If I love...

[34plus4]

If I love these girls names can you think of any names I might also like? I kind of like an Italian vibe but then also traditional sounding English classics, bit of a mixed bag I suppose. Also, do you like these names? If you don't like them can you tell me why exactly?

Rose/Rosie
Harriet
Lucia
Emma nn Emmy
Emmeline nn Emmy
Elizabeth / Elisabeth
Mary
Charlotte nn Lottie
Alessia nn Lessie/y
Darcy
Ruby

I love the nn Emmy for those two,
And then I kinda like 'Gemma' but wouldn't use it I went to school with a really annoying girl called Gemma and I can't get over it.

Would be really grateful for any suggestions, I can't think anymore!

If you like Gemma, what about Jenna? I think it's such a beautiful and classic name, I don't understand why it's not more common.

Rose/Rosie- I like Rose a lot but not Rosie at all! Too frilly
Harriet- just sounds a bit ugly to me sorry!
Lucia- not keen! Don’t like ‘Lu’ names in general
Emma- Find this name really dull
Emmeline- not keen at all
Elizabeth / Elisabeth- I really like Elizabeth
Mary- absolutely adore Mary! Biased though as it’s my DDs name
Charlotte- not keen but it’s not that bad! It’s ok.
Alessia nn Lessie/y- really not keen
Darcy- no really don’t like! It’s too faddy
Ruby- nice!

@34plus4

That's a real mismatch of names....

Elizabeth and Darcy?

Charlotte and Alessia?

Elizabeth & Charlotte = classic

Darcy and Alessia = a bitmodern and common (not in popularity )

I prefer your classic choices.

Rose/Rosie - rose is a bit old fashioned and prim and proper for a first name for me. Rosie is nice but cutesie?
Harriet - nice
Lucia - not sure if you've already answered this but is it pronounced lu-see-ah or lu-chee-ah? I like it with an s sound
Emma nn Emmy - cute
Emmeline nn Emmy - cute
Elizabeth / Elisabeth - again too traditional for me!
Mary - way too old fashioned for my liking. I'm 25 and went to school with 2x Mary's. Both very religious.
Charlotte nn Lottie - cute
Alessia nn Lessie/y - cute
Darcy - cute
Ruby - cute

Alyssa
Francesca
Ettie
Sylvie
Amelia / Emilia

I love Alessia and Rosa.

Lucia no. The ones I met pronounce like Lucy-a and Luchia so it is too confusing.

I think Darcy is a boy name.

Rosie, Ruby and Charlotte are now too overused and dated.

I don't like Harriet as it seems like it became popular because it is the female form of Harry.... just slap a suffix on the end for the girls! And I really do not like Hattie, it feels like a contrived nickname as surely Harri/Harry would be the most natural nickname? And I can't past the Hat-adjective

Jemima

I do like Francesca! But hate nn's Fran and Cesca which would be unavoidable at school!

Aqua is a definite no no!!

I do really like 'Frances' but again, Fran erks me.

I love Claudia and Alexandra, but can't use those.

I just don't see how I'll ever be able to choose!

Thank you all.

My sister is Francesca but her nn has always been Chess/Chessie, if that helps?

Jemima?

Rose/Rosie - I like rose but not Rosie- too cutesy
Harriet - dull and worthy
Lucia - yes I like this pronounced the Italian way
Emma nn Emmy - ok but a bit boring
Emmeline nn Emmy- a bit boring
Elizabeth / Elisabeth -yes, classic
Mary- yes. Classic and not common
Charlotte nn Lottie - downmarket
Alessia nn Lessie/y - yes
Darcy - downmarket
Ruby - yes. Simple but quite a strong name.

Alessa? Laura pronounced the Italian way? Celia? Cecilia pronounced the Italian way? Anna? Rosa? Cosima?

Daisy ?

Jemima
Jennifer

Love Alessia

Out of your list I think Emma is beautiful, classic and timeless but not over-used.

Alessia is beautiful when pronounced properly but in the UK it gets said with 1 's' instead of 2 and it's also a very obviously Italian name so would be a bit weird if you're not Italian.
What about Emilia? Italian but used so much by non-Italians now that it's 'crossed over'.

Firstly if you cant bare Gemma, what about Jenna?

Gabrielle or Gabrielle
Layla
Aria
Rochelle
Fleur
Clementine
Sienna
Iris
Ivy
Keira
Avery
Emelia

Jemima is lovely! Clementine is nice but wouldn't be brave enough to use it😬

I agree I think maybe Charlotte has become really overused and sounds abit boring now.

Yes baby will be 1/4 Italian is it's not too weird! I love Alessia! I didn't realise there were 2 ways to pronounce it though?

I also like Lucia pronounced loo see ah rather than the traditional loo chi ah however I think that would make my nonna turn in her grave😩 Luchia, luchia, luchia... the more I say it the more weird it sounds

Rose/Rosie - love them both. I'd probably go with Rose on the bc & use Rosie as a nn. My favourite of your names.
Harriet - love
Lucia - pronounced Luchia, it sounds like a disease to me. Much prefer Lucille
Emma nn Emmy - love Emma
Emmeline nn Emmy - not a fan, I get the association with Emmeline Pankhurst but otherwise unsure of why this name is so popular
Elizabeth / Elisabeth - love Elisabeth. Elspeth is beautiful too
Mary - 100%
Charlotte nn Lottie - ok
Alessia nn Lessie/y - not a fan
Darcy - to me, it's a boys name
Ruby - cute, but prefer others above
