New thread, rate and slate my shortlist

[girlmama1990]

If you didn't read my last thread, I'm due a 5th baby girl in Sept!
I already have: Saskia, Everly, Adelyn, Yasmin
Here's the shortlist:
Rosalie
India
Cassia
Claudia
Bonnie
Nellie
Elke
Florence
Vienna

Anymore suggestions / ideas?

Rosalie- like and think it goes quite well with your other names
India- really like
Cassia- i like but weirdly it reminds me of the calculator brand Casio
Claudia- dislike don’t know why
Bonnie- i think it only suits when they are a young child/ sounds like a nickname
Nellie- dislike
Elke- dislike makes me think of an elk
Florence- love
Vienna- not sure

Rosalie - it's nice but makes me think of Cockney rhyming slang for a cup of tea

India - Nice and the nn Indi is cute
Cassia - like it nn Cass or Cassie are lovely. Does remind me a bit of Cassio though.

Claudia - Nice but the meaning of the name is 'lame' (not sure if that bothers you

Bonnie - Not keen at all can't say why
Nellie - really dislike this it has a clumsy sound to it
Elke - makes me think of Elk the animal
Florence - Nice but very popular
Vienna - not keen sounds a little pretentious

Other suggestions
Sorrel
Heloise

Love Rosalie. Love Nell not Nellie.

Bonnie was on our list but vetoed (by DH). Glad we didn't use it - not sure why.

Didn't like the others much but no strong feelings either way.

We also had Daphne on our short list - I do wish we'd gone for that but too late now

I had elke on my list. Also love Rosalie, Claudia and nell (will she be helen?)

I loooove Rosalie too!!! And India ;)

Saskia, Elke and India are on my list. They are my list in fact....in that order. Great names. I’d go with Elke. My best friend is one of 6...5 sisters. Congratulations! 😊

I think she should have her own initial, like her sisters, so I'd cross off Elke. If you're in the UK, a lot of people will mis-pronounce Elke as elk, so tbh I'd avoid it anyway. I think Cassia is by far the nicest name on your list, followed by Rosalie and then Bonnie. Claudia is also fine.

I don't like Florence (overused) or the other place names, so would cross off Vienna and India, especially as your other girls all have personal names rather than place names.

I don't like Nellie very much, due to the elephant rhyme, but do like Nell.

Rosalie - tea
India - meh
Cassia - no
Claudia - beautiful
Bonnie - lies over the ocean
Nellie - elephant
Elke - nice
Florence - gorgeous
Vienna - too try hard

Claudia is my favourite by far. Elke reminds me of the animal. Not a pleasant name!

Thank you all so far! Will be creating a new thread tomorrow with my narrowed down shortlist :)

Rosalie is the best by miles.

Rosalie - ok
India - no
Cassia - nice
Claudia - ok
Bonnie - for a horse
Nellie - for an elephant
Elke - ok
Florence - bit dull
Vienna - stupid. Unless you really like Ultravox.

Oh dear God not Vienna!! That's dreadful!

I kinda like Claudia.

I like Claudia, Cassia, Vienna, Nellie and India. I’m not sure on the pronunciation of Elke? PP is right I would have said Elk.

I currently like the name Meredith for a girl.

Elke- is that pronounced "Elk-Ah" or Elkie, as in the singer Elkie Brookes?

If it's "Elkie", I love it!

Vianney?

From your list
Rosalie
India
Bonnie
Florence

Love:
Claudia
Bonnie
Florence

Like:
Cassia
Nellie

Really dislike:
Rosalie
Vienna

Claudia is my pick for best with the sisters.

I think cassia is a bit too similar to saskia-it has all the same sounds..

Rosalie or Cassia

Vienna from your list.

I think Essie would go nicely with your other DD's names.

Rosalie - don't really like, I just prefer Rose
India - lovely, I like Indie as a nickname
Cassia - really nice
Claudia - love this
Bonnie - awful
Nellie - pretty bad, I like Ellie though
Elke - I don't really know how to pronounce this
Florence - way to popular
Vienna - really nice.

I think Claudia or Heloïse would be lovely with your other DDs' names.

Elke is on my list too. I think it's a lovely name. If you're worried about pronunciation you could always spell it Elka, which is how it's spelled in some European countries.
I also love Claudia.
