Isobel. I’m not keen on the others.

getoutof · 31/12/2022 18:25

Violet and Isabelle are nice. The rest are varying degrees of awful.

NapoliTutti · 31/12/2022 18:26

Violet is nice the rest are a bit faddy…

murasaki · 31/12/2022 18:26

Only Isobel. Possibly Lilah but why not Leila. The rest are not nice. Do you mean Delilah?

Fivemoreminutes1 · 31/12/2022 18:32

I like Violet best.
Neveah is a bit gimmicky and Delyla - wtf? Just spell it Delilah unless you want you and your daughter to FOREVER be spelling it to people and dealing with misspellings.

MerryChristmasTree · 31/12/2022 19:25

Nevaeh is bloody awful. It’s always followed by but ‘its heaven backwards’. We know, everyone knows, it doesn’t make it better. It’s terrible.

Delilah. Why would you make up a spelling? You can’t then moan that everyone gets the spelling wrong.

Isobel is the best. Or Lila.

Lila (not Lilah) is lovely, as is Violet. Isobel is nice but not overly keen personally. The rest are imo awful.

Rauha · 31/12/2022 19:31

Violet and Isobel are nice.

This. If you’re going to use Delilah spell it properly. The others are awful.

SavouryFlavour · 31/12/2022 19:45

Violet and Isobel.

RambamThankyouMam · 31/12/2022 20:08

They're all hideous.

SpringIntoChaos · 31/12/2022 20:11

Fucks sake! 🤦‍♀️

Violet and Isobel...fine!

The rest are simply ridiculous!!

ofwarren · 31/12/2022 20:16

Linly - I'm not keen
Delyla - Definitely not spelt like that. Delilah is fine though
Nevaeh - Dreadful
Lilah - OK but better as Leila

Violet - Nice
Isobel - Nice

thefiddlerselbow · 31/12/2022 20:53

I know a Delilah - her nn is Dilly. It's a cute name. But you could call her Lila/Lilah for short.
Violet is nice too.
Isabelle is a spelling I prefer.

I really don't like the rest.

Linly
Delyla
Nevaeh
Lilah
Violet
Isobel

Linly - just no
Delyla -just spell it Delilah, that weird spelling won't make her more unique
Nevaeh - trashy
Lilah -nice
Violet and Isobel -nice, classy names

clearlyclelia · 31/12/2022 21:29

Linly - very cute, I kind of like it!
Delyla - should be spelled Delilah!
Nevaeh - nooo
Lilah - prefer spelling Lyla
Violet - lovely!
Isobel - prefer Isabelle

Duttercup · 31/12/2022 21:35

I mean...it picks up towards the end!?

KnottyKnitting · 31/12/2022 21:45

Please don't spell a lovely name with an alternative spelling it just looks awful. I know of a girl with a beautiful Russian name with a made up spelling and it looks utterly ridiculous- as though the parents couldn't spell!

Linly- just no- perhaps Lynn or Lynette
Delyla- Delilah
Nevaeh- Neve or Niamh
Lilah- Lila
Violet- lovely
Isobel- lovely or Isobella? ?

BlueSuffragette · 31/12/2022 21:52

Isobel or at a push Violet. The rest are awful.

NewYearNora · 31/12/2022 21:53

Eleonorex · 31/12/2022 18:23

sorry, written Delayla, not Delyla!

If you can't spell it, what chance does anyone else stand?
I like Violet and don't hate Isobel - but wouldn't consider any of the others with their convoluted spellings.

IET · 31/12/2022 21:58

Violet, Isobel and Delilah (spelt Delilah) are fine.

Of those, I like Isobel the most. It's a bit more solid, classic and less likely to date badly. It is very well used, but so are Violet and Delilah/Lilah.

I don't like Linly or Nevaeh, but they're not offensively bad or anything. Nobody is going to recoil in horror when they hear them or anything.

I love the suggestion of Niamh.
