Alice
Emily
Lydia
Emma
Eloise
Emmeline
Anya
Kate
Maeve

They're all lovely names though and it was tricky to put them in order

I love Anya and also like Lydia. Not keen on the rest.

Alice, Emma and Kate are my favourite names.

I'm an Emma and have always loved my name

Rate my girls please...
Emma - ok
Maeve - not for me
Eloise - like
Emily - not really
Kate - ok
Anya - like
Lydia - love
Alice - like but overdone this year.
Emmeline (with the or a? I love with the e!)

In order;
Lydia
Emmaline
Kate
Eloise
Emma
Anya
Alice
Maeve.

Missed Emily off, I'd put that after Emma.

I like Kate, I have a Katherine and we call her Kathy but she's Kat to her friends now. It's very versatile.

And she's not, as someone suggested, a middle aged mum or a dinner lady. She's an achingly cool 20 year old Art student! The name is timeless!

Emma - ok
Maeve - really don't like
Eloise - like
Emily - dull
Kate - ok but prefer Katie
Anya - like
Lydia - like
Alice - like
Emmaline - seems a bit made up, like you have tried to jazz up the name Emma
Just my opinion.

Love Emma and Emily
Prefer Katie to Kate.
Alice also very pretty and so is Sophie.
Also love Elizabeth xx

Emma - a nice classic, bit dull
Maeve - I like this
Eloise - pretty, feels current
Emily - a nice classic, bit dull
Kate - another nice classic, I would use Katharine on BC - feels ripe for a revival
Anya - I love this, simple, pretty and has an international feel (Anna, Annie and Ann also nice)
Lydia - pretty and not overly common
Alice - I have the Welsh version, Alys, on my list so can't criticise this one
Emmeline - nice, makes me think of the suffragette

Anya is my favourite (on the grounds that I prefer the Alys spelling of Alice). Anya hits the sweet spot of a name which feels current (short and vowel heavy), is well known, but not overused - so unusual, but without being really out there.

Alice
Anya
Emma
Kate
Emily
Lydia
Eloise
Maeve
