I posted another thread yesterday however hasn't had a lot of response so reposting. I'm pregnant with a little girl and love the name Ada but wanted a longer version my other names are:

Dahlia
Delilah
Camille
Rosaline
Helana
Lucile
Cecilia
Heidi
Nancy
Frances
Ophelia
Imogen

With middle name of either Susan, Josephine or Maureen

Heidi, Nancy and Imogen nicest imo. Middle names, they are all fine but Josephine is probably my fave x

I really like Ada and I think Ada Josephine sounds great ! If Ada is your favourite you should go with it

Delilah - love it! Such a sweet name.. I know one , she's American and absolutely beautiful and the sweetest little girl .

Heidi & Imogen are both nice too but not my favourite from the list. Rosaline doesn't sound right to me. I prefer Rosie, Rose or even Rosalie

IIWY, with those names to work with, I would call her Frances Ada Josephine. Cecilia is nice too, as is Helena (not Helana).

Hmm, mixed reviews all round. Me and DH are still on the search for more names to consider and have remarkably found the list for DC, any thoughts on:

Ines (worry to short)
Anais (concerned will always be pronounced wrong)
Valentine (Pronounced french way Val-en-teen)
Maria (DC2 has an M name and worry might sound to similar)
Claudia

Also thank god I have a while to decide because still miles away from a real shortlist

Dahlia - nope
Delilah- nope
Camille - beautiful
Rosaline- nope
Lucile - nope
Cecilia - yes
Heidi - yes
Nancy - awful
Frances - lovely
Ophelia - maybe
Imogen - ok

I had Delilah, Nancy and Heidi all on my list and I think Josephine goes really well with a middle name for all of them

Dahlia- no
Delilah- also no, sickly sweet
Camille- just don’t like but nothing wrong
Rosaline- nice but prefer just Rosa
Helana - Helena? But still no
Lucile- nice but prefer Lucia
Cecilia- I like it a lot
Heidi- nice
Nancy- nice
Frances- no
Ophelia- trying too hard
Imogen- I don’t get this name, so ugly to my ears
Ada- like it a lot

I also think Ada is a lovely stand alone name.
From your other list I like Imogen.

Think Rosalie (pronounced rosa-lee (or just Rosa) sounds prettier than rosaline.

Other ideas: Amelie or Elodie

I love Ada!

Imogen✔️

Dahlia - Love this, but only when pronounced dah-lee-ah. I think most people would pronounce it "day-lee-ah" though, which I hate.

Delilah - Sampson. Biblical whore. Nice enough name, but the connotations are too much for me.

Camille - No. Prefer Camilla, but we will have a Queen Camilla soon enough.

Rosaline - No. Sounds like it belongs on someone over 50.

Helana - Is this meant to be Helena? Not a fan, either way.

Lucile - Prefer the spelling Lucille, but still not a fan. Lucy is lovely, though.

Cecilia - Means "blind", so I'm not keen.

Heidi - No.

Nancy - No.

Frances - No.

Ophelia - Lovely.

Imogen - Lovely.

Love Rosalene(this spelling), Frances, Helena, Lucille, Cecilia, Heidi and Nancy, all lovely ! I also like Maria, Josephine and Susan.
Maria Josephine or Nancy Susan.
Other names
Adeline (Ada).
Jasmine
Lucinda
Rosina

Ines (may have pronunciation issues - how about Agnes? Same vibe, more familiar) and Maria are nice. Valentine is a boy's name.

Dahlia- black Dahlia so it’s a no from me
Delilah- hey there Delilah/my my my Delilah. Don’t like it.
Camille- very pretty
Rosaline- also pretty
Helana- prefer it spelt Helena but also nice
Lucile- pretty
Cecilia - love this, Cece is a cute diminutive
Heidi -always been a fan
Nancy- not a fan, just reminds me of the saying ‘stop being a nancy’
Frances- not a fan and would probably become Frankie
Ophelia- beautiful
Imogen- a bit dull nowadays

If you like Ada but want a full version how about Adaline? :)

From your new list I love Maria and Claudia.
