All fine except Candy (Candace is acceptable)

I personally like Polly and Freda/Frida.

Matilda, Amelie and Ruby are lovely names but very popular.

Poppy, Scarlet and Ella are OK.

Isadora I don't really like.

Icklepup · 25/11/2018 15:03

I only like Scarlett, too

RavenWings · 25/11/2018 15:08

Good:Ruby, Scarlett

Just ok: Poppy, Frieda

Bad:
Polly - twee, infantilising
Ella - just so bland and unimaginative
Isadora - I actually like it but can't stand Izzy
Matilda - very personal dislike of it - only ever known brats named this
Candy - stripper. Candace would be nice, though.
Amelie - also boring

I like Matilda and Scarlett

kenandbarbie · 25/11/2018 15:47

All good except candy! Wtaf!!

Ploppymoodypants · 25/11/2018 15:49

All lovely apart from Candy, which sounds like a stripper from a 1980’s film.

Love Frieda

n0ne · 25/11/2018 16:18

Love Frieda, really like Matilda and Ruby. Candy is abysmal.

Shadow1234 · 25/11/2018 20:18

Polly

Fulltimemummy85 · 27/11/2018 17:07

Polly- I like it, very cute
Poppy- ok
Ella- fine
Isadora- sounds like Wizadora 🤣
Ruby- A bit common
Matilda- I like it
Candy- I knew a teenage candy she was very girl and suited it, not sure if a tom boy would suit it.

Amelie- hate it, I know an Amelie and it dsnt suit her

Frieda- reminds me of a cows name

Scarlett- pretty

Polly is my fave x

Gyokuro · 27/11/2018 17:14

I like Matilda and Scarlett, not a fan of the rest.

SilverySurfer · 27/11/2018 17:19

Ella is lovely.

NinjaGoSaysNo · 27/11/2018 17:23

Polly ok
Poppy ok but a bit cutesy
Ella overused
Isadora like it
Ruby overused
Matilda overused
Candy no way
Amelie pretentious
Frieda like it
Scarlett like it as long as your surname isn't a noun

starandson · 27/11/2018 20:00

I like Ruby and Matilda. Polly is ok.

finallychangedmyusername · 27/11/2018 20:08

I love Polly (preferably as a nickname for Mary) and Matilda. Isadora is nice. Amelia, Ruby, Scarlett and Ella feel a bit practicable/blah/baby girl born in 2018 to me. Poppy I feel is insubstantial once she gets past the age of 3. Frieda is unexpected although I would expect a German connection. Candy is awful. Just my opinions.
