All lovely, very much my taste, we considered Cara but it didnt go with our surname so that would be my favourite, least favourite are probably Tara and Orla but i dont dislike them iykwim.

Mamabear20 · 29/10/2020 15:54

Thank you. Xx

Anna by a mile.

MikeUniformMike · 29/10/2020 15:56

Cara
Cora
Maeve
Anna
Elsie/Elsy
Tara
Orla

The only one ~I'd consider using is Anna, but I also like Cara and Tara. Not keen on the others and Elsy looks wrong.

sorryforswearing · 29/10/2020 15:57

Nothing wrong with the others. Just that Anna has always been one of my favourite names.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 29/10/2020 15:58

I’d settled on Maeve for my baby girl name, but I’m having a boy.

emmathedilemma · 29/10/2020 16:18

I love Anna, it's a timeless classic.
Cora, Maeve and Elsie seem to be everywhere at the moment.
None of them offend me but Anna would be my first choice.

Spied · 29/10/2020 16:20

Anna is by far my favourite.
I also like Cara.
Wouldn't use any of the others personally.

AdaColeman · 29/10/2020 16:23

Maeve, Anna and Tara are all lovely.

Elsie is my least favourite.

Whatsyourflava · 29/10/2020 16:24

These are my favourites:

Cara
Cora
Maeve
Anna
Elsie
Orla

Dislike the others but these are great

Charles11 · 29/10/2020 16:26

I like Tara the most out of all those names. They’re all lovely though.

DarkDarkNight · 29/10/2020 16:29

I like them all, particularly Cara which is nice and classic without being overly popular. I love Orla though.

Marlena1 · 29/10/2020 16:30

I like Cara, Anna, Tara and Orla the most

Oneandabean · 29/10/2020 16:32

Cora, Elsie, Maeve and Anna are lovely. Not a fan of the others.

Shayisgreat · 29/10/2020 16:35

Are you me? This is my girl name list (minus Elsie.) I love Cara and Orla. Not a fan of Elsie. Maeve and Cora are at the bottom of my favs.

Mamabear20 · 29/10/2020 16:52

Thank you all! Xx
@Shayisgreat 😂 lol

I love Elsie and Maeve but I would be a bit worried about their popularity at the moment. I think the rest of the names on your list would age well.

FreeAcorns · 29/10/2020 17:10

Cara and Cora are my favourites from your list.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/10/2020 17:42

Cora Cara and Anna

diddlediddle · 29/10/2020 17:57

Cara - ok but somehow doesn't seem special
Cora - quite like it
Maeve - quite like
Anna - fine but dull
Elsie/Elsy - really find this a weak name for a grown woman
Tara - no
Orla - nice

Sarahtops · 29/10/2020 17:58

Anna is beautiful and classic. The only one from your list I really like I'm afraid.

SocialBees · 29/10/2020 18:00

My favourites are Cara, Tara and Anna.

BarbiesBitch · 29/10/2020 18:03

Maeve, Orla or Cora

Squeakerfoot · 29/10/2020 18:04

I also like Tara, Cara and Anna. Tara and Cara both feel like known names that you actually don't come across very frequently, so I think I'd choose one of those.

Firebird83 · 29/10/2020 18:36

Anna, definitely
