I love Eliza (would go for Elizabeth on BC) and Anna. I also like Louisa. Less keen on the others. Tessa and Alice at the bottom.

SpringIntoChaos · 29/03/2022 20:30

Tessa/Tess I love ❤️
Eliza and Anna are great.

The rest are just 'ok' I think, except Maria, which despite being my best friend's name, I don't like 'now' for a baby.

SpringIntoChaos · 29/03/2022 20:32

(I know only two people with Tessa/Tess, as their names. One goes by Tessa, the other Tess...both teachers and both utterly fabulous humans 💗💗)

changenametimeagain · 29/03/2022 20:34

Ooh I haven't heard Tessa for ages. I love it!

tigerbird · 29/03/2022 20:44

My favourites are (in order!)

Alice
Anna
Lucy

  • all of which I love; then

Louisa
Eliza

  • both of which I don't mind; and

Tessa
Rosie
Maria

  • which I think old-fashioned and I dislike.

Do you have any preferences, OP?

Least fave: Tessa (I do like Tess though)

Mountainbear · 29/03/2022 21:04

Eliza - dislike, sounds like a Victoria maid
Maria - not keen, sounds a bit religious for me
Tessa - love Tess
Lucy - beautiful
Louisa - not keen. Like Eloise and Elise though
Alice - nice but dull
Anna - dull - how about Nina?
Rosie - prefer Rose or Rosa

Favourite is Eliza. It's a bit different fresh and sounds good whatever age you are.

TheLoupGarou · 30/03/2022 00:18

They all sound a bit like they could be a class of boarding school girls in an Enid Blyton book -

I like Anna, Alice, Lucy
Dislike Maria, Tessa

I dislike Rosie but like other variations of it - Rosalie, Rosanna, Rose.

Strongly dislike Eliza for some reason.

TheLoupGarou · 30/03/2022 00:19

Forgot Louisa - yeah it's ok.

peaceinourtime · 30/03/2022 21:46

Tessa is in Tess is better. Louisa is my next favourite.

A580Hojas · 30/03/2022 21:48
