Anyone like to pick one of my names?

[girlsnamesarehard]

Thoughts on my shortlist please? Dp only likes one or two which aren't my favourites.

Ada
Agnes
Elizabeth / Betty / Eliza
Eleanor
Isobel / Isa

Isobel (but I'd spell it Isabel, especially if you're planning to shorten it to Isa, I don't like the O spelling).

Or Elizabeth.

I love both those names and they both have the same meaning. Lots of options for nicknames, which I also love.

Elizabeth/Eliza

Eleanor.

Eleanor

Love Ada
Love Elizabeth (but prefer Libby or Beth to Eliza or Betty)
Like Isabel
Eleanor is ok
Not keen on Agnes

Eleanor

Agnes

Ada

Isobel! I love this spelling so so much 🥰💜

Coolest person i know is called Agnes so thats a yes, also really like Ada and Elizabeth...not too keen on the others as soo popular ...how about Elspeth as something in the same vein....

Betty with Elizabeth on the bc

I like Eliza (not Elizabeth), Ada and Isobel.

Use Eleanor on my behalf because I regret not doing!
I also love Ada.

Agnes

Ada

Eleanor, Eliza or Elizabeth.

Ada - love
Agnes - bit dowdy
Elizabeth / Betty / Eliza - ok, like Beth as a nn
Eleanor - lovr
Isobel / Isa - Isobel is nice

You might also like Isla, Elise, Iona, Esme, Ava, Annabel, Ailsa or Anya.

Elizabeth is my favourite from your list

My choice would probably be Eleanor but I like them all apart from Agnes (I know it's trendy/cool now but it has quite a harsh sound to me).

Elizabeth and Eleanor are "can't go wrong" names - very classic and timeless (especially Elizabeth), but the wide variety of nn's stop them from feeling boring imo (my fave is Bess for Elizabeth and Nell for Eleanor).

Ada and Isobel are more difficult because they are gorgeous but less timeless/classic - Ada is currently trendy because of Peaky Blinders (plus it's similarity to Ava) and Isobel was quite popular just a few years ago (plus you will get spelling issues with Isabelle/Isabel).

How are you pronouncing Ada? I first think Adder- like the snake! If its Ayy-da, I've only seen it spelt as Aida or Ayda- but could be wrong?
Agnes- awful
Elizabeth had many more options if she chooses- Beth, Bethany, Liz, Liza etc
Eleanor- very common, but classic
Isobel- like, but not this spelling

First: Isobel, and I prefer this spelling
Second: Elizabeth nn Eliza
Third: Ada
Fourth: Eleanor
Fifth: Agnes, though I do like Agatha if that could be a contender?

Ada - no
Agnes - love this name
Elizabeth / Betty / Eliza - cant go wrong
Eleanor - v nice
Isobel / Isa - lovely

Vote Elizabeth nn Betty.
Second choice Eleanor
Dislike Ada (which I'd certainly pronounce Ay-da and unlike a pp would never think of Adder. Aida is a totally different name pronounced Eye-EE-da).

Agnes is the coolest.

Eleanor
