Saskia or Alicia.

MrsBertBibby · 23/12/2019 07:17

Honor or Inez. Imogen in third.

Haz1516 · 23/12/2019 07:20

Love Alicia (as in al-lyss-i-a), so pretty sounding.
Imogen is also a favourite. Like all the others apart from Allegra and Saskia.

LTEMercedes · 23/12/2019 07:29

Imogen or Inez xxx

Perid0t · 23/12/2019 07:32

Imogen or freja.

Astronica · 23/12/2019 11:07

Saskia and Imogen are the standouts for me.

Also quite like: Allegra, Freja, Inez, Honour.

Enko · 23/12/2019 11:45

Allegra and Honor imo both under used names that are pretty and classic.

Ines is pretty and I have known lovely ones mostly in Germany though.

I do like Imogen or saskia at all

The others are all a bit too popular for my taste nice enough names I just prefer more unusual ones

Elise or Freya

eryn6556 · 24/12/2019 00:27

elise or imogen from me!

lilybunnyc · 24/12/2019 00:28

I love Allegra! We considered it for our daughter, but we are American and it’s the name of a common allergy medicine.

FreshHorizons · 25/12/2019 22:33

Imogen

thr33andme · 25/12/2019 22:43

confusedyoungthing · 26/12/2019 17:56

I like Saskia and Imogen the most, Elise is nice too :)

Nofoolfornoone · 14/01/2020 15:07

Alicia is beautiful when pronounced “Alice-ey-yah”

Chocmallows · 14/01/2020 15:10

Elise or Freya

Tayla9889 · 15/01/2020 04:04

Like: Allegra, Honour, Saskia, Freja and Imogen.
Dislike: Alicia, Inez and Elise.

You have some beautiful choices

PlantPotting · 15/01/2020 08:29

Love the name Imogen

sel2223 · 15/01/2020 08:46

Another big fan of Imogen here!

notalwaysalondoner · 15/01/2020 18:50

Great list!!

Alicia - ok, would you pronounce it ‘alissia’ or ‘aleesha’? I’ve heard both but only like the first one.
Allegra - lovely, unusual although could be seen as a bit pretentious
Honour - spell it Honor but love it
Inez - prefer Ines, I think unless you have a Spanish connection it’s a strange choice
Elise - ok
Saskia - love it
Freja - prefer Freya, lovely name
Imogen - lovely classical name

OK, if I had to pick one it would be really hard but I think I would go for Saskia.

Urkiddingright · 16/01/2020 11:28

Inez.

OverthinkingThis · 16/01/2020 17:08

Elise or Imogen

Also love Ines, but not the Inez spelling

littlealexhorne · 16/01/2020 23:21

I like Freja, Saskia and Imogen. Also Alicia but dependings on pronunciation, I only like it pronounced A-Lee-Sia
