Help with baby names for a girl!

[upsidedown1987]

Morning, thoughts on my shortlist for a baby girl. I'd like something not too common and not too pretty pretty.

Vera
Alma
Thalia
Esme pr Ez-me
Carys
Beth
Fern

Thanks!

I love Beth and fern, esme is pretty but only ever heard it pronounced es-may, it’s also very popular. Carys is ok not keen on the others

Not a fan of your shortlist, not horrible we just have different tastes! If I had to choose it would be Fern.

Ruby
Imogen

Esme . I have an Esme. She’s an Ez-mee. Sometimes when someone has only seen it written down they ask which way it’s pronounced. Occasionally people have guessed and used Ez-may - we just correct them. Never had any issues with people pronouncing it once they have heard her name. It was number 43 last year I believe.

I really love Vera Carys and Fern. All beautiful and I couldn't pick between them.

Esme
Carys
Beth and
Fern

are all lovely. Vera is pretty awful.

Carys is my favourite from your list, lovely and fits your criteria well.
I don't mind Esme, but you'll find there are 2 pronunciations - it's pronounced Ez-may in my area.
Beth and Fern are okay.
I'm not keen on Vera and Alma. Thalia (spelt generally Talia around me) was very popular in the 1990s, so feels a bit dated to me.
I love Iris, not so keen on Hazel.

Esme is such a beautiful name
I know a young Carys and love the name

Cassie
Wren
Lauren
Eve

Love Carys

Fern or Esme would be my second choices.

I like Fern it's pretty but not frilly.

Ellen
Rowena
Tessa
Una
Enid
Sylvie
Pippa
Amy
Simona
Delia
Julia
Lauren
Caitlin
Erin
Verity
Noelle

I have a young Alma, so I love it! We wanted a name that would work in different European countries (I’m not British). To me, it sounds sophisticated, serene, not frilly. It’s a super popular name in Scandinavian countries. Love Vita too!
