In order:
Lara
Emmeline
Cecily
Nina
Theodora

Whatsyourflava · 30/03/2020 13:23

Theodora - love
Cecily/Cecilie - awful - too harsh S sound and sounds like Silly
Emmeline - horrible. Sounds like 4 names merged into one. Also sounds like braces - Invisalign
Lara - love
Nina - love

goldustwoman · 30/03/2020 13:27

Any similar sounding suggestions? We like a classy sounding name with potential nicknames, quite unusual but still feminine.

@awwlookatmybabyspider I love Lara Penelope!

@Whatsyourflava Edith and Jemima are adorable! You're definitely getting my taste!

I also think Francesca is very pretty, but not sure if it is perhaps too popular. I do like that that it's not your typical 'rising trend' though

I'm open to as many suggestions as you all think may suit my style. My partner will shoot half of them down, so the more I'm armed with, the better Wink

userabcname · 30/03/2020 15:07

I really like Nina. Jemima is lovely too.

purplerainn · 30/03/2020 15:15

Out of the ones you have mentioned I love Nina, Lara and Francesca. I have a lovely 4 year old niece called Francesca so may be a little biased but it suits for any age, she gets Frankie as a NN.

tryingtoconcieve1 · 30/03/2020 15:27

Theodora is so lovely!
Nina is like a siren sound

goldustwoman · 30/03/2020 16:39

I like Lara and Theodora. I cant decide if I like Nina - it's okay.

Emmeline just seems too overused with all the Em names although its probably my favorite Em name.

Dont like Cecily that much.

CuppaZa · 31/03/2020 03:58

Lara and Nina are my preferred on your list.
How about
Eloise
Sofia
Roxanna
Penelope
