Hello,

We have these names on our list,

What do you think?
Astrid
Eva
Bryher
Edith
Agnes

Any suggestions would be welcome

Lovely names apart from Bryher

Love Edith

Also love Margaret (Maggie)

I love Eva. It’s feisty strong and powerful yet feminine graceful and gentle at the same time. Evie is too twee and Eve is too bland, so Eva is an excellent balance
Bryher is very pretty.
I blow hot and cold with Astrid at the moment I’m cold.
I like Edie but not Edith. It’s what I call an unfriendly name.
Agnes. See Edith.

Other ideas
Emilia. Kate. Lois. Martha. Delilah. Penelope
Farrah. Julia. Iris. Margaret. Maria. Florence

I like Astrid and Edith.

Eva is extremely popular and has been for some years. Not keen on Agnes as will probably get Aggie as a nn.

Bryher will spend a lifetime spelling their name.

Only like Astrid

Astrid is nice but I do feel it's a bit cold. Any reason for the spelling of Brhyer? Not Briar, which is lovely and not commonly used. Agatha rather than Agnes maybe?

Really like Astrid.

Have never met one IRL, of any age.
A cool name, which is criminally neglected, imo!

Lovely set of names. Particularly Agnes and Edith

Mixed views, Astrid and Edith seem to be the favourites.

It's spelt Bryher as it's an island on the Isles of Scilly, we're in Cornwall and holiday over there

I wouldn't use any of them to be honest, Edith at a push.

Astrid - ok
Eva - too popular
Bryher - ok
Edith - meh
Agnes - ok

I wouldn’t use any, Astrid if I was forced to use one.

I think Bryher is stunning, and my favourite of the list. I do like unexpected and strong sounding names.

I really like Edith, my 2nd choice. The others are all nice enough. Astrid is strong and distinctive, and Agnes has strong tradition without being popular which is a hard combination to achieve. Eva is traditional and sweet, though combined with several similar names (Evelyn, Evie etc) is a popular sound right now.

I like them all, with maybe the exception of bryher. Edith stands out to me most. I love eva but it is very popular now. What about francis? Or Blair?

Eva is the only one I like

Gorgeous, all of them. I'd have used Edith if I'd had a girl.

Bryher may prove irritating to her though, in terms of spelling and pronunciation.

Eva is perhaps a bit well used, but still very nice.

LOVE Astrid and Edith!

Breyer is really awful - the rest are lovely
Astrid is very cool & quirky

Bryher is lovely but I agree she will spend her life explaining it and spelling it. Presumably Agnes for the same reason?

Helen is an option if you want a Scillonian connection. Armorel (of Lyonesse) for something more unusual?

Astrid - lovely
Eva - don't like it
Bryher - only if you have some connection
Edith - no
Agnes - not sure

Astrid - nice
Eva - ok, bit meh
Bryher - not keen on how this looks written down
Edith - lovely. And Edie is a lovely nickname too
Agnes - not keen, too harsh sounding

Thanks everyone,

We're still very undecided, we're thinking of using Bryher as a middle name as we love it but understand it might be annoying for her in the future

Astrid

Agnes is my favourite

Edith or Agnes are my favorites.
Annice is a slightly softer sounding variant.

Astrid
Eva
Bryher
Edith
Agnes

Astrid - makes me think of Space. I think it is a nice name, a bit too out-there for me, but it's gaining popularity. There's no nickname for it though.

Eva - one of my all time favourite names. Only thing that puts me off is how popular Eve/Eva/Evie type names are right now.

Bryher - not familiar with this name. It looks made up. Briar is a much nicer alternative. A lot of people wouldn't know how to say or spell this name.

Edith - lovely name. Classic, vintage, elegant. Edie is a lovely nickname too.

Agnes - vintage name that's coming back into popularity again. To me it sounds a bit harsh, and Aggy is the only nickname, which just makes me think of Kim and Aggie!
