I've recently found out I'm pregnant and these two names are in my mind.

Juliet (spelt this more popular way unless you are French speaking) is gorgeous, elegant and underused. Eden is a different style but pretty in a kind of hippy/arty way. Adriana is exotic, possibly a little frilly, but a beautiful name. Celeste is okay - although I prefer similar Celia or Selena (more classical/elegant imo). I'm less keen on your other choices, sorry.

Fallon sounds a bit Dallas to me.

Celeste (or Celestine) - pretty
Shannon - OK but a bit dated
Juliette - prefer Juliet
Arden - forest, not a girl's name
Eden - unusual but nice
Dixie - too close to dicks

Celeste. I like the nn CeCe.

mammmamia · 21/03/2021 20:16

Celeste, Cece is nice as NN too

RuthW · 21/03/2021 20:17

You can't call her after the pill.

Shannon is fine but very 90s

Ijustlikedthename · 21/03/2021 20:20

Love Adriana

Iwant2move · 21/03/2021 20:21

Neither.

Springfern · 21/03/2021 20:23

I really like Shannon, although it was quite trashy a few years ago enough time has passed for it to have lost that association. It's pretty and quite uncommon now

Springfern · 21/03/2021 20:23

I also like Lisa for the above reasons

percheron67 · 21/03/2021 20:24

think of Shannon Matthews.

FoofOfTheWalkingDead · 21/03/2021 20:24

Fallon, Arden, Eden, Seren and Adriana are all lovely names.
Shannon, Celeste or Dixie, not so much.

Authenticchicken · 21/03/2021 20:25

Celeste is lovely. Reminds me of Babar.

I like Juliet too.

DramaAlpaca · 21/03/2021 20:28

Celeste is beautiful, very elegant. I'm not keen on Shannon as a name.

I live in Ireland, somewhere not far from the river Shannon, and I don't associate it with anything 'trashy'. It's either the river or Shannon Airport to me. Which is probably why it's not used much as a first name over here.

legohouse · 21/03/2021 20:29

Celeste... because she is musical wonder, her voice is beautiful

Murtaghjames · 21/03/2021 20:30

@FoofOfTheWalkingDead, I agree, they were the names I originally liked, the others were recent and possibly baby brain

Juliet is such a beautiful classic.

Abracadabra12345 · 21/03/2021 20:32

I love Juliette. Definitely not dull

lockdownbreakdown · 21/03/2021 20:34

Juliette is beautiful!

crystalcherry87 · 21/03/2021 20:34

I love Celeste

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 21/03/2021 20:35

Those two names are like mangos and turnips Confused

My vote is for Celeste.

RedcurrantPuff · 21/03/2021 20:36

Celeste

Shannon is terrible

EileenGC · 21/03/2021 20:38

Celeste and Juliette are lovely. Adriana and Seren are also really nice.

Amdone123 · 21/03/2021 20:42
