I’m obsessed with the name Astrid at the moment. Since I heard it in a TV show. It’s really lovely and it means something like “divinely beautiful”.

I don’t personally like the other 5. But not awful names.

Romilly is the only one I really don't like. I have to admit to not understanding its popularity.

Cara is my stand-out favourite. Simple, classy, elegant, sweet, nice meaning, international, travels well, suits any age.

Astrid - harsh unless spoken in a Scandinavian accent with a soft d
Romilly - OK

Cara - love

Lucy
Aster

I suggest Clara as it would be the best if on you're list :)

DamitJanet · 06/09/2020 19:15

Romilly is my favourite from your list.

@PeaceAndHarmoneeee

I like them all apart from Flora.

How about
Cora
Celeste
Clara
Nina
Annaliese
Stella
Naomi

Yes I really like Stella (and Estelle). DD1 is Annaliese. I like Nina but DH is a police officer so the "Nee-naw" connection might be too amusing.

Nice list!
Astrid - I'm not keen on this one. For some reason I find it a bit harsh
Romilly - also not keen on this one, the ones I've met have been very rough so that probably puts me off unfairly
Camilla - love this, I don't think it's too Parker-Bowles personally
Flora - like a lot
Zara - like a lot
Cara - love this one too.

How about:
Miranda
Meredith
Cordelia
Cecilia
Cecily
Tabitha
Susannah
Rowena
Clarissa

which I think have a similar feel?
