We are stuck (girls)

[Herewegoagain4]

I posted yesterday regarding Rosie or Clara for dd, were just not 100% sure on them so thought I'd ask for advice regarding the rest of our list, its seems we just can't make a decision?

Rosie
Clara
Anna
Alice
Isabel
Anya
Thea

Rosie - I prefer Rose
Clara - not a fan
Anna - classic nice
Alice - like
Isabel - my fav
Anya - not keen
Thea - not keen

Clara is my favourite, I think it’s a really pretty name.

Clara or Thea would be my choice.

I really love Anna. It’s my strong favourite, but all your names are nice.

Rosalie rather than Rosie.
I like Clara but it sounds odd in some accents (friend's pronunciation is more Claire-a)
I like Anna but the others wouldn't be on my list.
Thalia?
Prefer Isabella

Rosie - ok
Clara - don't like
Anna - like
Alice - would use
Isabel - overpopular but nice. Don't like Izzy.
Anya - ok but much prefer Anna
Thea - don't like

Clara sounds classy and pretty. That’s my favourite from your list.

I used to love Isabel but I know 5 Isabel’s (well) and I have become very bored of it.

Thea I used to like but again, I know two, well and 2 in dds class so feel similarly about that name.

Really not a fan of Anya.

Rosie, I know two, they are dogs (as in canine).

Good luck with name search, it’s a minefield.

They're all nice, although to me Rosie is a pet's name. My favourites are Thea, Anya, Isabel and Anna.

Thea and Clara are beautiful.
Anya is lovely.
Anna and Alice are very nice.
Isabel is over used.
I don't like Rosie.

Anna

Rosie - prefer as a nn for rose etc as bit little girl on its own
Clara - popular but lovely
Anna - lovely, classic, underused
Alice - nice but a lot of them, bit little girl
Isabel. - lovely but a lot of them
Anya - OK, not as nice as Anna
Thea - nothing-y

Rosie and Anna are my favourites from your list. Love Anna.

Clara’s so popular now and I don’t understand why, I always think it sounds a bit clunky.

Anna, definitely. I agree Clara sounds a bit clunky. I find the KHLAR sound quite harsh.

Wow, I much prefer the rest of your list to Rosie (or even the lovely Clara - which is still part of the "old- lady" trend resurgence - like Ada, Mabel, Florence, Evelyn, Iris etc)

1. Rosie - a cute nn
2. Clara - very pretty but a bit trendy at the moment
3. Anna - gorgeous classic, simple, elegant, international - perfect!
4. Alice - English classic, suits all ages, can't really go wrong
5. Isabel - beautiful, classic and elegant (just a shame there are lots of similar Isabelle's/Isabella's at the moment)
6. Anya - quirky and fun (but you can use this as a nn/pet name for Anna?)
7. Thea - lovely and classical but could have pronounciation issues

Rosie - don’t like this. Sounds too sweetie. Go with a full name like Rosemary or Rosalind and shorten to Rosie maybe.
Clara - like
Anna - beautiful
Alice - classic
Isabel - too many around and I dislike Izzy
Anya - most unusual of your list. Like
Thea - like

Thea is my fave.

Alice and Anna are my favourites, both non-fussy classical timeless gorgeous names.
I also really like Clara.

Anya and Isabel are ok - I prefer Isobel but know a lot of little Izzys.
Rosie is lovely, but as a nickname for Rose, Rosa, Rosita, Rosina, Rosalie.
Thea I don't see the appeal in sorry - I find it quite "of the moment".

Rosie - It's okay
Clara - It's nice, but I don't get MN's obsession with it lately
Anna - Like
Alice - Not too bad
Isabel - Don't like. So overused.
Anya - It's okay
Thea - Don't like

Rosie quite nice
Clara ok not personally keen
Anna ok
Alice nice
Isabel nice
Anya ok
Thea don't like

Anna
Clara
Isobel
Alice

Any of those are fab choices.

Anna & Clara being my favourite two

Rosanna?

Clara or Anya

Every one of your names is lovely, usable and modern but also timeless, so I can see why you're finding it hard! Can you cross off any for not sounding great with your surname?

Rosie - sweet, characterful, accessible.
Clara - I prefer the more unusual Clair-ah pronunciation. Generally a well-liked, sophisticated name but the usual pronunciation sounds hard to me.
Anna - strong and classic, one of my favourites.
Alice - classic but sweeter, gentler feel than Anna.
Isabel - feisty, characterful. The popularity would put me off a little though.
Anya - sophisticated but accessible. Not over-used.
Thea - gentle, ethereal sounds. Interesting, but I prefer stronger sounds.

My favourites are Anna, Anya, Rosie and Alice.
