[goldandpink]

Hi everyone
Can't settle on a girls name. Really keen to hear views on my long list and hopefully I can start to whittle it down!

Tamsyn
Savannah
Ember
Freya
Emmeline
Elodie
Francesca
Talitha
Azalea
Tegan
Felicity

Thank you!

Elodie!

Tamsyn. Nice enough
Savannah I do like this a lot.
Ember not for me!
Freya lovely timeless and classic
Emmeline I know 1. Again classic and nice
Elodie not for me
Francesca my favourite from your list
Talitha nope! Like Tabitha though
Azalea not for me
Tegan not my favourite but nice enough name
Felicity again lovely timeless and classic.

I also like Frances which Francesca can be shortened too!

Felicity is my absolute favourite, beautiful name.

Love Emmeline too but would worry about people mishearing and calling her Emily all the time

Felicity, Emmeline and Freya are my favourites.

Absolutely love Emmeline and considered it for my dd but whenever I mentioned it to people they thought I said Emily so thought hat might be an issue. Love Emmy though.

Felicity is very pretty and lovely meaning.

Freya is nice but quite popular for preschoolers around here if that puts you off at all.

@MadameJosephine that's my main concern about Emmeline too. Love it though

Absolutely love Emmeline and considered it for my dd but whenever I mentioned it to people they thought I said Emily so thought hat might be an issue.

I wouldn't let that put you off - that's only a problem that might occur when your daughter first meets people. Once they learn her actual name they're not going to keep mistaking it for Emily. It's a lovely name.

Sorry that first part should've been in bold!

My favourite on your list is Emmeline. I knew an Emmeline who was called Emmy for short but also had other nicknames. Great name, classic, underused and a strong woman’s name in view of Emmeline Pankhurst.

I also like Talitha and has it on my list intending to use Tally for short. I think a character has that name in the book They Lost Art of Keeping Secrets’.

I used to like Eloide but a bit too popular at the moment for my liking.

Had not has! My baby naming days are over!

May be taking this a bit too seriously and far too much time on my hands (all will change when she's born!)

Emmeline and Felicity currently top of the leaderboard 😂

@goldandpink 🤣

I’m surprised more people aren’t bothered about Franny as a nickname. I’d absolutely hate it. Both the Francesca’s I know are “Franny” 😬

@MissHenty DP fancies Frankie as a nickname. I'm less keen and would be inclined to use the full name but Frankie is ok. i like chesca too. I haven't heard it shortened to franny before but could well happen!

I’d stick with Felicity if I were you. DD’s dad hated it so i couldn’t use it, same with Verity which has a similar vibe

From your list I like Emmeline, Elodie and Felicity.

Another vote for Emmeline from me!

I see people saying Elodie is popular but it’s number 143 in the name charts so hardly a top 10! I’ve never met an elodie yet

I like Freya, Emmeline, Francesca (nn Frankie) and Felicity. Favourite is Felicity

The Francescas I know are known as Fran or Ces. I think it's a lovely name.

Tamsyn - no.
Savannah - don't like
Ember - don't like
Freya - not keen
Emmeline - lovely, I'd choose this
Elodie - quite like this.
Francesca - no, don't like Fran
Talitha - no! (unless you meant Tabitha then yes!)
Azalea - no!
Tegan - NO!
Felicity - yes, lovely

Tamsyn - not this spelling. It’s short for Thomasina, which I really like.
Savannah- OK
Ember- dying ashes? Amber is nice.
Freya— OK
Emmeline- dated by at least 25 years. Emmie is twee. If Theresa a better short form I would like it.
Elodie - bland
Francesca- I like this a lot. Shortened to Franca.
Talitha- OK-ish
Azalea- OK for a hippyish vibe
Tegan- not keen
Felicity- yes

Tamsyn: is that related to Thomasine (which I happen to find gorgeous)? It looks a but clumsy with the y imo. Tamsin would be better.

Savannah: ok.

Ember: it's ok.

Freya: yes

Emmeline: boring but nice really .

Elodie: ok

Francesca: beautiful.

Talitha: I could come to really like that one, I believe.

Azalea: not a fan but ok.

Tegan: I don't like it.

Felicity: really nice.

What about Emmison ? @goldandpink

I like Elodie. HATE Felicity and Tamsyn. Talitha is nice

Oh and I also like Savannah! But don’t tell Mumsnet ... Savannah seems to be on the Mumsnet most hated list for some reason!
