Be ruthless!

[FairyLightPups]

Thoughts on these names? Feel free to be ruthless!

Arietta
Connie
Freya
Jasmine
Juliet
Lottie
Maeve
Matilda
Melody
Meredith
Rosalie
Sylvie
Violet

Love them all actually, especially Sylvie

I love all those names! Many made it onto my last girls list (I had a boy!)

Really love most!! Don't like Freya, jasmine or Connie though xx

Juliet is my favourite. Rosalie also lovely.

They're all nice, but as you wanted ruthless, here's my preferences.

Nope.
Arietta
Connie
Melody

Meh but maybe.
Freya
Jasmine

Nicest.
Juliet
Lottie
Maeve
Matilda
Meredith
Rosalie
Sylvie
Violet

They are all really nice names

Would you have Charlotte and then call her Lottie?

I think Jasmine is actually really nice, never even thought of that name when I was trying to pick

Wow I'm quite surprised at the love for these names - thank you!

No we wouldn't use Charlotte for Lottie. I was worrying that one would be a bit too nicknamey!

Juliet is gorgeous and my fave - so beautiful and elegant imo. Also think lovely Sylvie and Rosalie are very pretty and chic.

Matilda is a strong sounding semi classic imo and Freya and Maeve have a lovely lyrical sound (if all 3 perhaps a bit more popular).

Dislike the others - not keen on the nickname type names, Arietta, Melody and Meredith really not my taste and much prefer elegant Viola and Jessamine to Violet and Jasmine (as they sound less harsh to me.)

Juliet is my favourite, also like Meredith

I prefer Viola to Violet too. Nicer sounding.

Of your list, I like:

Freya (but it's a bit dull)
Juliet
Maeve (used to hate but it's grown on me recently!)
Matilda (again, a bit overused though)
Meredith
Sylvie
Violet

Not keen on Arietta, Lottie or Violet but I love the rest. Particularly Matilda, Melody and Juliet

Like Freya and Rosalie absolutely love Maeve and Sylvie really dislike Lottie, Connie and Ariette the rest are meh imo you asked for honest

Maeve, Rosalie and Julia rather than Juliet. All good for grown ups.

Arietta - awful, sounds like 'Harry ate a'. Harriet is much nicer.
Connie - like
Freya - overused
Jasmine - ok
Juliet - ok
Lottie -ok if short for Charlotte
Maeve - not keen
Matilda - overused
Melody - ding dong
Meredith - horrible
Rosalie - not keen
Sylvie - not keen
Violet -ok

Thank you, really good to get a wide range of opinons!

I love Juliet and Meredith.

i like Rosalie, Sylvie, and Maeve.

The rest are not my taste.

Arietta - The Borrowers?
Connie - not my bag
Freya overdone
Jasmine - bit 90s
Juliet - ok
Lottie - twee
Maeve - not my bag
Matilda - overdone
Melody - quite interesting / unusual
Meredith - ditto Melody
Rosalie - not my bag
Sylvie - not my bag
Violet - nice - like viola too

Yes DW doesn't like 'book names' and I've been trying to find a way to use Arietty without using Arietty... it's a moot point anyway because I just asked DW again and she's now vetoed Arietta and Matilda. Sigh.

I like them all except Arietta (too much like The Borrowers) and Violet.

I like all apart from Maeve, Sylvie, Melody and Arietta. Juliet and Matilda I think are my favourites.

Don’t like Arietta and find Freya very wet. Lottie is too nicknamey.

The others are nice.

Melody is due a comeback. Such a lovely name.

I would exclude Freya and Matilda as overused but any of the others good

Sylvie is my favourite and it's lovely
