Nancy - 8/10 . A little twee but gorgeous. Maeve - 8/10. Beautiful, soft & strong. Rosanna - 7/10. Frillier than my taste but pretty & nostalgia points for the Toto song. Suits a little one and an adult. Clementine - 5/10 - Having a moment but objectively pretty. In my neck of the woods Clems means balls. Polly - 4/10. Any love I have is entirely down to PJ Harvey. Reminds me of plastic products - polyfilla etc. Jane - 3/10. Can’t shake the plain Jane thing. Would sound refreshing today though. Lara - 2/10 - superficial. I can’t imagine someone characterful being named this. I realise this is daft. Cherry - 2/10 - cute but not on a grown-up. Also strippers. Wendy 2/10 - redeemed slightly due to Peter Pan but other than that wet (imo) Laura - 2/10 - dull. I like Sarah though so don’t necessarily listen to that. Claire - 1/10. Just don’t see anything appealing about this name. I also hear it in Cilla Blacks voice (RIP).

Cherry- 1- more a nickname to me ( of what I don't know). Cutsey.
Wendy-1- Reminds me of Peter Pan- which I love- but really the name itself is dated and just a no.
Roseanna- 8- a bit different, pretty and I love Anna so would use that on a daily basis and put Roseanna on bc.
Lara- 7- I really like it. Classic but a little common.
Polly-6- I like it. Prefer the similar Molly.
Maeve -4- no. I think it will date. Bit daddy to me.
Nancy- 3- twee
Laura- 7- I like Laura. A classic and not too popular.
Claire-0- Dated and all the ones I know ( 30s and 40s) are horrible.
Clementine- 5- old name but also having a moment now. Will date.
Jane-1- Again, a classic but very boring imo.

Nancy - 7 (really like)
Laura - 4 (basic, millennial!)
Claire - 3 (as Laura)
Clementine - 4 (fruit)

ILoveShula · 11/05/2021 15:41

Cherry - fruit
Clementine - another fruit, are you making a fruit salad?

Wendy - Don't like

Cherry 1/10 Sounds a bit downmarket
Wendy 1/10 Dated and a bit twee
Rosanna 3/10 Not great, reminds me of Rosanne. Love Rosa / Rose and Rosalie though.
Lara 5/10 Ok, but prefer Lyra, Leila or Lila
Polly 6/10 Like it, was on my list but was worried about 'Polly put the kettle on' etc.
Maeve 8/10 Lovely. Also love May.
Nancy 4/10 Bit twee
Laura 3/10 - dull, like Lorna though
Claire 2/10 super dull and dated
Clementine 5/10 quite sweet, but slightly twee
Jane - 1/10 Really boring

I'd go for Maeve - pretty name

I hate rating names bad (my DDs names get slated and I hate it) so these are my top two!
