hattie
Rosie
Maisie
Eleanor
Clara (Clair-ah)
Stella
Scarlett

Audrey

Eloise

Felicity nn Fliss is nice. I also like Felice or Felicia.
Elizabeth would give lots of choice for nicknames, and you could wait and see what works for your daughter - could be Libby or Betsy, or something else( Beth, Eliza, Mozzie, Lisa, Ellie.)

Mozzie?? How did that get there? I meant Lizzie!

I like a lot of these! My top 5 would be Matilda, Ruby, Eleanor, Sophie and Eloise

Stella
Matilda
Ruby
