Excellent user name!

Sarah and Jayne are perfectly nice names.. but so are Elodie and Sylvie.

OP I love Sylvie, it was on my list and I like also Freya and Elodie 🙂

Marina instead of Marine?

Love Sylvie it was my great great Aunt's name, who was apparently, a very kindly lady. It's a nice one to bring back

Elodie, Sylvie and Freya are beautiful. I think Freya is the most popular and Sylvie is the least - good to bear in mind in case you're going for a rare name or something high up!

My favourite on your list is Xanthe.

Marina?
Elowyn?

@KeepingAnOpenMind

Why does no one use names like Sara, Jane or Jackie anymore? Is it because people want unusual names only?
It's because people don't want to use those names. Is that alright with you?

Of your list, Sylvie - pretty and spriteky

But if you like Marina rather than Marine - that’s really beautiful and elegant. Or If you like Ianthe rather than Xanthe - then same.

Freya is lovely but got a bit tired
Elodie - sweet but she’ll be one of a billion Ellies, also, like Freya and Scarlett, it went from no where to very popular so it will date
Xanthe - it’s wet - but Ianthe (eye-an-thee) is very elegant
Zanna - no, weird. Hannah. Anna or Zara - all fine
Scarlett - tired and a bit downmarket these days

For me? Sylvie.

The name of one of the most beautiful souls I have had the good fortune to meet.

PinkSyCo · 12/03/2022 22:02

Love the name Sylvie ( though I would use Sylvia so that child has option of both). Elodie’s lovely too. Freya’s quite nice. Marina’s better than Marine. Not too keen on Xanthe and don’t like Zanna or Scarlett at all.

DeoForty · 12/03/2022 22:21

I really like Marine. Have you thought about Nerine? Like the flower?

wizzler · 12/03/2022 22:55

I like all your names except Zanna. Would you consider Elvie or Zinnia ?

Mummyofmandb · 13/03/2022 00:39

@Frankiefarr Like Sylvie and Elodie. Marin instead of Marine?

Mumofgirls2017 · 13/03/2022 02:46

I love Xanthe! Also Elodie and Sylvie

Elspethelf · 13/03/2022 05:02

I love Sylvie and Xanthe. Xan as a nn is so cool

garlictwist · 13/03/2022 05:31

The only one I like is Freya (my name as it happens!)

I really dislike Élodie and Sylvie. They are very middle aged names.

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 13/03/2022 05:32

Elodie is L.O.D. Very ugly sounding. Xanthe is great.
