Final three girl names

[RouxLou]

Baby is due in May, gender unknown but pretty sold on a boys name. Please could I have your opinions on these names for a girl;

.Effie
.Marlow
.Noa

Really like Marlow but not too keen on it being shortened to Marlie/Marley.

TIA

Not Effie from about year 5 she will be called Effie Nell. Marlow and Noa aren't really my sort of names but I prefer Marlow.

Love all these! My friend has little Noa! I know a woman called Effie whose about 50. My fave jn order are probably

Effie
Marlow
Noa

I have an Effie so that obviously wins for me! My friend has a Noa and I love it! Although when talking about her she often clarifies she’s a girl so that’s something to consider. Marlow seems very different in style.

Thank you for all your thoughts and opinions, it’s really helpful! Unfortunately partner has definitely ruled out Noa so it’s between Effie, Marlow or Winter (our previous front runner that I for some reason lost interest in and now has popped up again) :)

If you go for Effie you won’t regret it😉 and for what it’s worth, despite Mumsnet assuring you otherwise, she has never had any ‘eff off’ comments or being asked about Skins. Winter is also lovely though.

These are all lovely and unusual but not ‘weird’ names. Kate Lawler has just called her wee girl Noa spelt the same way and I love it. Really like Effie too. I don’t know whether the popularity of Noah for a boy would put me off Noa. Think I’d maybe sway towards Effie for that reason

Noa is such a cool name for a girl, also has real name credentials. Marlow is awful, sorry, not as bad as Harlow though which I heard recently. Agree that Effie is cute but only as a nickname for something else.

Sorry OP I just saw your last update. In that case Winter is nice, she could have Winnie for short.

Nice ideas how about Marla, Mallorie, Marnie, Nova, Nora, Stephanie/Persephone/Josephine, nn Effie, Elsie

Effie by elimination, can't get behind the other two, sorry.

I have an Effie, a pet name for Elizabeth.
