I'd like a strong name with nice nn options, and it needs to work ok-ish in Polish. Not too much to ask?!

Evelyn / Evelina / Evie - our favourite
Jasmine / Jazz?
Margot - I love but dh says makes him think of a maggot which might have ruined it for me
Natalie/Natalia - not sure about which spelling is better and how to shorten it
Theodora / Thea - a bit tricky to pronounce in Polish I think

I really like Evelyn and also Evelina is a nice (and less common) option. Very pretty. I also like either shortened to Evie.

Jasmine - Lovely name. I know one shortened to Jazzy which is cute.

Margot - Different but nice. Could be shortened to Margie or Maggie.

Natalie - Nice and not heard so much now.
I think Natalia is really pretty and unusual. I also love Talia.

Theodora - Love this. The one I know is shortened to Teddy, but I like Thea too.

Evelina is lovely. Also Natalia, which could be Tali or Talia for short.

sophiec123 · 01/10/2018 13:20

Thea was on my list too, I love it! However my partner kept saying FEAR and ruined it for me

Polkasq · 01/10/2018 15:07

I like Jasmine and Natalia best. Natalia Jasmine - sorted Grin

skeete · 01/10/2018 16:00

Evelyn is my favourite. It's lovely.
Jasmine is nice.
Really don't like the name Margot, sorry! I just don't think it's a nice sounding name.
Not keen on Natalie/Natalia and think the only abbreviation would be Nat.
Theodora is nice but I like nn Teddy.

Evelyn / Evelina / Evie - I think anything Eva esque is overdone, tbqh. Evelyn or Evelina would seem strong to me, but Evie definitely doesn't.

Jasmine / Jazz - love Jasmine.

Margot - I like it. It's not amazing though.

Natalie/Natalia - both lovely imo. Could be Nat, Lia/Lee?

Theodora / Thea - would probably avoid these if they're difficult to pronounce in Polish.

RavenWings · 01/10/2018 16:25

Oh I forgot - would choose Jasmine or Natalie, myself. Possibly Natalia which is also really nice.

PassportBridgetPants · 01/10/2018 17:16

Natalia nn Tally/Tali. Lovely. There are a lot of Evies about if that bothers you.

mintich · 01/10/2018 17:21

Love Natalia

MamasGarden · 01/10/2018 17:37

I also used to associate Margot with maggot but now it's become one of my favourite names. There's also Margo and that sounds nothing like maggot.

Adore Theodora but like the sound of Thea more.

Not too keen on Jasmine or Natalia/e unfortunately. Evelyn is nice, quite popular though.

A little Polish girl named Victoria used to live near me. Gorgeous name.

Shadow1234 · 01/10/2018 20:56

Evelina hands down! Lovely name and sounds so pretty.
Not too keen on others, sorry.

Crystalblue13 · 01/10/2018 20:58

Evelina is gorgeous!

Picknickers · 01/10/2018 23:51

I'm not keen on Evelina as it sounds like Evil Lina to me. I love Natalia/Talia.

HairyToity · 02/10/2018 10:20

I like Evelyn and love Evelina. Evie is a sweet shortening. There are no Evies in my daughters year at school. Popular but not overdone.

TatianaLarina · 02/10/2018 10:55

Jasmine and Natalia.

starkid · 02/10/2018 12:28

I like Natalia :)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/10/2018 19:52

Evelina Jasmine is a beautiful name.
