I don't really like Reenie. I think I prefer Rainey.

I would choose Edith/Edie from your selection ☺️

Sylvie and Edith are nice. Don't like Reenie, never heard of it before but it reminds me of Renal.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 16/10/2020 19:06

I like Sylvie, not so keen on Edie and I've only heard of Reenie as a nickname for Irene so I'd use that instead.

AdaColeman · 16/10/2020 19:10

Thanks everyone! My other half also likes Joanie but I'm not so sure 🙈

Sylvie and Edith (not Edie as it’s too close to Evie). Or what about Enid?
Reenie is just weird sorry.

missyB1 · 16/10/2020 19:14

Oooh love Joanie!

Carrotcakey · 16/10/2020 19:16

Sylvie is nice.
Edie is super popular right now.
Reenie I don’t like at all.

Joanie is lovely. I like Jeannie too. Cecelia is lovely too and in the same vein.

I like Sylvie or Joanie best. I know a two year old Joni.

Garcellesaidwhaaat · 16/10/2020 19:23

Yes to Joanie.

Enko · 16/10/2020 19:24

Sylvie is cute

Crunchymum · 16/10/2020 21:24

I'd spell Reene as Rene.

It's usually short for Irene.

Sylvie is lovely.

AcrobaticCardigan · 16/10/2020 21:27

Sylvie is gorgeous!

Lemonsyellow · 16/10/2020 21:50

Edith. But not Edie.
Sylvie is OK but Sylvia is much better.
Reenie is a bit odd. Irene is quite nice.

Auto · 16/10/2020 21:57

I agree with Lemon on Sylvia.

Edith/Edie is quite nice.

I love both Sylvie and Edith/Edie - gorgeous names. I think Reenie is sweet as a nickname for an Irene, or another reen ending name. I don't mind Joanie, but prefer Sylvie and Edith/Edie.

PoodleMoth · 17/10/2020 09:29

I know a Joanie a Sylvie and an Edie, the only one to my taste is Edie but I haven't heard any negatives in real life towards the other 2!

AriesTheRam · 17/10/2020 09:33

Sylvie is beautiful

WettnWild · 17/10/2020 09:44

I like Sylvie the best, no obvious shortenings which is always a bonus.
Joanie will get shortened to Jo which is meh.
Reenie will get called Rennie.

RuthW · 17/10/2020 10:16

Edith is the best from the list.

Reenie is usually spelt Rene.

Thank you! I think Sylvie is winning for me at the min!

Joanie definitely, but Jeannie is nice too.

Renee is quite nice and can be pr. Renay or Reeny.

Whatsyourflava · 17/10/2020 16:14

Love Edith and Sylvie
Slight preference for Edith as so many names seem to end "ie" at the moment
