I absolutely love Tilly. I also like Chloe.
The only one I actively dislike is Summer

SionnachRua · 17/05/2020 20:13

Ranking:

  1. Elodie.
  2. Summer (I always wonder if this is odd on someone not born in summer though?)
  3. Heidi
  4. Caitlin (does make me think of Jenner)
  5. Chloe
  6. Tilly (this is just very...blah and nothing-y by itself)

Caitlin - Love it but there's so many spelling variations that I think it could be a potential headache
Chloe - Nice and simple, love it.
Elodie - Not a fan
Heidi - Not a fan either
Summer - Like it
Tilly - Love!

I knew a girl in primary school named Bronwen Tilly and I thought it was a beautiful combination, she didn't go by Tilly though :(

Orphlids · 17/05/2020 20:16

I would choose Heidi. Tilly is a bit too cutesy for my taste, Summer and Caitlin aren’t posh enough for my taste (that, of course, is a ridiculous reason for someone to discount a name), Chloe I find so boring, and I think that Elodie, although beautiful, is going to become extremely popular soon. Heidi is great - exciting, pretty, established, but fairly unusual. Good luck choosing!

Monkeytapper · 17/05/2020 20:17

Heidi, ....I have a Heidi and like that she is the only Heidi at the moment in her primary school.

Jasharps · 17/05/2020 20:18

Heidi for me too.

One of my DDs is Heidi and we always get compliments

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/05/2020 20:52

I love Chloe and Heidi. I think id go with Chloe

Curious200 · 17/05/2020 20:53

Elodie as its different

SecondStarFromTheRight · 17/05/2020 20:54

Elodie is my favourite. The others all have negative connotations in mind.

LotusClover · 17/05/2020 21:02

Caitlin - lovely, not too popular
Chloe - classic and beautiful
Elodie - pretty, but unfortunately it will date
Heidi - probably my favourite from the list
Summer - lovely and goes best with Noah IMO
Tilly - don't like, too cutesy and boring

So yeah, the only one I dislike is Tilly. My top two are Heidi and Chloe.

Would love to know what you decide on in the end, if you don't mind sharing Smile

nevernotstruggling · 17/05/2020 21:04

Posters who come on the threads to say Elodie will date. Odfod

Destroyedpeople · 17/05/2020 21:06

Honestly the only two of those I can imagine being taken seriously as an adult are Chloe and Elodie. The rest sound like cutesy nicknames. And Chloe is way overused already.

summersun7 · 17/05/2020 21:07

@LotusClover Of course I will share.... Really want to come to a decision now 🤦‍♀️ X

Dislike Heidi and Tilly

Love all the other especially Elodie and Chloe. They are 2 of our top names (DP is French)

TeaAddict235 · 17/05/2020 21:10

Elodie
Tilly

Both tasteful

Glitterbubbles · 17/05/2020 21:11

When I said DP is French, the relevance was that we are looking at names which work in both French and English!

Thesaltandthesea · 17/05/2020 22:01

I have a Tilly and Heidi is a serious contender should DC3 be a girl

123Dancewithme · 17/05/2020 22:04

I don’t really like any of them tbh. They’re all a bit dated or cutesy.

Summer or Chloe if I had to pick.

BlueBooby · 17/05/2020 22:05

I like Chloe the most out of those.

whattodo2019 · 17/05/2020 22:07

The only one I really like is Elodie but I'm
Not really that keen.
So sorry x

The reason I'm not keen is name association

summersun7 · 17/05/2020 22:11

@whattodo2019 Totally understand. I have name association with ALOT of names due to my job, hence why girls names have been so hard 😫

Heidi, as said before, but Tilly is better than Milly :)

Tilly - short for Matilda, though.

missmouse101 · 17/05/2020 22:43

Heidi is lovely. Elodie is awful, like the letters L. O. D. Caitlin is my second favourite.

LittleCabbage · 17/05/2020 22:45

Heidi is my favourite.

Malysh · 17/05/2020 23:03

I like Caitlyn or Summer. The others are nothing special (not bad, not awesome). The only one I actively dislike is Tilly because it's a nickname, not an actual name.
