Help me choose one from my list

[babyno2cooking]

So I've been through thousands of names and not one stands out, here's the list of names that I likeNot sure if I have a "type", popularity doesn't really bother me as long as I love the name...

-Daisy
-Elsie
-Lily
-Bella
-Ruby
-Heidi
-Maisie
-Poppy
-Isla
-Mia
-Gracie

Which out of my list do you think is the nicest? Also can you suggest a name that you like, thanks

Isla is my favourite from your list. Have you also considered Iona or Ailsa?

i like Heidi best from your list.

I also like Beth(an), Tess, Merryn

Elsie

Lovely list of names! I think Heidi sounds great.

Heidi is my favourite by a long way.
Ruby would be my second choice.

Gracie (Grace) and Bella are already hugely popular.

Elsie and Maisie and Poppy are my least favourite.

You seem to have chosen sweet names for a little girl, but think about them being grown too!

I love Heidi

Top 3 would be Ruby, Isla and Gracie

A LO I taught was Elspeth (nn Elsie), I really liked that.

Ruby Bella or Maisie.

Mia

All the rest are sooooooo popular.

Elsie or Ruby for me.

My favourites are Ruby and Mia. Lovely names. I do like many of the others on your list though as well. I dislike Heidi and Bella.

Some other suggestions: Tessa, Flora, Sascha, Kitty, Nellie, Greta, Violet.

Isla.

I really dislike Ruby, for some reason.

Daisy, ruby and poppy are so cute! I love pheobe and Scarlet too, they seem to fit your vibe

Elsie, Lily, Ruby

Ruby

Calla

Thanks all, like I said I already know how popular most of these names are. I don't understand how these aren't "adult names" if they are so popular, doesn't that show that in 20 years time almost adults will have these type of names? there's no baby sharons or Pauline's born now is there?

I also like Sophia, which I know has also become popular. Doesn't bother me I'd say my top 3 are probably Heidi, Ruby and Daisy.

I like maisie.

What about Mila?

Sometimes you get a name on the tail end of a 'boom'. So the main popularity has passed but when the child grows up they have a slight dated sounding name though not classic or old enough to be cool. I was named a decade after the peak for my name and it''s a bit ageing....on paper at least!. I have friends with 'young' names...their parents were a bit ahead of the curve.

All luck really and hard to predict but a few in your list have been super-popular for the last 15 years (3 Ruby's in my teen DC's group of a dozen friends for example, at least half a dozen Evie's in the year group (not on your list I know),. Plus tons of Isabelle/Bella/Ella's in another DC's slightly older group of uni friends. Then if you hit a name right in the middle of the boom there is always discussion and confusion as to which Ruby or Evieor Lily is which and each will always be referred to by teachers and peers with their surname or initial as well. So make sure she is likely to like her surname too if you go this route as she'll hear it a lot. If surname is a bit harsh sounding or difficult to say, I would search for a similar but more individual first name.

'They are ALL so generic and popular.'

This. None of them stand out to me. Sorry.

I think Lily is the best of the bunch. How about Lilian (which is lovely, has a nice 'vintage' feel and I think is still unusual)?

Lovely list - Daisy and Heidi are my favourites.
My dd has a popular name (top 5 the year she was born) but is the only one in her class. There are 3 girls with a much less popular name.

How about Lucy or Emily?

I would call her Elizabeth and then you can use Elsie or Lily as a nickname, or Betsy or Beth or Eliza. Lots of cool options for you and her, and a name that will never date.

Out of your top 3 I like Ruby the best.

I like Daisy, Bella and Isla. I agree that they are very popular names but I don't think that matters if you like them.

I am a hard no for Gracie unless she's actually christened Grace. Gracie is fine as a nickname, but it's too twee to saddle her with as a Christian name. She will have to wear the name as an adult as well as as a child!

I'm not wildly enthusiastic for any of them. I seem to know nine million already.
I'd go for something a bit different like Ivy, Tess or Nella.
