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!

I have a chloe so I'm biased, but I also like clara 🙂

I'm in France and have a Juliette and a Zoé.

I had Rosa, Rebecca, Zelda, Flora, Marie and Marianne on the list.

You've got a great list. I'd take the ones that work best with your surname and see what she looks like 😉

Anna- nice but I think it and it's variants are getting very popular (don't know if that bothers you)
Chloe- dated. Sorry!
Clara- nice, was unusual a few years ago but a huge spike in popularity might mean it dates quickly
Elena- Nice, good balance of classic but not too common if that makes sense?
Emilia- overdone.
Isabelle- a bit too popular and already started to date as have any 'belle' variants.
Julia- nice, romantic classic. Middle class vibes (again not sure if that bothers you)
Margot- super popular and I don't get why.
Rose- every child's current middle name.
Zoe- possibly my favourite along with Elena. More modern sounding.

Love Clara

Anna - everyone seems to love this name, imo it's plain and dated
Chloe - very 2000's, not a huge fan, not the worst name
Clara - pretty
Elena - pretty
Emilia -pretty, very popular rn though
Isabelle - eh
Julia - don't like this one
Margot - cute
Rose - dated
Zoe - not bad, but had a cat with this name
Marie/Maria - dated

Anna is far and away my favourite nn Annie.

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/12/2022 20:08

Zoe is my favourite by some way, with Julia in second and Anna and Maria in joint third - although prefer Emma to the last two, and it isn’t overused right now

Anna - nice classic. Or there is Annelise
Chloe - ok
Clara - nice, popular in the Uk
Elena - done to death in the Uk, so many Ellies…
Emilia - done to death in the Uk
Isabelle - done to death in the Uk. Christabel? isadora?
Julia - nice. Or Juliet, or Julianne/Julianna
Margot - super popular currently in the Uk, so I would at least give her Marguerite as a full name so she has options

Rose - done to death in its various forms in the Uk
Zoe - I like it - I’d go for that
Maria - prefer to Marie

  1. Anna
  2. Emilia
  3. Rose

Clara, Julia, and Margot feel very old fashioned

mumonherphone · 12/12/2022 11:39

Julia is an old lady name that hasn't made a comeback yet in the UK so I wouldn't. And I don't really like margot although I know it's popular.

The others are all OK, I think I would choose Anna or Elena
