Girls names

[Purplepalmer]

Which would you choose and why?

Delilah
Phoebe
Jessica
Marnie
Alannah

I think these are all quite different in style but seem to be the only names me and dh can kind of agree on. I have reservations about most though, any other suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Phoebe, Jessica and Marnie are to my taste. Phoebe is one of my favourite names.

I don't particularly like Delilah or Alannah

I love Delilah, Jessica and Marnie.
My thoughts...
Delilah- pretty but has a 'cool' edge.
Jessica- only thing I don't like is potential Jess shortening. Pretty name. Wholesome image.
Marnie- unique, cool, unconventional. Not quite as 'pretty' but I do love it.

I don't like the look or sound of Phoebe. Something about it just looks 'wrong'.

Jessica or Alannah

Sorry didnt say why. I like them better.

Delilah - why, why why….it’s not a bad name but I’d probably go for Delia.

Phoebe - gorgeous name but friends connotation.

Jessica - bit 80’s to me

Marnie - lovely

Alannah - dislike it! Also pronunciation issues of al-anna vs al-arna

Lana rather than Alannah if you like the al-arna pronunciation?

Jessica

I like Jessica and Alannah

What's the obsession with Delilah recently? It's in everyone's lists. It's awful.

I like Phoebe from your list OP.

Phoebe I think, although I have to confess I'm not mad about any of them. But I feel your pain on not having many to agree on with OH!

Least favourite is Marnie.

I love Delilah and Alannah. Really dislike Phoebe.

Dislike Delilah - Delilah was a deceptive, manipulative character in the Bible.

Jessica - Nice name - Shakespearean.

Phoebe - Not to my taste. Reminiscent of the word feeble.

Marnie - bit insubstantial but it would be a nice nickname.

Alannah - I like but prefer the spelling Alana, which seems less fussy.

So Jessica and Alannah would be my favourites.

Oooh

Marnie but only as a nn for Marianne or Marina, it’s too insubstantial as a full name.
Jessica is solid, and Jess / Jessie good nns
So one of these two

Phoebe is nice, bit twee for me
Delilah - ok, just too fussy for me
Alannah - no - just makes me think of 70s rock chicks.. somehow not in a good way. It’s a bit downmarket somehow.

I love Alannah and like Phoebe and Jessica. Not keen on Delilah, mainly because of the song I think! I don't like Marnie, but only because I used to know someone with this name who wasn't very nice!

I love Phoebe, Jessica and Marnie.
They were on my list but hubby vetoed them all.

Delilah - awful
Phoebe - fine, but will be Phoebs
Jessica - nice
Marnie -Hitchcock film, not a good associatiib
Alannah - will get misspelt and mispronounced

Delilah - okay
Phoebe - lovely
Jessica - nice, but comes along with some 90ies vibes
Marnie - unusual, but beautiful - meaning is 'of the sea' is there a connection op?
Alannah - not awful, but boring

I like Phoebe, Jessica and Alannah and Marnie is cute too. You have nice taste in names.

Athena
Maeve
Hannah
Daphne
Lyla
Dalia
Fiona
Luna
Lorelei
Dahlia
Juliette
Serena
Camilla
Zara
Giselle
Avianna
Simone

Phoebe or Jessica, dislike the others.

I like Phoebe. If i had to rename myself using your list, that's the one I'd pick. It's a nice name that suits all ages.

Love Marnie and Jessica. Both strong names that would sit well on an adult and child. Lots of Jessicas around but you have a couple of good nn options, Jess, Jessie.

Delilah is too frilly for me and Alannah too on trend. Phoebe is lovely but lots around and it doesn't really lend itself to good shortenings.

What about Naomi? I really like most of the names in your list, and Naomi is the name I’d have gone for if I’d had a girl.

Phoebe. It's a lovely name and not over-used.
I don't mind any of the others- I think Jessica in particular is really nice. The only one I dislike is Marnie.

Like them all, except Delilah. Love Alannah or Lana.
