For a friend.

[Tillygetsit]

A friend of mine is a longterm lurker on here(waves!) but nervous about posting so I said I'd do it for her.
She is expecting a girl and would like you to rate her shortlist please. I'm staying neutral in this post but she knows what I think!
Jemima
Zinnia
Merryn
Sapphire
Mn will be Elizabeth a family name. Cant be used as first name. Thanks.

Jemina, I really like this
Zinnia, never hear d of it, not keen
Merryn, ok
Saphire, don’t like at all

They are all feel quite different to me, surprising as often people’s choices have a similar feel.

I quite like jemima and sapphire but I think jemima goes better with Elizabeth tbh

I really like them all except Zinnia which I've not heard of before - but sounds ok too!

Merryn and Sapphire are especially lovely.

Sapphire sounds horrible. Zinnia so-so. Merryn is nice, Jemima so-so.

I really like Merryn

Merryn.

Zinnia is lovely but doesn't work with Elizabeth. Jemima just screams 'Puddle-duck' to me even though it's a firm MN favourite. Sapphire is a gorgeous stone, but I'm not keen as a name.

I love Jemima, a favourite of mine.
Sapphire is lovely too, but will need to feel confident that the child will be happy to have an unusual name. Merryn feels rather dull to me, and certainly is compared with the others. Zinnia sounds rather harsh to me.

ADORE Jemima! It’s so beautiful 🥰 Merryn is my second favorite

Love Zinnea and Merryn.

Zinnia Merryn

Jemima first, Merryn second, not keen on the other two.

Love Jemima

Not keen on the others they seem a bit frilly and downmarket to me (sorry!)

Jemima as number 1

I like Merryn best, then Jemima. Saphire sounds like a stripper name and I've never heard of and don't like Zinnia.

Jemima is lovely.

Not keen on the others. Sapphire is a bit Chardonnay imo.

I love Jemima! Zinnia would be my second choice.

Jemima - not keen, I think I just don't like the mi sound in it
Zinnia - like it
Merryn - it's ok
Sapphire - kind of like it and like name Safi which you could have as nn

Merryn is my fave, Jemima is lovely too, not keen on the other two I'm afraid

Sapphire sounds chavy to me, or like a stripper name - sorry
Jemima is my favourite.
Never come across the other 2 but don't really warm to them.

Love Merryn.

Definitely jemima or merryn

I love Zinnias - such a pretty flower, but I think Merryn goes better with Elizabeth.

I only like Jemima.

I like Merryn but none of the others.

Merryn is lovely
