Aisha - nice enough but it's one of those names with 10 different spellings. Also, feels a bit 90s.
Delilah - like it but she might have both the Delilah songs sung at her constantly
Maddie - bit bland
Malia - pr. muh-LEE-a like Malia Obama? Quite pretty
Rhiannon - kind of dated but I like it. Love the Fleetwood Mac song
Talia - like it but would spell it Thalia
Ava - overused

Favourite - Talia/Thalia
Least fave - Ava

AnnaSW1 · 28/05/2022 22:11

I love Ava. A classic

Lindy2 · 28/05/2022 22:16

My favourites are

  • Taila
  • Maddie (as long as the birth certificate was for a full "proper" name like Madeline.
  • Rhiannon

I only like Ava.

elvis4nuts · 28/05/2022 22:41

@SabrePrattler
I have a Delilah and the singing thing literally never happens! I absolutely thought it would. And I come from a very musical/theatrical background!

TenThousandSpoons · 28/05/2022 22:48

I only like Ava.

butterflyflutterby123 · 28/05/2022 22:50

Aisha - not crazy
Delilah - pretty name
Maddie - sweet but not stand out
Malia - love love love - this one
Rhiannon - no opinion
Talia - solid option, really like
Ava- also great

Silverbirchy · 28/05/2022 23:02

Aisha - bit forgettable
Delilah - nice
Maddie - like Madeleine but not keen on Maddie
Malia - also a bit forgettable
Rhiannon - awesome name, my dd's middle name, though likely to be mispronounced outside of Wales
Talia - horrible
Ava - pretty but popular

Suggestions - Ada, Emmeline, Daphne, Lyra, Leila / Layla, Delphine, Matilda, Sylvia, Ffion, Rowan, Mia, Maya, Tess, Cecilia

Moonflower12 · 28/05/2022 23:26

Rhiannon definitely.
My horse has it as her middle name as I didn't have any children to give it to! At the time.

Moonflower12 · 28/05/2022 23:27

Obviously if I had I'd have used it for them!!

LizzieBet14 · 28/05/2022 23:32

Talia is my favourite (but spelt Tahlia)

emma1103 · 28/05/2022 23:36

When i hear Malia, i think of an 18-30s holiday!

Maddie - 1/10 tik tok?
Malia - 0/10 it's in Crete
Rhiannon 6/10 but boring
Talia 7/10 not over used

You gave your horse a middle name? This is the best thing I have ever heard

user3199 · 28/05/2022 23:41

I like Ava. Not keen on the others, sorry. My least favourite are Delilah (just makes me think of song) and Aisha (just not a nice sound to me, maybe it's my accent).

Some suggestions -
Lydia
Ailsa
Eira
Felicity
Thea
Marianne (Mari)
Claudia

I now want to know your horse's first name 😂

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 29/05/2022 00:27

Malia - favourite, beautiful and very underused
Talia - my fave instead if it was the Greek Thalia spelling, very elegant
Rhiannon - lovely, poetic and awesome Fleetwood Mac song!
Ava - shame it's so popular as its very pretty and nice and simple
Delilah - nice and lyrical sounding but just too trendy for me now

-Big gap-

Aisha - really never liked the sound, too harsh
Maddie - again, not a nice sound although Madeleine is lovely
