Please help us pick a girls name!

[Bobbycat123]

Hello,

Please help us pick a name for our baby girl (due any day now!)

We have narrowed it down to the shortlist below but really struggling to decide.

Would really appreciate your honest thoughts on these names. Which is your favourite?

Nina
Orla
Ella
Eleni
Elodie
Zoë
Zelié

Many thanks in advance x

Elodie is my favourite
Also like Orla

Nina

Followed by Ella and Zoe

Good luck for your baby's arrival

Balonze

Favourite is Elodie

Ella or Zoe. Elodie is okay but a bit wet. I don't like the others.

Nice list!

Nina is great, quite trendy amongst the hipster crowd, but that's not necessarily a bad thing

Orla got popular a few years ago and I still hear it quite a lot. It's fine, but not exciting

Ella is, if I'm honest, a bit dull, but not a bad name

I haven't heard Eleni before, but I like it. Is it from a non British culture?

Elodie is the only one I dislike - it's very Mumsnet 😂

Zoe is great

Zelie is very cool

How bothered would you be if people messed up/forgot the accent?

Ella or Zoë (would spell Zoe unless different heritage that would support the ë).

Zelié is lovely, a little bit different compared to the others. I also like Eleni.

Nina (one of my absolute faves) then Orla.

Nina
Eleni
Elodie

Elodie (wanted to make my baby but had a son)
Nina is gorgeous

I think you have a good shortlist
Nina - I like a lot, similar vibe to Anna but a bit more interesting IMO
Orla - too close to oral
Ella - so boring I’d cut this from your list
Eleni - I like this a lot, Leni is such a cute nn.
Elodie - nice enough
Zoë - I like, nice meaning too.
Zelie - there’s not many Z names I don’t like, this is lovely. Shouldn’t the accent be above the first e though?

Nina, love that name.

How do you pronounce Zelié?

I know how it should be pronounced, but wondered how it's actually pronounced.

elodie. or melodie.

Zelie is my favourite (don't know how to do accents on my phone, sorry) but I like them all except Orla.

Zoe.

Love Zelie and also Zoe.

Not keen on the rest of your list.

Agree with PP, the accent should be over the first E in Zelie. Otherwise, you would pronounce it Zel-ee-AY.

So is Zelie- Zaylee. Because that's actually lovely I've never heard it before: but wouldn't know how to pronounce properly. It's hard to add an accent because they aren't really part of the language

Zoe
Nina

Hi! Congratulations on your baby! Ella, Zoe or Nina are nice names

Elodie

Nina is my favourite. Good luck with your new arrival x

Orla
