Hi all. Could you please help me choose or at least narrow down my list?

In no particular order:

Alice
Emma
Anna
Emily
Lucy
Merryn
Nina
Louisa
Jane
Maria
Sophie
Sophia
Gabrielle
Charlotte
Daisy

Opinions and other suggestions welcomed. Thanks!

Love Maria

I like Nina best

Nina is, to my mind, by far the most interesting. The others are all perfectly pleasant names but maybe a bit dull, or I've just heard them too many times...

(well, part from Merryn, which is not dull or commonly heard, but I really don't like it.)

Nina or Anna

I don't like Nina, it's a bit nothingy. Daisy is sweet but twee.

The rest are all fine.

My own favourites are Alice, Emma, Anna, Lucy, Louisa and Jane.

Nina is lovely. I think Sophia and Emily are too popular..

Anna, Lucy and Sophia are my favourites, in that order.

I like Nina and Daisy from those

Alice, Sophia and Daisy are my favourites 😍

Alice - love
Emma - love
Anna -like
Emily - ok
Lucy - like
Merryn - don't like
Nina - ok
Louisa - like but Louise is better
Jane - love
Maria - like
Sophie - like a lot
Sophia - overused
Gabrielle - not keen
Charlotte - fine
Daisy - twee

I would remove Gabrielle, Merryn. Sophia and Daisy

Nina, Lucy, Charlotte, Anna and Emily are probably too popular, if that's a problem

Alice (would use it myself) Emily (timeless), Nina or Sofia. I know a Nina and it's a lovely name. I also discussed the name Sofia with my partner when pregnant. It was a boy though.

Alice - nice, classic
Emma - pretty but a bit dull
Anna - very dull
Emily - dull and a bit frilly for my liking
Lucy - lovely, classic
Merryn - quite like, unusual
Nina - love it
Louisa - bit dated
Jane - deathly boring
Maria - ok, feels a bit religious for me
Sophie - pretty but very popular
Sophia - as above
Gabrielle - reminds me of the singer
Charlotte - dull and a bit too royal for me
Daisy - cutesy and reminds me of cows

I'd go for Nina. Second choice Merryn, if I was feeling adventurous. You can't really go wrong with Lucy, Sophie / Sophia or Alice, but they're obviously more popular if that bothers you.

Love these ones;
Alice
Merryn
Jane
Maria

Gabrielle is lovely, Merryn is beautiful. The rest are very meh and overused.

Love Anna and Nina, and I don’t meet any little ones, and only know a few adults.
For me those two are the loveliest.

Next would be Emma and Louisa.
Not keen on the rest.

You have got mostly classic names on your list and then a few more unusual choices, so it's a bit of a mix.

I particularly love Jane, Anna, Alice, Nina and Louisa - all sound particularly elegant and pretty to me and Louisa and (especially) Jane are fairly uncommon now.

However I also think you can't go wrong with traditional Emma, Emily, Charlotte, Sophie, Sophia, Maria or Lucy (although Lucy isn't my personal taste and Sophie/Sophia/Sofia is having a bit of a popular "moment").

I don't hate Merryn but it stands out in comparison (and may be quite soundalike with popular Erin?), Gabrielle feels slightly dated and Daisy is too cutesy sounding for me.

I think Merryn is absolutely lovely and I don't know anyone - child or adult - called it. All the rest are totally overused and just a bit... beige. I say Merryn!

Merryn, Nina and Maria are gorgeous, they are classy and classic but also seem freah unlike the others which, while beautiful, are a little overdone and seem bland now.

Got to be Jane!

Anna most definitely

Alice - I like. One of my daughter's middle names after one of her great grandmas
Emma - Love this. Always wanted to be called Emma as a child and still love it now. I think it's one of those names that never dates.
Anna - Again another of my favourites. My daughter is Hannah.
Emily - I have always liked.
Lucy - One of my favourites and the name I would have chosen for the baby I miscarried if a girl.
Merryn - Never heard, but sounds pretty and unusual.
Nina - Not over keen.
Louisa - I like.
Jane - I really like. I'd love to hear this in use again for little ones.
Maria - Pretty. Reminds me of my Gran's lovely next door neighbour.
Sophie - This was always on my short list. DS would have been called this if a girl.
Sophia - Probably my favourite from your list. So pretty.
Gabrielle - Not over keen.
Charlotte - Pretty and classic. Also love Lottie.
Daisy - I also really like.
