I like Clara and Cerys.

1994girl · 11/12/2022 12:48

Rosie is the only one I'd go for on there

Junebug22 · 11/12/2022 12:49

Love Phoebe and Matilda. Arabella is quite a mouthful so I’d be prepared for NN especially when she reached high school. Ottilie has really grown on me but I think is becoming very popular due to Zoe Sugg (influencer) -I never think that should stop you using a name you love though. If we’d had a girl Olivia would’ve been a top pick for me and there are 3 Olivias at one of our baby classes!

YourMommaWasASnowblower · 11/12/2022 12:51

Emma, Lucy, Matilda, Phoebe and Rosie are my favourites from your list.
I really don’t like Aurora, Clara, Connie, Mariella and Rosanna.

Mischance · 11/12/2022 12:52

Not Ottilie, definitely.

Connie and Rosie are nice.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/12/2022 13:13

Also hate Clara pronounced Cl-Ah-Ra. However I love Cl-Air-ah. My names Clare and I despise it.

Love Zara.
Prefer Cara to Clara and Roseanne to Rosanna.
Heidi and Emma are ok.
Don't like the others.

Pemba · 11/12/2022 14:14

I don't really like Ottilie, although I know it's becoming popular. Just don't like the sound I suppose. And Heidi is a bit cutesy and twee, you imagine a perky little girl with pigtails and freckles which is OK I suppose, but not later on for a grown woman.

The others are all nice.

dancingqueen123 · 11/12/2022 14:20

I like Cerys, Polly & Zara.

Magicbears · 11/12/2022 15:06

Amelie - no, too similar to overused Amelia
Annabelle - no
Arabella - too frilly dislike
Aurora - no and becoming popular
Clara - like
Connie (not Constance) - like
Cerys - ok
Emilia - too similar to overused Amelia
Emma - dull
Heidi - like
Isabella - nice but overused
Jemima - like
Lucy - a bit dull
Matilda - becoming overused
Mariella - too frilly
Ottilie - really don’t like this and it’s very ‘now’
Phoebe - love
Polly - no
Rosie - pretty but v popular
Rosanna - will blend with other Rose names
Sophia - so overused
Zara - love

So I would go Clara, Connie, Heidi, Jemima, Phoebe or Zara

FearofQueefing · 11/12/2022 17:41

Many of these are a bit frilly for my taste. I loathe Arabella.

Think the following are all lovely though...

Amelie
Cerys
Emma
Heidi
Lucy
Rosie
Rosanna

BesidetheseasideXxx · 11/12/2022 17:50

Arabella Mariella Isabella and Ottilie are too much for me. I like all the others.

Polly and Lucy are sweet and not too common.

AdaColeman · 11/12/2022 18:03

Heidi is my favourite.
I also like Clara Matilda Mariella.

Ottlie is my least favourite.

I'd avoid Rosie Isabella, Sophia and all your A names as they have been extremely popular for years, so there will already be a lot of them.

mintdaisy · 11/12/2022 18:08

My favourites are Clara, Matilda and Jemima

pimlicoanna · 11/12/2022 18:09

I like Amelie, Emma and Sophia from your list.
