Laura, Imogen, Martha, Sophie, Isobel or Adeline

[scribble2020]

Hello! I’m trying to think of a baby girls name which I’m really struggling with - boys are so much easier! Have shortlisted the following and was hoping for some views:

Laura
Sophie
Imogen
Martha
Isobel
Adeline

Any thoughts? We’re looking for something feminine but not too frilly or trendy. I love Isobel but worry it’s a bit popular at the moment. Thank you!

Laura and adeline are least trendy atm.

Isobel and variants (isabelle, Isabella)
Sophie and variants (sophia)
Both very popular

Martha and imogen in the middle.

I like the least popular 4 with Adeline m favourite

Isobel and Imogen are my favourites from your list - both fabulous names.

Isobel is the best

My favs are Laura and Sophie. Very elegant names.

All beautiful, classic and elegant!👌
A great list.

I would probably relegate Adeline to middle name as it flows nicely as that.

I like Martha the best.

Adeline and Martha. ❤️

Actually Imogen is lovely too. Laura Sophie and Isobel are very dull compared to the others.

Laura's due a revival. Lovely name, best of your list.

I actually think Sophie is the perfect name, but so do far too many others.

Martha is lovely but doesn't travel well (not keen on the 'Marta' pronunciation it would get outside English-speaking countries).

Don't like Imogen or Adeline much (esp not pronounced Ade-lyne). Isobel's quite sweet but again very popular.

Have you consided Adelina as an alternative to Adeline? I had a colleague called Adelina and loved the name, definitely would have used it if I'd had a girl.

Laura or Martha

Laura - I love this.
Sophie - sweet and always appealing - popular though
Imogen - equal favourite with Laura, strong and feminine
Martha - less popular than the others which could be an advantage, but I'm not keen on it
Isobel - good name but very popular
Adeline - doesn't appeal to me at all, whereas I love Adelaide

other ideas of feminine but not frilly:
Bridget
Adelaide
Romilly
Violet
Ingrid
Astrid
Jemima
Cressida
Tabitha
Alexis
Frances
Margaux
Antonia

Sophie is classic and less of a trend than Sophia

Laura and Martha - tired sounding
Sophie - lovely. Sophia even better
Isobel - popular but very nice
Imogen - OK
Adeline - don't like

I love Martha!

Isobel that's such a lovely name

I have an Isobel. I love her name. I rarely see that spelling variant. It is fairly popular but she's the only Isobel (or variant) in her class

Martha!

Isobel: lovely but I know 100s of currently teens with variations of the name.

Imogen: lovely, bit dated

Adeline: not keen. Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Laura - lovely, classic and not overused right now
Sophie - lovely, classic and not overused right now
Imogen - ok, I don't like Immy
Martha - ok
Isobel - ok but I don't like Issy. Lots of Isabels, Isabelles and Isabellas around. Will get misspelt.
Adeline - dreadful

Bedknobs and Broomsticks is Eglantine

I like all of them! That doesn't really help you. My daughters have two of the names on your list.

Sophie

I like Laura and Martha.

Isobel and Sophie are full and overused.

Imogen and Adeline are ok.

Martha or Sophie for me.

Laura is stuck in the 1990s.

I love Laura - beautiful name.
Dislike Sophie and Martha.
