I like Romilly but not Milly, if that doesn't bug you then no worries. I know an Aoife who's great.

Love Imogen!!!

Imogen - Pretty name but also sounds strong.*
Eloise - Not a fan of Eloise.
Rosa - Such a beautiful name!
Beatrice - One of my favourite names.
Cassia - I don't hate it but don't like it either...
Ariadne - Whilst it looks pretty I'm not actually sure how to pronounce it?
Romilly - Never heard of it but is really pretty!
Elowen - To me it sounds like a baby trying to talk, sorry.
Orla - Gorgeous!
Rosalind - I love Rosa but dislike Rosalind.
Aoife - I have no idea how this is pronounced but I see it a lot online so I assume it's just not common where I live?
Josephine - I really don't like Josephine. Sounds equivalent to a Karen to me... Grin
Allegra* - I used to not like this name but now I love it.

Suggestions:
Elena
Rosemary
Beatrix
Penelope
Aria
Mila
Josie / Josey
Sofia

I love Beatrice, Ariadne, Orla and Aoife

ZebraKid71 · 27/08/2020 17:17

I love Cassia and Ariadne. Your list is very similar to mine, with the exception of Imogen, it's nice but very popular in my area at the moment.

namenerd · 27/08/2020 23:58

I absolutely adore Eloise, Cassie and Romilly!

I like Josephine but personally prefer Josephina and similarly I like Rosalind but prefer Rosalina and prefer Beatrix to Beatrice. We clearly have very similar taste :)

My suggestions are Eleanor, Cecily, Evangeline, Maeva, Cara,
Shauna and Nessa.

namenerd · 27/08/2020 23:58

*I meant Cassia- it autocorrected!

SleepingStandingUp · 28/08/2020 00:04

Imogen love
Eloise really like
Rosa really like
Beatrice love bit prefer Beatrix
Cassia really cute
Ariadne love
Romilly no
Elowen love
Orla no
Rosalind no
Aoife only if you're in Ireland, otherwise lifetime of pronunciation issues
Josephine (Posy) no
Allegra car. No.

Leilani?
Ariana?
