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!

Imogen no where near as popular as it was 10 years ago. Numbers have declined each year.

Really like Martha

Ps. Imogen is my fav though

I like all of them but Adeline is my favourite. I have an Ada, and, in hindsight I wish I’d given her the full name Adeline and shortened it to Ada.

Isobel is a great name, although I'm biased as I have an Isabel
Followed by Laura, could Lauren also be a possibility?

I have an 8 year old Sophie and she is the only one in her school, it isn't as popular in some areas as people may think and I love it anway

I agree @katie43210 about Sophie. I haven’t met one at baby groups

Sophie has actually declined in numbers every year for the past 20 years . It used to be the number 1 name but is now about to exit the top 20

Lovely name

Isobel (prefer this spelling too) and Adeline are my favourites.
I'm not keen on Martha.

Thanks everyone, definitely no consensus (which I was expecting as it’s so subjective) but I’m feeling much happier with my shortlist based on the feedback as someone at least likes each of them! @icannotremember really intrigued which your two all time favourites are now?

Definately Sophie with Martha as a close second.

Imogen by miles. Like Martha. The rest - meh.

Laura all the way

Laura

I have an Isobel so I'm biased. It can't be that common because we can never find anything with her name on it. She's 15 now and still nothing!!! Pick a name you like. So what if it's popular. Even if you pick an 'unusual' name, you may find that's about to be the trendy name.

I've met one 25 year old Adeline but loads of the other names in the 1 - 10 year age group. Adeline is a very beautiful and rare name which is why it's my favourite. You can guarantee that she'll be one of a select few.

I like Martha, Isobel, Adeline and Sophie best - although I'm biased about Sophie as it's my name! I like my name and to be honest I haven't met that many other Sophies in my life.

Really? Two of my best friends are called Sophie, my sister is a variant of Sophie and she has a best friend called Sophie too.

There are an awful lot of them...

@scribble2020- Isobel and Sophie/Sofia. But I only seem to produce boys so never got to use them!

Laura - bland
Sophie - nice
Imogen - like it
Martha - like it
Isobel - harsh sounding
Adeline - beautiful

Laura, Sophie or Isobel are great. Laura is unusual these days.

Laura lovely
Sophie dislike. A lot. Sofa
Imogen very good
Martha the biblical household drudge.
Isobel like this but a lot of them around.
Adeline fussy and not very nice sounding.

In terms of nicknames, my Imogen has never been Immy - she is Imo, Ims or Molly.

I like Laura, Martha and Sophie the best! Imogen and Adeline I'm not keen on at all, and Isobel is okay.

1. Adeline
2. Imogen

TatianaLarina Sophie was REALLY popular about 20-30 years ago but it's slipped out of fashion and there are loads more Sophias now. I think it's a timeless classic though.

Sophie is actually at 14 in the top 100 baby names 2019.
