Opinions on my top 10

Just interested in what people think. I'm not overly bothered by popularity so no need to point that kind of thing out.

Ottilie
Margot
Hazel
Daphne
Esme
Willa
Clara
Honor
Iris
Mabel

I like Honor and Clara the best from your list.

Clara and Honor.

I really dislike Hazel, it’s just so ugly and 80s. I imagine a bad perm and blue eyeshadow. Don’t like Willa either, it feels like half a name, wet.

This exactly re Hazel!! It’s suddenly become ‘ok’ but god it’s awful.

Hazel’s best friend is Beverley and they have crap perms and nick cheap jewellery from C&A on a Saturday morning. Then they stand outside HMV and have a fag.

Ottilie - horrible. Hate it Margot - fine but very popular and autocorrect comes up “maggot” Hazel - fine Daphne - fine Esme - bit naff Willa - no. Awful. Hate it. Clara - nice Honor - naff Iris - nice Mabel - fine

This list is one of the most mumsnetty lists I’ve ever seen

I love Ottilie!

Ottilie - don’t understand the current fad for this. Frilly. That said, I do like Ottoline.
Margot - A bit trendy. Don’t mind it, but not for me.
Hazel - want to love but can’t shake the dowdiness.
Daphne - dislike
Esme - love pronounced Ez-mee. Like pronounced Ez-may.
Willa - Willy. Another one I don’t get.
Clara - Love
Honor - Love
Iris - fine. Used to be on my list but so popular where I am atm, Ivy and Iris are feeling like the new Evie.
Mabel - Been warming to this recently but feel it’s a very go-to hipster name.

Ottilie - lovely but very popular
Margot - dislike
Hazel - ok
Daphne - lovely
Esme - ok but hate it said Ezmae
Willa - not sure, prefer Willow
Clara - lovely, my fav
Honor - lovely

My German penpal was called Ottilie. It was pronounced Oh-teelya. I'm wondering if the same pronunciation is used here?
Never much liked the name anyway.
Mabel - yes
Clara-ok
Iris - bit 1950s housewife, but yes
everything else, no

Ottilie - don't like
Margot - not keen
Hazel - ok
Daphne - ok
Esme - not keen
Willa - don't like
Clara - don't like
Honor - ok
Iris - ok
Mabel - not keen

Hazel, Honor or Iris

I love the name Ottilie and don't associate it with Mumsnet at all - it reminds me of a short story by John Wyndham. It was one of my top girls' names. I also like Iris and Margot from your list.

My daughter’s name is on this list! I like lots of them,but am not keen on Ottilie and Mabel. They sound a bit try-hard to me(sorry to others who’ve used them-can see that the name I chose is not everyone’s cup of tea from responses !).

I like Iris, Hazel and Honor.

Ottilie - horrible. And it will get (inexplicably) popular due to Zoella
Margot - maggot
Hazel - quite sweet
Daphne - ok
Esme - nice
Willa - very nice
Clara - nice
Honor - as long as your surname isn't something that you could be "on".
Iris - dreadful
Mabel - old lady

Ottilie twee and faddy
Margot looks like maggot
Hazel frumpy
Daphne hideous! She won't thank you.
Esme nice
Willa absolutely awful
Clara meh
Honor ok
Iris nice
Mabel nice

Ottilie - fussy and otterly, not very pretty sounding tbh
Margot - fine
Hazel - fine
Daphne - fine and a bit different, some may find it wet
Esme - dull and people get their knickers in a twist re. pronunciation
Willa - sounds half finished and wishy washy
Clara - fine
Honor - "on her", no teenage girl will thank you for the name
Iris - fine, quite nice but will date
Mabel - won't date well

Bin Willa and Honor.
