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.

fruitbrewhaha · 16/02/2021 21:24

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.
