1.Helena..really pretty, classic, feminine but strong.

1. Alice

3.Lucia...but expect it to be shortened to Lucy. 4.Scarlett

1. Rosanna...would want to sing the song all the time

6. 7.

1. Tansy, Thea and Cicely....strongly dislike all these ones.

Cicely - like it but know a great one which helps. No3
Rosanna - 5 prefer Rosemary.
Alice - good name but ‘overused’ ? 4
Lucia -no 1 along with Lydia I like this a lot.
Scarlett - joint 6
Helena - no 2 some pronunciations issues may be a pita?
Tansy - bit ‘wet’ ? Not a strong name. Joint 6
Thea - joint 6 although I’m a bit mixed about this ranking.
Congrats and good luck op.

Alice 10 - love. Timeless classic.
Scarlett 9.5 - lovely. Suits all ages. Pretty but cool. Not too popular.
Roseanna 7.5- lovely. I'd use nn Anna- which I love.
Helena 6.5 - Pronunciation issues. Lane-a or len-a. Otherwise nice.
Cicely 6- Ok. Different although rising in popularity I think.
Thea 4 - a bit of a nothing name to me. More a sound. A bit faddy at the mo.
Lucia 3 - No
Tansy 1- Definitely No.

Cicely - I like it but prefer Cecily
Rosanna - pretty
Alice - pretty
Lucia - i like it pronounced Loo-see-uh which i know is incorrect. Don't like loo-chee-uh
Scarlett - pretty and fiesty
Helena - i like nn Nell
Tansy - prerry and rare
Thea

Oops! Forgot Thea. Which I used to love but agree with a pp that now its so popular it does seem a bit... Insubstantial. It's one of those names that would be gorgeous if rare but loses its charm when so popular.

I'd choose Alice or Tansy

Or Scarlett!

Alice is streaks ahead of the others for me.
Scarlett and Thea are both ok but seem quite popular.
Cicely - do you mean Cecily??
The others I don't like at all.

Cicely and Rosanna.

Don't like the others.

Love.
Tansy
Thea
Helena.

Neither like nor dislike
Alice
Rosanna.
Lucia

Despise
Scarlett

Also love Cicely

Of those I would only pick Helena (my middle name!) or Alice.

Cicely - I love Cecily but not quite as keen on Cicely. It might grow on me if I knew one though
Rosanna - I'm not keen
Alice - nice, safe, predictable but pretty
Lucia - I really like this but the pronunciation issues would definitely put me off
Scarlett - it's ok. I prefer it with one t.
Helena - lovely
Tansy - not at all keen
Thea - absolutely love this.

I would go for Thea, Helena or Cicely.

Cicely - nice but will get spelt Cecily which is too Cecil-y for my liking
Rosanna - nice
Alice - would use it
Lucia - Loosha, Loo-see-a or Lootcha?
Scarlett - ok
Helena - prefer Helen
Tansy - ok
Thea - don't liike

Alice, Cicely or Rosanna

Cicely - like a lot, but will get muddled with the even nicer Cecily
Rosanna - gorgeous, my favourite 'rose' name
Alice - love it, classic and simple
Lucia - OK, but prefer Lucy
Scarlett - not as classy as the above
Helena - nice, but has three possible pronunciations
Tansy - a sweet nickname, but too twee for a name in its own right. It also just autocorrected to Randy on my tablet
Thea - no, it's a horrid, nothingy, lispy name.

Cicely- -5/10
Rosanna 8/10
Alice. 4/10
Lucia. -1/10
Scarlett. 3/10
Helena. 7/10
Tansy. 8/10
Thea. 2/10

I like Tansy and Lucia best. Cicely is an awful mouthful. Not keen on Thea because I knew a horrible one. Alice, Scarlett and Roseanna are nice enough though.

In order of preference

I prefer unfussy, more traditional names. Love Helena .

I love Cicely, was on my list. Cicely Hamilton was a feminist and suffragist and I fell in love with this name when I saw it.

Lucia second favorite.

Lucia and Helena are my favourites, beautiful names!

The rest I quite like as well apart from Tansy, Scarlett, and Alice, which I'm really not keen on.

1. Cicely
2. Rosanna
3. Alice
4. Lucia
5. Scarlett
6. Helena
7. Tansy
8. Thea

In order
Rosanna ( Wanted this for dd1. Vetoed)
Alice ( Beautiful but popular)
Thea ( my dear niece number 4. Lovely girl)
Helena (pronunciation issues would sent me doolally)
Tansy (knew a lovely quirky one who was a hand and bum model!)
Scarlett ( ts get dropped and it sounds unpleasant)
Cicely (suzzling sausages)
Lucia (never met a nice Lucy)
Scarlett

Lucia

Helena or Thea

1. Helena - elegant, great history, minor irritation over varied pronunciation but can’t really go wrong
2. Rosanna - lovely but blurs with all the other Rose names
3. Lucia - not mad about it but it has spirit
4. Alice - a charming classic but way overused

1. Scarlett - I half like it but it’s gone downmarket
2. Thea - meh
3. Cicely - no - lipsy - but I would put Cecily of Cecilia at number 1
4. Tansy - no, wetter than Poppy and Lily, which is saying something.
