Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Faith - ok, but sounds religious which is fine if you are
Violet - I love it, but hate Vi
Destiny - Destiny's Child. Say no more.
Cherry - love it. I had a dog with that name
Mollie - ok
Ruby - ok
Eva - every other child in my road
Hope - devil child on Corrie.

I only like Eva, faith and violet. Destiny and cherry are awful sorry, ruby, Mollie and hope are meh

Hadtocomment · 27/09/2022 21:50

I like Violet. Or Viola if you're looking for something similar. I quite like Hope actually and it seems a bit unusual for here. Destiny and Cherry and Faith I don't like too much. The rest are quite nice but jump out less.

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/09/2022 22:32

I like Hope, quite like Ruby and Violet

Molly and Eva are nice but overused

Cherry and destiny are stripper names

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/09/2022 22:33

Faith isn’t awful but it will slightly make her sound like a religious maniac

Vitamm · 27/09/2022 22:44

These are so many names that are actually words. I think not everyone would like to grow up with a word name, like cherry or hope. Faith sounds very religious and Destiny a little odd (to me). Violet is lovely but can sound like violent. Eva is beautiful but very common these days. Molly nicer with this spelling I think!

Happenchance · 27/09/2022 23:10

I only like Ruby and Eva. I much prefer Violetta to Violet.

SequinsandStilettos · 27/09/2022 23:27

Faith - fuddy duddy/Lynda Bellingham
Violet - shrinking
Destiny - Miley
Cherry - virginity
Mollie - okay
Ruby - Kaiser chiefs/murray
Eva - Braun
Hope - good in the current climate

So yes, top three

  1. Hope
  2. Mollie
  3. Ruby
DramaAlpaca · 27/09/2022 23:30

I'd drop Destiny and Cherry.

Faith and Hope are very different in style to the rest.

Favourites are Ruby and Violet.

Yellowcakestand · 27/09/2022 23:49

I love Cherry.

My girls names list were Berry and Daisy...I had a boy!

Completely agree with the above. No to all the word and faith names from me. That leaves Molly (I prefer this spelling) / Mollie, Ruby and Eva. I'd say Ruby is the nicest of the 3. Eva too common and I prefer the European pronunciation of the name anyway. Molly is also ok.

DickDarstedly · 28/09/2022 00:05

Not Destiny

gretr · 28/09/2022 00:06

I think the op isn’t from the uk (please correct me if not), they are good strong African modern Christian names, so whatever you pick will be fine. Mollie is a big hit in the local church I work with.

eleanorsmellstrop · 28/09/2022 00:17

LOVE Faith and Hope, they’re beautiful.

I like Violet and Eva.

Not keen on the rest.

mondaytosunday · 28/09/2022 00:25

Faith - no, too 'goody goody'
Violet - a bit old maidish, but ok
Destiny - awful
Cherry - ditto and both sound like a girls band
Mollie - meh
Ruby - far too popular
Eva - love it
Hope - see Faith

DuchessOfSausage · 28/09/2022 08:51

Faith - ok, but a bit religious if you are not
Violet - ok
Destiny - truly, truly awful
Cherry - ok but maybe as a short form of Cherith
Mollie - fine but prefer Molly
Ruby - ok, but not my taste
Eva - disappears into all the Evie and Ava type names
Hope - theoretically nice, but will be Hopeless

Mumofgirls2017 · 28/09/2022 09:13

Faith- not for me
Violet- not keen. Somehow reminds me of spoiled child, and violent
Destiny- no
Cherry- no
Mollie- ok, prefer Molly
Ruby- not for me
Eva- love
Hope- not for me

babyjellyfish · 28/09/2022 09:21

Destiny and Cherry are stripper names.

The rest are fine.

OceanbreezeSun · 28/09/2022 15:56

I really like Violet & Ruby from your list op.
Hope is nice, as is Eva. Faith is ok.

I don’t like Destiny, Cherry or Mollie, sorry.

chages · 29/09/2022 00:28

Faith - it's alright
Violet - never liked this. Not sure why, just doesn't sound 'nice' to me
Destiny - not keen
Cherry - this would actually grow on me but the immediate reaction is it's too out there
Mollie - boring
Ruby - a classic to me, I absolutely love it
Eva - it's alright
Hope - quite like

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 29/09/2022 00:31

Violet-yes
Destiny- awful

Cheeselog · 29/09/2022 00:35

Ruby, Eva & Mollie - I like these but I prefer the spelling Molly
Faith, Violet & Hope - I don’t love these but they’re not awful
Destiny & Cherry - awful
