Girls name list

[EalingEllie]

Thoughts on these names please. Just want to get a general idea on how our shortlisted names are perceived. Thanks!

Jean
Sadie
Rebekah
Deborah
Gretel
Zoe
Naomi

A bit of a mixed bag, but it's what we've come up with so far.

I like Deborah (hate Debbie though) and Sadie

Deborah feels like a very 50s/60s and Debbie even more so

Not keen on any of them tbh - sorry OP

I like Rebekah best out of your list, but I think it looks much nicer spelt Rebecca. Sadie would probably be my second choice.

Jean - don't like. Dull
Sadie - love, pretty but strong
Rebekah - ok, I like this spelling but I suspect it is a lifetime of correcting people
Deborah - don't like at all. TOo 70s
Gretel - I'm not a fan though I know this is popular on this board
Zoe - I really like this. Again pretty but strong
Naomi - it's ok, I'm not a big Biblical-names fan

Sad Sadie - dislike.
Zoe - it isn't a very nice sound plus every Zoe I've known has been a right twit.
Rebekah - perfectly okay but never more than okay. It's still suffering from being used to death in the 90s.

Jean - like but some will think it old or plain.
Deborah - fine, is it still dated? Perhaps. I like it though.
Naomi - like.
Gretel - used to be a comedy name round here (like when you name a pet Hortensia or Terrance) buuuut it's rather growing on me and it is a little ahead of the upcoming trend of "harder" sounding names.

I like Jean, Deborah and Rebekah best.

Jean ❌ all I think of is "sausage surprise!" for anyone who gets that quote
Sadie✔️ very pretty name
Rebekah❌ too common
Deborah❌ outdated
Gretel❔not sure prefer Greta
Zoe✔️ sweet short name
Naomi✔️ fairly uncommon and classy

Jean - There isn't anything 'wrong' with it but I don't like it.
Sadie - Very nice
Rebekah - Its ok
Deborah - No.
Gretel - No.
Zoe - Its nice.
Naomi - I don't like.
