Comments on our girls list please

[Hmmm136]

Here’s our (long) shortlist. Grateful for any thoughts.

Adelaide
Alexandra
Alice
Estella
Georgia
Juliet
Lauren
Lois
Lydia
Verity

Adelaide - no
Alexandra - beautiful
Alice - lovely
Estella - no
Georgia - ok
Juliet - absolutely love it
Lauren - v nice
Lois - no
Lydia - lovely
Verity - no, because I know a not nice one

Five if those names, or derivites I have used. You have very good taste op. Alice takes its root from adelheid (adelaide). DS2 was Alexander Louis.

1. Adelaide - nice enough but prefer similar Adeline (so no risk of "laid" jokes)
2. Alexandra - okay, quite classic but prefer the sound of Alexandria

5.Alice -quite popular but a very classic/timeless, can't go wrong name

1. Estella- lovely, elegant and underused
2. Georgia - feels slightly 90's, prefer Georgiana
3. Juliet - beautiful, elegant and underused

10.Lauren - feels slightly 90's, much prefer classic Laura

1. Lois - it's okay, but not a fave (much prefer Iris)

3.Lydia - very nice, classic feeling, but not too popular 4.Verity - pretty, love the meaning

I like all your list with the exception of Georgia, Lauren and Verity.

Favourite for me is Verity

I like Alice and Juliet.

Juliet is such a beautiful name.

Adelaide - love it
Alexandra - due a revival. Love Lexie as nn
Alice - lovely but increasingly popular
Estella - awful
Georgia - ok but letter Georgiana
Juliet - underused, pretty
Lauren - meh
Lois - not keen
Lydia - not keen
Verity - ok

Adelaide - vintage in a cool way, I think we will see mlre Adelaide's about soon
Alexandra - okay, strong but a little dull
Alice - pretty but a little dull
Estella - I like it, but I prefer Stella
Georgia - I think a bit dated
Juliet - very pretty and classy
Lauren - very dated
Lois -very dated
Lydia - very nice, due a come back
Verity - I don't like this but nothing wrong with it. I just don't like the sound. Reminds me of ferrets.

Thanks for all the comments. Really helping get my thinking straight. Leaning towards Lydia, Juliet and Alexandra (but not sure about Alex...)

Juliet is my favourite and I also like Lydia, Verity, Alexandra and Alice.

Which pronunciation of Lois? The English Low-iss or the Welsh Loyce?

Love Adelaide and Lydia.

Juliet the bear by far
Beautiful

Georgia is my favourite

The only one I really love is Alexandra. I quite like Adelaide and Lydia though.

Georiga and Alice are ok. Lauren seems a bit dated. You could have pronounciation issues with Lois.

Not really a fan of the rest.

Adelaide - Guys and Dolls chic, cute nn of Addie (tho drug ref), but the sound is kind of . . . 50s librarian-esque and I’m just not keen, but I can also see it belonging to a beautiful woman despite its quirkiness
Alexandra - harsh, long, and nice
Alice - frumpy, but cool namesake
Estella - I prefer Stella
Georgia - lush, but terribly rough in some accents
Juliet - nice, vastly prefer Julia
Lauren - vastly prefer Laura, but it’s OK, if not drippy
Lois - frumpy, frumpy... and frumpy
Lydia - annoying character, rhymes with chlamydia, but nice sound
Verity - No! Rhymes with “ferrets.”

Adelaide - not keen
Alexandra - it’s okay, will inevitably be Alex
Alice - Nice
Estella - dislike
Georgia - LOVE!
Juliet - lovely. I also love Jules as a nn
Lauren - dated to my ears (sorry!)
Lois - I like it
Lydia - nice
Verity - not my cup of tea at all

I think I’d go for Georgia or Juliet (Jules) from your list personally

Adelaide - don't like
Alexandra - fine but a bit long. Alex or Sasha ok as nn
Alice - I would choose this
Estella - not keen
Georgia - fine
Juliet - I don't like Jules, so no
Lauren - yuk
Lois - ok
Lydia - Lyds, so a no.
Verity - not keen. Too much like Ferrety

I think you can call her Alexandra and shorten it to something else. I like Ally, but there's also Lexie or Sasha etc. She might decide she likes Alex when she's older, but that's what I think is nice about a name with lots of options. She can have some say in what she is called, when she is old enough to have strong feelings about it.

I love, love, love Adelaide but my brother lives there so I can't use it!
Juliet and and Lydia are also beautiful. I'm not too pushed about the rest but they are all nice.

Adelaide - a bit harsh sounding
Alexandra - great name, classic, strong yet feminine, lots of nn options - Allie is pretty
Alice - a bit limp
Estella - a bit prissy
Georgia - maybe starting to date a bit
Juliet - lovely
Lauren - nice but already dated
Lois - not sure
Lydia - beautiful
Verity - nice

I would go for Alexandra, I think. Perhaps with Juliet as a middle name, I think that would flow beautifully.

Juliet is the standout one for me

Adelaide - beautiful, can be shortened to Addy (so make sure you like that too)
Alexandra - stunning, but can/will be shortened to Alex - I wouldn't pick this name for my DD because I don't like Alex for a girl.
Alice - classic, simple
Estella - similar to the beer brand and sounds harsh
Georgia - easy name, don't like personally
Juliet - strong name, sweet
Lauren - pretty, not as popular as it used to be - in a good way. I prefer Laura but still v nice
Lois - dislike, find it a bit boyish for some reason
Lydia - clamidya
Verity - I have always disliked. Not sure why. Maybe the ity sound and seriousness

For those saying Jules as a nn for Juliet, it’s could be Ettie or Jet as it is in our family
