Rate my potential baby girl names

[Geminimama88]

Just curious on people’s thoughts...

Astrid
Felicity
Imogen
Alexandra
Libby
Clara
Riley
Xanthe

I love Xanthe. I used to work with a woman of that name and she was ace.

I also love Imogen.

the only ones i would consider in your list are,

Felicity
Imogen
Alexandra

I really like Felicity, Libby and Clara.

Imogen and Alexandra are a bit meh.

Astrid and Riley sound like animal names.

Xanthe, I really don't like but can't put my finger on why.

They're all lovely except Riley 😬
Clara
Alexandra
Imogen/Astrid tie for 3rd place

It's a very nice list, apart from Riley which stands out like a sore thumb - in a bad way.

I'd have Libby as a diminutive, not a standalone name.

Hate Libby and Riley sorry!
Libby makes me think of the really annoying girl on Neighbours about 30 years ago.

Love Clara, really classic sounding.

I love
Clara

I like
Astrid
Imogen
Alexandra

Felicity and Libby are okay I guess.

I really dislike Riley and Xanthe (sorry!).

Xanthe is my favourite girls name. I wanted to use it if dc was a girl but do vetoed it. Dc was a boy anyway so didn't have to argue it out.

I don't like Imogen at all.

Astrid - dislike the 'ass' beginning, sounds hard and unpleasant
Felicity - horsey
Imogen - love
Alexandra - meh
Libby - too nicknamey
Clara - bit trendy, not keen
Riley - nope
Xanthe - ok

Clara.

Alexandra but with a great nn if you choose it... not just Alex for a girl.

I'd add Lauren. I love this name and it wasn't to be for my DC.

Thank you, DH is liking the more meh names and I would like a name that there’s not going to be many of in the class but still something thats not massively ridiculous

Yes, Riley isn’t in keeping with my usual theme but knew a really lovely Riley once and it’s just stuck in my head for years!

The only one I like is Alexandra.

@Geminimama88 I'm expecting a baby girl soon, her name is gonna be Imogen!

Astrid
Imogen
Clara

Lovely lovely names. Not so keen on the rest. Sorry.

Out of all of those I only really like Alexandra. Riley is a boys name IMO.

@tig67 Ah lovely! Congratulations! Love Imogen so much! My cousin in pregnant as well and a few weeks ahead of us and Imogen is on her list too. Did you have any other names in mind as well? Xx

I like Alexandra and Riley the most.

Xanthe is a weird one as I'm a native Greek speaker and Xanthé means blonde in Greek and is also the name of a city en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthi, so not used as a name imho

Astrid, Imogen and Xanthe are all on my list. Clara is nice too. Not keen on the rest for various reasons, Riley i really dislike by a mile, just personal taste. I can’t imagine it on a grown lady, not very elegant.

I like Alexandra a lot
I love Riley best name on list
& Imogen is ok
The rest meh with the exception of Astrid which is awful

My favourites are Alexandra and Clara. I don’t know anything about how popular names are.

I’m not keen on Libby have Neighbours association of pp. However it’s a pretty old reference- maybe Elizabeth and nn Libby?

Riley - irrational- I don’t know any people with the name but there is a fish place my way called Riley’s fish shack.

Others I don’t mind either way

All lovely except Riley and Libby.

Hahah @Horridcreature this made me laugh, we are in Sunderland and LOVE Riley’s fish shack!

X

@Horridcreature not the Riley for my inspo though, maybe time to veto Riley

I love Alexandra, Riley and Clara, in that order.

Clara is ok but quite wet.
The rest are even wetter apart from Xanthe which is the worst on the list. That just makes me think of xanthan gum.
