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

Betty

Ada - don't like
Agnes - sort of like it, sort of don't
Elizabeth / Betty / Eliza - fine
Eleanor - a bit boring but ok
Isobel / Isa - no

I like them all except for Ada.

Elizabeth, Eleanor and Isabel/Isobel are my favourites and I have a daughter with one of those names.

Order:

Agnes - love it, not overused, very cool!
Elizabeth - love it, very popular though - but lots of nn options - I would deffo call her Elizabeth and use Eliza or whatever you want as a nn
Eleanor - lovely but done to death
Isobel/Isabella - lovely but done to death
Ada - nothing wrong with it, I just don’t like it - Adela is lovely though

Love Agnes!!

Safer option would be Elizabeth with Betty / Eliza / whatever. Still some cool shortenings but if she turns out to be fairly girly, or wants a more anonymous sort of name, she could be Elizabeth or Beth, Ellie etc.

Adore Elizabeth, Libby is my favourite nickname for it

Also love Isobel with that spelling

All lovely.

Elizabeth/Libby/Bet/Betty/Liza
Ada
Agnes

My favourite from your list is Eliza ☺️

But they’re all nice names!

Elizabeth and Eleanor are the best.
Not keen on Ada or Agnes.
Isobel - very popular over the last few years. NB My Nan was called this and always used to say "Is a bell necessary on a bike?!' Amused us anyway!!

Agnes by far.

Elizabeth / Betty / Eliza

I like Ada, Agnes, and Betty.

Elizabeth - but I'm biased because I am one! My parents chose it partly because it has so many shortenings available. I'm known as Lizzie, and I have to say I don't like shortenings like Beth, Betty, Liz, or Libby. Lisa is also short for Elizabeth which many people don't realise 🙂

A vote for Isobel from me

we have three Isobel, isabella's etc so might be an common name in class and she'd be known as Isobel W for example. I love Elizabeth and Ellie short for Eleanor.

Sending blessings either way.
