Opinions On These Names?

Just want to get some opinions on these girl names. I'll post boy names separately to keep this shorter.

River - I think I prefer it for a girl.
Sunny
Indiana
Sabrina
Quinn
Joely - Like Holy, but with a J.
Avery
Luna / Lena

I love Hazel, Ivy and Mila but I think they are becoming to popular now? I also love Penelope but don't like Nellie or Penny so I don't think I'll be able to use it.

I know a boy called Avery so that was my initial thought...

The other names seem too popular apart from Sabrina Altho u may get a lot of witch jokes but it's a nice name

rosesareredxxx · 24/11/2020 20:43

I love the name Penelope but as it's long it prob will end up getting shortened

DappledThings · 25/11/2020 07:32

Not Quinn. It's too close to quim. Makes me think of that every time I see it is as a name or those Quinny buggies.

River - Love it
Sunny - more boys name
Indiana - really like but nn might end up as Anna?
Sabrina - meh reminds me of 90’s teenage witch
Quinn - like
Joely - Cute
Avery - too popular
Luna / Lena - love Luna

I love Hazel - love
Ivy and Mila - meh

@Namechangedforthisoct2 For Indiana, it would be Indi. Thank you for your input. Smile

@rosesareredxxx I agree, unfortunately. Sad

I like Sabrina. Luna is nice too.

I also really like Hazel and Penelope. Ivy is all right but I don't quite love it as much as the others. Is Mila Mee-lah or My-lah?

Namechangedforthisoct2 · 25/11/2020 10:11

@festivebug love Indi!!! That’s a fab nn!
Infact it’s now going on my girls name list (not due till June 21) ❤️

festivebug · 25/11/2020 10:22

@August20 Meel-ah, like Mila Kunis.Smile

@Namechangedforthisoct2 Aw thank you, I'm glad you like it. Congratulations! 🥰

I love all of them! Not that that's useful Haha

River - loveeee, I like it for a girl too but I think most people will associate boy. But its definitely either.
Sunny - this one is nice, but not as nice as the others.
Indiana - love this, like Indi as a nn.
Sabrina - my favourite! Such a lovely name, the more I hear it the more I love it. If I were to have any more children this would be on my list!
Quinn - DD goes to school with a girl called Quinn, it's cute but again not my favourite on your list.
Joley - this is the only one I'm not sure of, but if you like it OP go for it :)
Avery - I like this, but it does sound a bit American to me but it's nice.
Luna / Lena - much prefer Luna! This was on my list but our friend used it, so cute. But it is quite common now, in the top 20 I believe.

I also love Hazel. Really underused and sweet. I love ivy too but again quite common now.

I think they are all great OP :)

S111n20 · 25/11/2020 10:35

I love River and Luna

steppemum · 25/11/2020 10:37

hmm, really not keen.

really dislike Sunny and Quinn.

whatausername · 25/11/2020 12:03

I would really not like to be called Sunny which is one of my yardsticks for narrowing down name lists. I once knew of a Sunshine who had the angriest, most combative mother 😂

CaffiSaliMali · 25/11/2020 13:05

My parents used to know a child called Sunshine too Whatausername. I wonder if it was the same one!

AdelaMia · 25/11/2020 13:46

The only one I like is Lena 😳

festivebug · 26/11/2020 04:07

@micc thank you!

@whatausername I think Sunny is off the list now. Sunshine is quite out there. Grin

PoodleMoth · 27/11/2020 15:46

Love Sabrina!

Doublebubblebubble · 27/11/2020 16:58

River will always be a boys name for me that being said I really like Joely.

Joely Quinn would be nice too.

Best of luck OP

Hyperion100 · 27/11/2020 17:04

You really can just make up names these days!

LemonsYellow · 27/11/2020 21:49

Sabrina and Joely are nice.
None of the others.

festivebug · 28/11/2020 05:42

@Hyperion100 All names are made up, but none of these names are super unique, so I'm not sure why you'd say that.
