My favourites:
Rose - very feminine and classic, I also like variations Rosalie, Rosaline
Alice - lovely and classic again but not overused
Thea and Thalia - both really lovely sounding!
Mariella - really pretty, much prefer this to Marielle
Faith - I like as a middle name

Don’t love:
Anais - nice but a mouthful to say and people will get it wrong!
Liberty/Summer/Jasmine/Chloe - I find them slightly dated, a bit 90s baby
Natalya and Imogen - I’ve just never liked how they sound!

Naomi - Prefer Noémie
Chloe - spell it Chlöe
Jasmine
Thea
Genevieve
Eloise
Anais - Use the umlaut. Anaïs. This is my daughters middle name. People in the uk ( and most English speaking countries) won't pronounce it properly though.
Marielle

Arowana · 26/02/2019 12:33

My favourites are Chloe, Holly, Grace, Emily, Rose, Alice and Summer.

Prefer Lila to Lilah and Amelie to Amalie.

Least favourites Genevieve, Thalia, Marielle and Ariella.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 26/02/2019 12:45

My favourite is Anais but you'll get people pronouncing it An-ay which will probably wear thin pretty quickly (& is the reason neither of my girls were called it in the end, it was on the list with each pregnancy).

I also really like Thalia & Ella

You're whole list is made up of really lovely names though. Maybe try & narrow it down to 4 or 5 & decide when baby is here/when you find.

flowersaremyfave · 26/02/2019 12:55

I like Lilah and Eloise the most on your list

Natalya is better spelt Natalia and is a pretty name

Quietplace19 · 26/02/2019 15:12

Funny how I don't think certain names are dated but it's helpful for others opinions.

Is it the sound of some of the names which aren't liked or is it connotations I wonder?

Evie
Sophia
Lily
