Amber - a bit 90s
Roman - Love it!
Sabrina - echo the teenage witch comments
Cora - one of my faves
Cordelia - I find it a bit flowery. It reminds me of an AHS series
Daphne - objectively I like the name but wouldn’t use it at the moment due to the fact it will rise in popularity over the next few years due to bridgerton

*Rowan

MolkosTeenageAngst · 09/04/2022 12:22

My honest opinion

Amber - not keen and agree with pp it feels a bit dated
Rowan - I always see this as a boys name and don’t like it for a girl
Sabrina - definitely makes me think of the teenage witch but that said I do quite like it
Cora - love it, my favourite on your list for sure
Cordelia - for some reason I always think this is a mean/ snobby girls mean, something about it being just seems harsh to me
Daphne - makes me think of the cartoon duck, can’t really take it seriously as a name for a real person

Amber - American sorority girl circa 2001
Rowan - sweet but getting popular
Sabrina - 1980s stripper
Cora - nice
Cordelia - posh, or wannabe posh
Daphne - old lady

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/04/2022 14:09

Sabrina - love it, underused, punchy and pretty
Rowan - love it, but way overused so I wouldn’t
Cordelia - like it, on the rise
Cora - ok, bit meh
Amber - it just makes me think 70s porn star
Daphne - wet, not awful like Primrose, but drippy

Daphne and Cordelia are fabulous!

Sabrina - sounds dated
Cora - too on-trend
Cordelia - love it. My favourite on your list
Daphne - nice. Becoming popular

Amber

Amber - traffic light - 3/10
Rowan - don't like row as a nickname - 2/10
Sabrina - the teenage witch - 3/10
Cora - harsh - 3/10
Cordelia - posh/cordial - 5/10
Daphne - sounds like daft - 2/10

AuntTwacky · 10/04/2022 01:30

Only like Rowan

Kanaloa · 10/04/2022 04:44

Amber - 2/10 not my favourite, I think it’s a bit blah. I always imagine an Amber to be an adult, maybe because I’ve worked with a few ladies named Amber but never met a little Amber
Rowan - 5/10 it’s ok. Nothing special really in my opinion
Sabrina - 8/10 really lovely, very nice name
Cora - 7/10 it’s ok, I prefer Cordelia
Cordelia - 10/10 beautiful, not too popular but very nice
Daphne - 6/10 nice name

DogsAndGin · 11/04/2022 12:20

Amber - boring but inoffensive
Rowan - boys name
Sabrina - it’s ok
Cora - very dull
Cordelia - 1970s
Daphne - daft

My fave from this list is Sabrina

Happenchance · 11/04/2022 12:23

Amber - ok
Rowan - like
Sabrina - dislike
Cora - dislike. Makes me think of an apple corer.
Cordelia - love
Daphne - dislike
