girls names

[delusionalnights]

Going back to our long list here as we’re undecided:

Frances
Evie
Eva
Eve
Maddie
Chloe
Lola
Olivia
Evelyn
Honey

Please give opinions on each name

I don't like Lola, because of the songs
Don't like Honey - well, because it is a food that bees make.

I prefer Evelyn to Eve / Evie / Eva as you can shorten Evelyn to one of the others to give options when she wants them, but not the other way round. That said, Evelyn is one of those names that can be pronounced in different ways, which can be a pain, when it is your name.

Frances is fine - not particularly my taste, but a good name.

I like Maddie (but same thing again with shortenings - personally I'd give the long name and leave your dd with options throughout life)

Chloe - I like
Olivia - I like

Frances - ok a bit old fashioned
Evie - boring
Eva - too many of them
Eve - better
Maddie - dislike but love Madeleine
Chloe - dated but I do think it’s a pretty name
Lola - dreadful
Olivia - too many of them
Evelyn - hate it
Honey - quite like it

A lot of the names you’ve listed are really poplar and just seem really unimaginative now. Sorry OP!

Frances - dislike
Evie/Eva/Eve - fine but very popular
Maddie - quite like, love Madeleine as the longer version
Chloe - really like! It was very popular when I was at school but I'm a teacher now and it definitely seems less used. Very pretty name.
Lola - makes me think of Copacabana although it is nice.
Olivia - like and even though it always seems to top baby name lists I don't actually know that many.
Evelyn - dislike.
Honey- sweet for a baby but I'm not sure it ages well. I do actually like it but I don't think I'd use it myself.

Chloe and Honey are nice. The rest are just boring apart from Maddie and Evelyn which are hideous. (Sorry!)

Frances - old fashioned
Evie - nice
Eva - over used
Eve - nice
Maddie - don’t like, but I like Madeline
Chloe - a little dated
Lola - not sure
Olivia - overused
Evelyn - nice and not over used
Honey - cute, but not sure if it suits an adult
🍀💕

I agree they're all meh and v popular on the whole (esp the boards of Evie/Eva/Evelyns).

Lola is ok but what about Lila? I think it's prettier.

Olivia is obviously far too popular but what about Olive?

Chloe is alright. Cleo?

All (apart from Frances and Honey) are very overused atm, which puts me off them.
Frances is OK, Francesca is nicer.
Honey just reminds me of the Eastenders character.

My daughter is Evelyn on her BC. It gets a lot of hate on MN but I have genuinely, hand on heart, have never met another one! (Well, a child one anyway) Maybe they all go by Evie? Anyway, that is my favourite on your list. I think Honey is sweet (pun intended) for a baby/toddler but might not be great for a surly teenager.

Frances - like it
Evie - v popular
Eva - v popular
Eve - better, nut likely to be nicknamed Evie
Maddie - abbreviation of Madeleine
Chloe - I like it
Lola - ... she was a showgirl....., .... walked lie a woman and talked like a man...
Olivia - so popular it hardly serves to identify people at all.
Evelyn - Nice
Honey - is this actually a name?

Evie : not a real name
Eva : nice but a bit overused

Frances - it nice but not a name I would pick.
Evie - cute but as a nickname, I'd have Evelyn on birth certificate.

Chloe - it ok but not overly keen.
Lola - not keen
Olivia - lovely

Frances. Love this, but only it is entirety. Really dislike Frankie. That’s the only reason I personally wouldn’t use it.
Evie. Irritates me,
Eva Gorgeous and classy.
Eve. Too plain.
Maddie. I like Madeleine but Maddie is dreadful.
Chloe. I love this. Very pretty. Not that many baby Chloe’s around now, are there.
Lola. I’ll go as far as to say The worse girls name ever.
Olivia. Adore this. Yes it’s extremely popular, and Yes she’ll probably be one of 4 in her class, but it’s not faddy. It suits all ages and people from all walks of life. What’s not to love
Evelyn. ReAlly don’t get the hype over this one.
Honey. Awful.

Like Lola and Honey!

Honey - hate it

Sorry OP, meant to post as a separate thread

I love the name Olivia and haven’t actually met another through 3 years of playgroups!!

Honey sounds like a p*rn star but I like all the rest of your names. In my experience, children can shorten Frances to Frannie (rhymes with.... 😬)

I have a Chloe and only child called Chloe I know around here, love Olivia love Maddie and Eva Evie etc

Lola and Honey are my favourites
