What’s peoples opinions on these names for a baby girl?

Callie would be my pick. I prefer Evelyn to Everly but still a lovely name.

TenThousandSpoons · 06/10/2021 20:34

Callie is the least worst. Prefer Carrie or Cassie though.
Bessie = Aunt Bessie’s
Opal = nice meaning but doesn’t sound like a name to me.
Everly = you missed the B off Beverley

Evelyn is lovely

annacondom · 06/10/2021 20:38

Everly? Never heard it as a forename and I would assume it's a boy. Everly brothers. I like the others though. Callie reminds me of Dallas but I'm probably the only person to say that, and is not necessarily a negative.

Everly - not keen. I also think write a lot of people will mishear it as Evelyn.
Bessie - it's ok but I also think of Bessie Bunter. Betsy is much nicer in my opinion.
Opal - it's ok. It makes me think the person would be from the deep South. But I think it's quite cute.
Callie - I really like this but prefer it as a nn for Callista or even Camille/Camilla

Callie is nice.

Opal is interesting.

Everly is a surname.

Bessie is truly awful.

Not so keen on Bessie ... Bessie the cow or Hellcow is a Marvel Comic character.

PanicBuyingSprouts · 06/10/2021 20:51

Bessie is my favourite then Opal.

WeasilyPleased · 06/10/2021 22:11

I've surprised myself by really loving Opal.

lgfh07 · 06/10/2021 22:18

I love Everly and Callie!

riotlady · 06/10/2021 22:30

Bessie is a horses name to me, but the rest are lovely.

Everly18 · 06/10/2021 22:39

I love Everly, as you can see I use it as my username for most things! Haha

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 06/10/2021 22:43

Bessie isn’t nice.

The others are lovely.

ApolloandDaphne · 06/10/2021 22:45

Callie is quite nice but I'm not really keen on the others at all.

rainbowandglitter · 06/10/2021 22:53

I know 3 dogs called Bessie.

Bobbiethemouse · 06/10/2021 22:55

Everly sounds like someone saying Beverley with a speech impediment. Not keen on Opal it sounds like an old lady. Like the other two.

sunflowerdaisies · 06/10/2021 23:01

I like Callie and don't mind Everly. Not keen on the others.

groovergirl · 06/10/2021 23:03

Callie is OK as a nn. Callista, Calliope, Caroline, Camilla, Caledonia?

BubbleCoffee · 07/10/2021 00:22

I like Opal and Bessie, then Callie.

AnotherLauraLou · 07/10/2021 11:04

Callie

B0G0F · 07/10/2021 13:21

Everly, - dislike. Beverly without the B
Bessie, - great. Bess is even better
Opal - not keen
Callie - ok short for Caroline
