I really like Anna, Emily, Juliet (love!) and kate. Anna, juIiet and Kate are such timeless names that suit little girls and adults alike.
I like Tess but for some reason I don't like Tessa, no idea why. Not that keen on the others but they are nice names.

Not keen on Lotta. But the others are very serviceable. Isabel and Emily are very popular.

I like Anna the best.

pinkandblueflowers · 16/02/2021 21:25

I like Tessa the best

Muskox · 16/02/2021 21:26

Love all your names! My favourites are Tessa, Juliet, Sophia and Anna.

Cleverpolly3 · 16/02/2021 21:32

They are all lovely
My personal favourites are
Lotta
Kate
and especially Juliet

YoniAndGuy · 16/02/2021 21:34

Anna best

Juliet next

One of those two, but hands down Anna for me

Luckingfovely · 16/02/2021 21:35

Juliet & Kate - both lovely and underused!

Onlinedilema · 16/02/2021 21:35

Isobel and Juliet for me.

sorryforswearing · 16/02/2021 21:36

I love Anna and Juliet. Also Jasmine, Rosa and Faye.

mathanxiety · 16/02/2021 21:37

Only Tessa and Juliet jump out at me from your list

DragonPoop · 16/02/2021 21:40

Anna, Tessa and Kate are my standout favourites from your list.

MarshaBradyo · 16/02/2021 21:40

I like Anna

CustardCreamm · 16/02/2021 21:40

Sophia is my favourite

Minnie6078 · 16/02/2021 21:41

See I love Lotta so sweet and a bit unusual but not to out there

Maybemay123 · 16/02/2021 21:42

Anna and Emily are my favourites.

TempsPerdu · 16/02/2021 21:56

Tessa and Juliet are the standouts for me. Also quite like Anna but it’s very popular and would look for something a bit more specific.

Standrewsschool · 16/02/2021 21:57

Love Amy and Laura.

Lotta - not heard of this before. Short for Charlotte?

Other names - all perfectly fine.

partyatthepalace · 16/02/2021 22:03

My top choices would be Anna, Kate (as long as an nn for Katharine or similar) or Tessa. All timeless classics, but not overused right now.

I also really like Sophia and Isabel but overused, quite like Emily but also overused.

Juliet and Laura are fine and not overused. Amy I don’t like, it’s just a bit girly and insignificant. Lotta I wouldn’t use as a name, fine as an nn for the (lovely but overused) Charlotte.

SelfMadeFantasist · 16/02/2021 22:15

Anna and Juliet are both great names.

Lotta has enormous potential for teasing imho.

ShelleyI83 · 16/02/2021 22:16

Juliet is lovely x

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 16/02/2021 22:32
  1. Amy - sounds a bit cute, but nothing really wrong with it
2.Anna - simple, classic, international, can't go wrong
  1. Isobel - gorgeous but spelling issues
  2. Emily - fine, just not a fave
  3. Juliet - elegant, beautiful, romantic, very underused
  4. Kate - I only like as a nn for Catherine/Katharina
  5. Laura - shame it was overused in the 80's because its a pretty, poetic feeling classic
10. Lotta - may get " lot a .." jokes, but okay as a nn for Charlotte.
  1. Sophia - lovely but so popular/trendy now
5.Tessa - nice but I prefer the simple Tess or the traditional Teresa (nn Tess), Tessa is neither one nor the other really.
Firebird83 · 17/02/2021 00:20

Anna

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 17/02/2021 01:51

Juliet seems the nicest , some of your names are a bit old fashioned, but not in the current old lady type names. Please don’t choose Kate or Katie , so so many of them .

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 17/02/2021 03:59

Love Tessa and Juliet. Like Lotta but I think it has a horrible meaning as I looked into it before. 'Manly' maybe 🤔

The others are a bit boring.

PickettWhiteFences · 17/02/2021 06:31

Tessa is my favourite by a country mile, also like Anna.

I like Isobel but spelling and pronounciation could be a pain in the arse. I was at school with both a Isabel and Isobel and they always had to emphasise the 'o' for Isobel.

Not keen on the rest, Amy, Kate and Laura seem a bit dated. Emily and Sophia have been done to death. Juliet is ok. Lotta isnt really a name is it? Makes me think of Lotto.
