NC because my mum, who is convinced we are having a boy, is on MN!

Please can you rate these names for me?

Anna
Chloe
Clara
Elena
Emilia
Isabelle
Julia
Margot
Rose
Zoe

Baby girl is due in a month and we are struggling to narrow it down! We are looking for an international name which is spelled the same in English and French.

Thank you!

My personal favourites from your list are Anna, Emilia and Margot. But all are good names and imo not divisive or controversial.

Oh and Marie/Maria!

Nice names.

My favourites from your list are Margot and Julia , I don’t like Anna , Clara and Rose .

They are all nice names but my vote would go to Zoe, Rose or Chloe

Clara, Julia and Margot more likely to date than those above IMHO as they all seem to be very popular right now

There others all start with a vowel and as lovely as they are I'm a bit bored of E, I & A names as they've been hugely popular for past 20 years

I like Anna and Julia (think the 80s names are finally making a comeback!). Not that keen on the others.

Love all these names - beautiful and classic! Zoe is my favourite

They're all good, so it may come down to whatever works best with your surname.

Anna - fine
Chlöe - okay
Clara - cute
Elena - missing a h
Emilia - alrigt
Isabelle - like it but prefer an a at the end
Julia - nice
Margot - meh
Rose - sweet
Zoe - fine

Basically is score it 5/10

I also like Maria a lot.

You're wrong, Elena is an Italian name. It's not missing a H.

Chloe and Clara are the nicest. EVERYBODY is calling their daughter Margot at the moment, it's very twee in my opinion.

Anna - timeless
Chloe - a bit 90s to me, I was friends with a lot when growing up
Clara - love Clara, was on my list
Elena - love
Emilia - no! Too many, blends in with all the Amelia’s
Isabelle - nice but a bit done
Julia - another timeless name but prefer Anna
Margot - I love Margot although it seems to be getting quite popular
Rose - I prefer Rosa, don’t know why I just can’t get onboard with Rose. Maybe as it’s done to death as a middle name
Zoe - again very 90s to me but it is lovely

out of your list my favourites are Clara and Elena

Ooh yes Rosa is great

Anna - fine
Chloe - #1 in the 1990s. dated
Clara - don't like it - Claire is better but dated in UK
Elena - not sure how to say it in UK never mind France
Emilia - Amelia too popular
Isabelle - works for both countries
Julia - not sure how it would work in france
Margot - not keen
Rose - Roz vs Rows
Zoe - ok

I'd go with Zoe

Elena and Julia are both top 100 names in France!

By contrast, there were only 18 baby Isabelles in the whole of France last year. I like the name but am worried it's like the French equivalent of Janet/Susan/Linda in France now.

Isabelle did cross my mind as being a mum name in France. Probably like Clare in the UK.
How do they say Elena and Julia? My guess would be El-en-ah and Zhul-ee-aa,

How do they say Elena and Julia? My guess would be El-en-ah and Zhul-ee-aa

Yes that's right. Elena with an almost equal emphasis on each syllable, quite similar to how we say Eleanor in English, and Julia just has a softer J.

I would go Maria, Julia, Zoe in that order

Anna- classic
Chloe- becoming dated I think
Clara- love
Elena- like
Emilia- not a fan
Isabelle- meh
Julia- classic, like
Margot- not for me. But trendy
Rose- ok, classic
Zoe- becoming dated

All nice. My favs are:

Anna
Elena
Julia
Zoe

Slightly less favs are:
Clara
Emilia
Isabelle
Margot
Rose
Chloe

There seem to be a lot of Amelias and now Emilias. I prefer Amelie, Emily and Emma. There seem to be a lot of Isobels and Isabels and Isabellas too. I love Isobel in particular, but I'd prefer to have a name that wasn't THE name of the moment if it was me. My least favourite is Margot, though I'm probably the only one on mumsnet that isn't quite so keen. I do like Maggie. Anna, Elena and Julia are particularly nice I feel and Zoe has a bit of zest.

Like Anna, Julia and Zoe.
Meh to the others. Particularly Isabelle. Far too many.
lots of Margots being born. I know four.

Prefer Cara to Clara and Rosa to Rose.

I like:

Anna
Clara
Emilia
Isabelle
Julia
Margot
Rose

Though Isabels/Isabellas of all spellings are ten a penny right now, I have to admit.

Of all of your choices, I like Anna and Julia best.

My vote would go to Zoe, short and sweet with a nice meaning, really dislike Anna, Emilia, Julia and Margot but the rest are fine

I love Julia as it’s not used much atm. Margot is very popular.

I actually love Elena.
