All lovely!

EssentialHummus · 02/05/2021 20:50

All lovely! I like Ellen least and Imogen most but there's not a huge amount in it.

Bobbiepin · 02/05/2021 20:51

Cassie & Elise are gorgeous

Bobbiepin · 02/05/2021 20:52

Although Lucy and elise is a bit of a mouthful. Lucy & Cassie goes much better together

InsideNumberNine · 02/05/2021 20:52

Cassie or Charlotte

cptartapp · 02/05/2021 20:53

Love Eloise and Elise. (Also love Louisa although it's not listed!)
Not keen on Annabel (too girly ) or Ellen
The rest are nice enough.

Chunkymenrock · 02/05/2021 20:53

Cassie is lovely but I slightly prefer Cassia. Imogen nice, not keen on the others though.

lakeswimmer · 02/05/2021 20:55

Annabel and Imogen are my favourites.

RichPetunia · 02/05/2021 20:55

Definitely Charlotte.
I know a few dogs called Cassie so not that.
Ellen’s too ‘old’.
Annabel reminds me of the horror movie.

MotherOfGodWeeFella · 02/05/2021 20:55

Cassia is a spice!

Angel2702 · 02/05/2021 20:57

I like Ellen

CoffeeRunner · 02/05/2021 20:58

Eloise is my favourite.

Really don't like Imogen at all. Very harsh sounding to me.

SomeCatsLikeCheese · 02/05/2021 21:01

They’re all nice but I think Eloise has too many of the same sounds as Lucy - “Lucy and Eloise” sounds a bit of a mouthful. Otherwise, they’re all really nice names. My favourites would probably be Charlotte, Annabel, Imogen and Madeline.

AnyaMoondial · 02/05/2021 21:01

Ellen is my favourite.

MooseMoose · 02/05/2021 21:02

Ellen - not keen, I like the Welsh Elin, or Eleanor, Elena...
Charlotte - bit dull
Annabel - nice
Imogen - love
Eloise - quite nice
Cassie - bit frilly
Elise - quite nice
Madeline - nice

schoolrun30 · 02/05/2021 22:38

We have similar taste! Lovely names. Smile

Tillygetsit · 02/05/2021 22:52

I'm biased as I have a Cassia. It actually means bark of a cinnamon tree.

Edenember · 02/05/2021 22:54

Imogen is my favourite and goes perfectly with Lucy. Second favourite is Eloise.

Starryskiesinthesky · 02/05/2021 22:57

I’m not keen on Imogen or Annabel - too posh. Love Ellen and Madeline from your other choices.

Ikeameatballs · 02/05/2021 23:00

Imogen is my favourite.

Chilldonaldchill · 02/05/2021 23:06

Ellen - lovely. Not popular but well known, classical and fits very well with Lucy.
Charlotte - lovely as well. More popular than Ellen obviously but a popular name for a good reason. Again goes well with Lucy.
Annabel - ok. I prefer Anna.
Imogen - my favourite of your names. Classic but a little sassier than Ellen or Charlotte. Lucy and Imogen is a "cool" sibset imo whereas the others are very safe.
Eloise - don't like at all
Cassie - I like this as a nn but not as a given name. Cassia or Clarissa are both nice though
Elise - don't like at all. I'm old enough just to think of the car
Madeline - ok. This is with Annabel for me. Ok but a bit meh.

Onlinedilema · 03/05/2021 05:41

Ellen- nice but will get Helen
Charlotte- great classic timeless name Annabel-- lovely name
Imogen- a bit more out there, nice name
Eloise- love this name
Cassie - I don’t know any but really like it, more unusual than Lucy , I think Lucy is boring compared to Cassie
Elsie- I know it’s very on trend but I don’t like it.
Madeleine- a bit outdated to my ears.

danascully96 · 03/05/2021 05:49

With sister Lucy, my favorite is Charlotte 💖

Ellen: Not a fan. It’s dated to me.
Charlotte: Gorgeous
Annabel: Prefer Anna. Annabel is a bit too sugary.
Imogen: Nice enough, but I don’t think it goes with Lucy and I’m just not wild about it.
Eloise: Theoretically nice, but I’m not sure if it works on a person. Prefer Louisa!
Cassie: Not a fan. Prefer Cassia.
Elise: Lovely, but a bit of a tongue-twister with Lucy.
Madeline: She’ll be nn’d Maddie, which I dislike. Prefer Caroline.

Imogen or Madeline

Nice bunch of names

Amielondon23 · 03/05/2021 07:07

Ellen- don’t like, reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres who is not a very nice person
Charlotte- love, classic! Love the shortened Lottie
Annabel- really like
Imogen- really like- Immy for short
Eloise- love
Cassie- don’t like - I work in the pet industry and I know too many dogs called Cassie
Elise- ok
Madeline- ok- I cant help but think of poor maddie McCann when I hear this name so I probably wouldn’t use it
