Eleanor
Mirren
Cora

Great names

I don't like any of the others.

Only like Silvie

Nell is amazing, I would have used it for DD except it rhymes with our surname ! I'd call her Eleanor with Nell for short.

Love Maggie too, and the rest are okay except for Mirren, which I wasn't aware of as a name (and I've worked in several schools!), and just makes me think of Dame Helen Mirren...

Nell - is a nn for Eleanor, also on your list
Fern - Jilly Cooper
Eleanor - great. Good solid name. Lots of Ellies about though
Cora - not to my taste
Maggie - Diminutive of Margaret. It’s a nice name but as an 80s child I just want to shout ‘out out out’ :-)
Heidi - wishy washy
Mirren - surname
Silvie -lovely. Sylvia’s nicer
Greta- now you’re talking!
Dorothy - fab!

Eleanor / Nell.

The Greta that dominates media headlines makes that a definite NO from me.

I don’t much like any of the others.

Eleanor with Nell as the diminutive is OK.

I like Sylvie (that spelling) Fern and Dorothy. Cora is growing on me and Mirren might as well.

I dislike Maggie, Greta and especially Heidi.

I like Maggie and Heidi

Brilliant list! By which I mean it includes my daughter's name and many that I considered

I would spell Sylvie like this, or even better Sylvia.

Not keen on Mirren - how about Meredith or Mairi?

All the rest are great.

Love Nell
We also had Tess and Marnie on the list

Nell - love on its own or as a nn for Eleanor/Helena
Fern - love
Eleanor - love with nn Nell
Cora - don't like much, a bit nothing-ey
Maggie - like as a nickname for Magdalena or Margot
Heidi - feels boring somehow
Mirren - prefer Miriam
Silvie - love
Greta - like
Dorothy - love

Nell- nice short for Eleanor, Helena or Penelope
Fern- Britton
Eleanor- ok
Cora- love
Maggie- not quite due revival yet
Heidi- nice
Mirren- no
Silvie- spelt Sylvie nice
Greta- ok
Dorothy- love

Dorothy wins for me

Cora's lovely

Not keen on the rest

Nell - like, probably as nn for Eleanor. Norah?
Fern - love love love. Rowan? Willow? Hazel?
Eleanor - a see above
Cora - like
Maggie - like, nn for Marguerite?
Heidi - quite like, bit a bit twee
Mirren - no, love Merryn
Silvie - no, love Sylvia
Greta - ugly
Dorothy - no, like Dot. Odette?

I really only like Silvie and Greta.

I would spell Silvie 'Sylvie'.

Eleanor is my favourite but dislike Ellie
Silvie is very nice
The worst Dorothy, Maggie and Cora they sound frumpy to me

Nell- As a nickname lovely
Fern- actually beautiful.
Eleanor- bit bland
Cora- love but sounds rubbish in out accent
Maggie- love the name Maggie. Strong and fun
Heidi- I know a few. A bit silly
Mirren- nice
Silvie- spelt Sylvie pretty
Greta- strong (same issue with accent on the a)
Dorothy- surprised myself by loving it. Or Dorothea.

Love Heidi
Also like Mirren and Greta.

Love Silvie, but prefer Sylvie. Also really like Heidi. Not keen on the rest on your list.

Tell a lie, I also like Eleanor.

I like Fern, Eleanor, Cora and Greta.

It's a very solid list 😊

Good list OP. It contains my DD’s name - won’t reveal which it is, but suffice to say it’s very much a ‘marmite’ name as the responses so far demonstrate!

Nell - Can’t warm to this. Too nicknamey and I can’t help thinking of Nelly the elephant.
Fern - pretty without being girly; fresh-sounding - but prefer as a middle name
Eleanor - like; elegant and timeless, lots of good nicknames, but maybe a tad fusty/prim?
Cora - like
Maggie - really dislike the ‘mag’ sound
Heidi - not a fan; a bit cutesy/twee
Mirren - unsure on this, but I love both Merryn and Maren/Marin
Silvie - nice spelt Sylvie

Greta - quite like
Dorothy - would have said no way this time last year but it’s growing on me. Dot makes a cute nickname.

The only one I like is Sylvie
