The all nice inoffensive names, but.
I only personally like Eden. Sienna is okay but I don’t particularly like it.

Alessia - confusing with the Elisha, Alicia, Aleesha type names that are popular
Ettie - ok, but Etihad airlines...
Elsie - ok
Eden - meh
Bella - no.
Sienna - ok

Love sienna

DramaAlpaca · 06/08/2019 15:02

I think Sienna is lovely, really pretty. Bella is nice if it's short for something, as is Ettie. My least favourite is Elsie.

Alessia - Alexia was on my shortlist, and I still prefer Alexia to Alessia but both are beautiful, I really like it!
Ettie - I personally don't like it because my name ends in -etta and I hate people shortening my name to this. On the other hand, you could call her something longer ending in -etta and use Ettie as a nickname! It would also make an adorable shortening of Arrietty which I love.
Elsie - Nicola Sturgeon (Elsie McSelfie) is my first thought, sorry
Eden - Lovely name Grin
Bella - Not a fan, Belle is probably my favourite name of all time but for some reason I'm not keen on Bella at all.
Sienna - There are 3 in my daughter's class and one of her friends has an older sister called Sienna, so I personally wouldn't use it, but if you don't mind her having a super popular name it is actually really nice!

user1493494961 · 06/08/2019 17:31

Not really keen on any of them. If I had to choose one, probably Elsie.

Paddyodoors · 06/08/2019 17:37

Elsie gets my vote. Rest of them are a little meh

laylabella · 06/08/2019 17:43

I love sienna and Alessia. Bella is way too popular and not that nice and same with Elsie. Eden is ok but not sure about Ettie

Offblue · 06/08/2019 18:17

Think We have similar taste.
Alessia - lovely, pretty and not too common
Ettie - lovely
Elsie - not so keen, doesn't age well
Eden- love it
Bella- gorgeous
Sienna- my fav!

Hard choice. Your little girl will have a fab name seeing from your choices.

Also never understand the need for ppl to post saying they don't like any of your choices. If it's not to your taste at all not necessary to post.

Atlasta · 06/08/2019 18:19

Bella
Eden
Elsie
Not a fan of the others.

daisypond · 06/08/2019 18:31

Alessia- yes, prob my favourite.
Ettie- no. Just a non-name.
Elsie- awful, dreary and dowdy
Eden-ok
Bella-ok
Sienna-ok

manicinsomniac · 06/08/2019 18:39

Alessia - actually never come across this but I really like it.
Ettie - I really like it as a nickname but not a standalone - love the suggestion of Arietty nn Ettie
Elsie - quite cute
Eden - love it
Bella - it's ok. Would prob go with Arabella/Isabella/Annabelle
Sienna - it's ok

TempsPerdu · 06/08/2019 20:03

DD is Greta and goes by Ettie as a nickname but I wouldn’t use it as a standalone name. Or Juliet could also potentially be shortened to Ettie? How about Etta? Sounds a little more substantial to me.

Other than that I’m not too keen of any of your choices - they’re not dreadful by any means, just not my style.

neighbourhoodwitch · 06/08/2019 20:08

Congratulations! Love Bella. X

LittleDoveLove · 06/08/2019 20:10

Not sure about Ettie but don't dislike it. The others all lovely x

perpendiculartriangle · 06/08/2019 20:12

Eden is my favourite from the list, I love it.
Alessia reminds me a lot of Alicia which I would prefer but Alessia is nice too.
Ettie is lovely but sounds more like a nickname.
I also really like Elsie
Bella and Sienna are lovely names, they were two of my favourites a few years ago but I've heard them so much since I'm less keen now

bamacuppa · 06/08/2019 20:48

Congratulations!
Alessia - quite like
Ettie - really really love this. Love Etta too. Marmite name tho.
Elsie - nice, popular
Eden - dislike
Bella - as pp said, belle is much nicer
Sienna - pretty

Astronica · 07/08/2019 00:54

I like Eden and Elsie. Ettie is only a nickmae for something else for me. Alessia is nice enough, just a little fussy for my taste. I dislike Bella and Sienna.
