Baby names and a question ❤️

[danascully96]

Which three of my favorite girl names do you like the best?

Charlotte
Violet
Lily
Rose
Rosamund (prn “Rose-uh-mund”)
Julia
Eve
Eva
Diana
Nadia
Sylvie
Margot “Maggie” or “Meg”
Magdalena “Maggie” or “Meg”
Genevieve
Caroline
Louisa
August
Elizabeth “Elle” or “Eliza”

Also, what qualities do you look for in a name? I look for glam, romance, and musicality, but do you rank quirkiness and distinctiveness higher?

Julia
Sylvie
Caroline.

I really like Rosamund, Diana and Genevieve too.

I don't like Magdalena much, as I don't like Maggie or the risk of Maddy.

Is August a typo? To me it's a boy's name.

Violet
Rose
Rosamund
Caroline

Will anyone pronounce Rosamund as Rose-amund?

Julia, Caroline, Elizabeth

Violet
Eve
Magdalena (but not Maggie)

Lovely names...we have similar taste. Sylvie is gorgeous and I love Caroline, it's so glamorous and underused

I'd shortlist...
Charlotte
Violet
Lily
Rosamund (prn “Rose-uh-mund”)
Magdalena “Maggie” or “Meg”
Genevieve

I just look for something that I like the sound of

Elizabeth, Margot and Rose

Lily, Julia and the third choice would be between Rose and Caroline.

I look for names I like the sound of, that’s it. If they have a nice or interesting meaning that’s a plus, but I don’t start the search there.

Charlotte, Caroline and Louisa are my favourites.

Charlotte, Elizabeth and Rosamund.

Rose (but prefer Rosa)
Eva
Violet

Top 3 - lovely and underused
Diana
Caroline
Augusta (presume you mean this? August is a boy's name)

Also quite like these - but popular/going that way

Julia
Louisa
Margot
Sylvia (less twee than Sylvie)
Genevieve

Don't like
Nadia
Magdelena (fussy)

These all way too overused
Charlotte
Violet
Lily
Rose
Rosamund (prn “Rose-uh-mund”) - too similar to overused Rose
Eve
Eva
Elizabeth

Rosamund
Genevieve
Diana

I tend to favour elegance, and these are three very elegant, glamorous names.
The first two also have nice nicknames, Rosie and Genny.
The one drawback with Diana is that people inevitably shorten it to Di, which is awful. If this were my name I'd insist on Diana every time.

Top three lily, Elizabeth and Charlotte.

Violet
Diana
Eliza

They’re all lovely. I like Margot, Louisa, and Elizabeth best.

When I chose my children’s names my most important factor was wearability. Some names are fantastic but you really would need to be a bubbly personality to pull them off. I’m thinking very unusual names/some animal names etc. Whereas if your name is Louisa or Thomas or Jackson or Marie you can really be anybody. Nobody thinks it’s odd if James if shy or if he’s the life and soul, but if you’re called Rainbow or Tiger you have attention on you right away.

Oh actually Genevieve is very nice as well. To be honest it’s such a nice list you could choose pretty much any name and have a winner! The only one of the whole list I would change is Julia - although I like Julia I love Juliet so would choose that.

Charlotte
Eve
Eva

I chose 4. You have some lovely names.

Charlotte
Rose
Sylvie
Louisa

August is a male name.

My favourites are definitely Charlotte, Violet and Louisa, although I also very much like Sylvie, Rose, Julia, Diana (prefer Dinah) and Eliza (also like Elizabeth, but prefer Eliza). To me August is a boys name, the female version would be Augusta.

Love Genevieve, the rest not so much so

I know 2 Augusts, both male, so not sure if that's a typo & yiu meant Augusta ? I know a lovely 20 something Augusta

Genevieve

Magdalena, Elizabeth, Genevieve, and Rose.

I like: (as favourtie 3 out of your list)

Margot “Maggie” or “Meg”
Caroline
Elizabeth “Elle” or “Eliza”
BUT

I like Margot as a 'stand alone' name, but if I were wanting 'Maggie I would call her Margaret and if I were wantinf Meg I would probably go for Megan

I like Elizabeth, but don't think of 'Elle' as being a shortening of it, not Eliza. If you want either of those names I would give them those names. Elizabeth is likely to become Liz or Lizzie.
