Carmen
Lucy
Maria
Susannah
Scarlett
Bridget
April

Would also like to know what you think of each name beyond a rating. What kind of girls, women do you imagine with these names? Do they suit a child, teenager and adult woman...etc

Thank you.

Carmen - cannot warm. Agree it feels very Hispanic and quite dated
Lucy - unfussy, classic, light (in terms of meaning and it feels light!)
Maria - very underused and would be so refreshing to see. I actually like Mia as a nickname for Maria.
Susannah - lovely,
Susannah - again underused and many wonderful nickname possibilities (Zanna being my favourite).
Scarlett - O'Hara, or a little bit 2000s for me
Not keen. Scarlett woman/scarlett letter, likely to be nicknamed scar.
Bridget - Irish, u assuming and cheerful name. Very associated with Bridget Jones though I suspect
April - like a lot, also Avril. I do feel she'd get questions about when her birthday is, which may get frustrating.
Louisa - adore this. An underused and elegant Jane Austen classic
Sasha - boys nickname for Alexander for me

My favourites are (in order) Louisa, Lucy, Susannah, April and Maria.

Carmen: don't mind this but it's flamboyant and won't suit every personality type.
Lucy: fine, a bit boring.
Maria: nice name no strong feelings either way.
Susannah: love this but are you ok with it being shortened to Sue/Susie?
Scarlett: not my favourite.
Bridget: loathe it!
April: pretty name.

Carmen - i don't like this
Lucy - sweet
Maria - also sweet! Could seem cool or frumpy depending on the bearer.
Susannah - okay, this name reminds me of a mousey girl
Scarlett - sassy, pretty, cool
Bridget - a little dated but... I also kind of like it? I think? I am confused by it.
April - fresh and sweet

Maybe i do like Carmen. I have just sat there whispering it to myself for a while like a weirdo and now i think maybe i love it?
