I like Zara best.

Maisie is really sweet, but I don't think it passes the grown up test for me.

Violet is nice, but it is too popular and I don't like any of the nicknames/pet names.

Not keen on Hermione or Melody, a bit too fussy/girly.

Hermione - 2/10
Violet - 7/10
Melody - 5/10
Maisie - 0/10
Zara - 2/10

Hermione and Violet are stunning choices. Zara is nice too. I'm less keen on Melody and Maisie.

NannyR · 09/06/2020 19:53

I love Zara and Maisie. Not keen on Violet or Melody at all. Hermione is a nice enough name.

AdaColeman · 09/06/2020 19:54

Zara & Violet are my favourites.
Not keen on the others at all.

userabcname · 09/06/2020 19:57

I love the name Hermione, hands down my favourite. Zara is quite nice too. I'm not a massive fan of Maisie but every Maisie I know is absolutely lovely so I have very positive associations with it!

lockdownbreakdown · 09/06/2020 19:57

They are all fine. Just pick the one you like the best .

Wolfgirrl · 09/06/2020 19:59

Violet is my favourite. Zara is okay. Hermione is hideous, it will be forever associated with HP.

NuffSaidSam · 09/06/2020 20:00

'They are all fine. Just pick the one you like the best'

😂 They should close the baby name section and just put this instead.

SatsukiKusakabe · 09/06/2020 20:01

I think they’re all nice but I know a Hermione and a Maisie but none of the others so maybe not all that popular.

Violet’s my favourite.

MondeoFan · 09/06/2020 20:01

I like them all except Maisie.

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 09/06/2020 20:02

Maisie or Zara

Hermione dislike - too frilly
Violet - love love love - favourite- never met one
Melody - it's ok . Dated and I'd say the modern equivalent is Elodie which is could get misheard for
Maisie - love love love
Zara - love love love

BabyG123 · 09/06/2020 20:52

Hermoine just reminds me of Harry Potter
Violet- I love
Melody not keen on but I had a doll named it as a child so maybe that's why
Maisie I love but not sure what a adult would be like called Maisie, more a child's name
Zara- I love as you don't hear it much these days

MorbidMuch · 09/06/2020 22:42
  1. Maisie
  2. Violet
  3. Zara
  4. Hermione

Sittingontheveranda · 10/06/2020 03:46

Hermione and Zara are my favourites.
I'm not keen on the others. I dislike Violet and Maisie. I have never known an actual person with the name Melody. Its ok. I think it will be shortened to Mel though.

Mumma4262 · 10/06/2020 07:33

I think Violet is the most beautiful.

We are calling DD Violet. It is popular but I have only ever “known of” one Violet in my area, so that doesn’t put me off.

captainraymondholt · 10/06/2020 09:30

Hermione - lovely. Yes it will be associated with HP but she was a pretty good character to be named after - strong, clever, independent.
Violet - lovely. Well known without being hugely popular
Melody - not keen at all. Elodie is much prettier.
Maisie - not keen. Too many of them.
Zara - it's ok. I think of the shop. Cara is nicer in my view.

I would go with Hermione or Violet.

OnABeachSomewhere · 10/06/2020 09:34

Hermione - like but too HP
Violet - OK
Melody - like
Maisie - like
Zara - like

Either Melody or Maisie would be refreshing and quirky, with Violet as middle name.

Pleasenodont · 10/06/2020 12:51

I like Violet. Hermione is obviously always going to get the HP connection, that is not going to go away any time soon. Not keen on the others.

sundowners · 10/06/2020 13:33

Violet wasn't even in top 50 in last 5 years, how is that too popular? Its beautiful and by far IMO the nicest of your names x

Regularsizedrudy · 10/06/2020 13:36

I love them all except Maisie, as I feel it won’t ‘grow’ with them if that makes sense?

gracex4 · 10/06/2020 13:38

I have a Maisie and I love it. I'm the opposite to every one else as I had a granny Maisie (dads mum) so I thought it was an old name when she passed away just before she was born I had to have it.
Maisie grace

Zara is my favourite.
