Favourites: Flora, Alexandra, Verity
Least favourites: Wren, Seren, Thea

Algor1thm · 20/10/2022 21:54

Favourite are Fleur, Seren and Margot. I also like some others but they're just too popular for me - does the world really need another Olivia?

My least favourite would be Emily, Verity and Erin probably. Verity especially seems like a very stuck up sort of name.

ponderingpaula · 20/10/2022 21:56

Nice:
Alice
Lara
Alexandra
Josephine yes josie as nn only

Overused and boring:
Matilda
Rosie
Olivia

Naff:
Wren
Libby (nickname)
Pippa (nickname)

ShesThunderstorms · 20/10/2022 21:59

Faves- Maeve and Margot. Both very classy and chic names.
Least favourite- Olivia- it's overused and boring at this point, too many of them

ThatshallotBaby · 20/10/2022 22:02

wherearetheturrets · 20/10/2022 22:04

Favourites - Libby, Naomi and Freya
Least fav - seren, Sadie and Thea

Luredbyapomegranate · 20/10/2022 22:07

Favourites:

Verity
Flora
Naomi
Felicity (door to take extra)

Least Favourite:

Fleur - sounds like someone vomiting
Maeve - makes me think of minge and moist
Wren - faddy

I would dump these because they are overused:
Seren
Margot
Thea
Eliza
Alice
Matilda
Emily
Rosie
Freya
Olivia
Lara

And erin because it’s dated.

The rest are ok as long as full names on the birth cert (Elizabeth not Libby, Josephine not Josie)

washingbasketqueen · 20/10/2022 22:08

Fav
Seren
Erin
Margot

Least
Josie
Thea
Freya

caitlinrose · 20/10/2022 22:08

Nice:

Verity - underused and cute, good meaning.
Flora - reminds me of a fairy.
Seren - nice meaning.
Felicity - good meaning and classic.
Lara - bit dated but friendly-sounding.
Alice - nice classic.
Matilda - nice classic.

Indifferent:

Maeve - too many around right now and true popularity hidden behind a million spellings. May is nicer.
Naomi - a bit 90s but not bad.
Wren - very trendy.
Fleur - nice in theory but no one can pronounce it the correct way.
Erin - feels a bit dated.
Margot - very trendy, Margaux looks nicer.
Thea - trendy, boring sound, lots of Theos around.
Emily - nice but overused.
Freya - too common but fine.
Olivia - overused.

Not nice:

Libby - too much of a nickname and a 90s one at that.
Josie - I just dislike the way it sounds.
Alexandra - will get shortened to Alex and there are too many.
Pippa - sounds a bit silly. Philippa is nice.
Eliza - dislike sound.
Rosie - too cute. Prefer Rosalind.

Best: Alice, Felicity, Seren

Worst: Josie, Libby, Pippa, Alexandra (sorry can't just pick three).

Overall nice list!
