@DramaAlpaca

I don't like Margaret and Maddalena at all. The rest are nice.
Hang on, I don't know how I missed Gloria. It's easily the worst on the list.
RestingStitchFace · 04/03/2022 17:58

Anna
Mary
Alexandra. In that order.

SaggyTights · 04/03/2022 17:59

Alexandra
Rose
Mary

I’m that order

Bibbitybobbityboo86 · 04/03/2022 18:01

Rose is my favourite

Harridan1981 · 04/03/2022 18:03

Rose
Elizabeth
Anna

Alexandra and Anna. Isabel/Isobel.

Devo1818 · 04/03/2022 18:06

Isabella Rose

Or

Isabella Alexandra Rose

racquel86 · 04/03/2022 18:11

Isabella

DotDotDotDotDot · 04/03/2022 18:33

Love Rose as a first name, massively overused in the middle spot.
I also like Alexandra (although possible Lexi nickname is awful). Isabel is nice too although all variations are very popular still.
I personally dislike Mary and Margaret, to me they seem so old fashioned but not in a good way.

robinwoo · 04/03/2022 18:35

Anna
Rose

helpmum2003 · 04/03/2022 18:37

Like
Anna, Alexandre, Rose, Elizabeth

Don't like
Gloria, Margaret, Maddalena

Luredbyapomegranate · 04/03/2022 19:40

I’d go for Alexandra, Mary - or if you want to make a big statement then Gloria. Alexandra my favourite overall - elegant but not dull.

Isabel/la and Rose are so overused they need to be retired for a century, Elizabeth and Anna also very popular. Margaret has an austere elegance, but could be dreary on a quite girl.

Maddalena is the only one I don’t like - it’s an odd form of the name in the UK, go with Madeleine or - if you want drama - Magdalena

StellaOlivetti · 04/03/2022 20:32

Elizabeth or Alexandra are both beautiful.
To answer your question, the only one I dislike is Gloria. I wouldn’t use your spelling of Maddalena, but I like Magdalene or Magdalena.

WeasilyPleased · 04/03/2022 22:44

Please call your baby Gloria! It's so cute and dignified at the same time. Definitely due a revival.

Mumofgirls2017 · 05/03/2022 03:27

Anna, Rose, or Eluzabeth

Alooffoof · 05/03/2022 04:08

Not keen on Maddalena but love Magdalena

The other names I like on your list are so overused that it would put me off. Sorry op.

FayCarew · 05/03/2022 13:29

Margaret -like
Isabel/Isabella - too popular/overused
Elizabeth - like
Anna - like
Mary - like
Alexandra - nice
Rose - not keen
Gloria - too much
Maddalena - don't like. Spelling looks strange

I love Gloria, considered it for DD. She’s Joy instead.

Here we go - with out of tens!
Margaret 6/10

Elizabeth 8/10
Anna 4/10
Mary 4/10
Alexandra 8/10
Rose 5/10
Gloria 7/10
Maddalena 4/10

Gloria is a bold choice. Go for it if you're that sort larger-than-life sort. With apologies to those so-named I find Mary and Anna incredibly ordinary, but not unpleasant.

Don't call her Rose. People will just yell "ROSE!" all the time like in Titanic! Smile

danascully96 · 06/03/2022 08:09

I just watched Mrs. America and was thinking how cool Gloria would be on a child in reference to some great feminists! It’s such a strong, lyrical name! And oh so glorious Wink

Margaret 6/10
Isabel/Isabella 7/10
Elizabeth 9/10
Anna 6/10
Mary 6/10
Alexandra 8/10
Rose 10/10
Gloria 8.5/10 (wee bit dated, but still love)
Maddalena 5/10
