These are pretty! My favourites are Sylvie, Aurelia, Cassandra. Not keen on Elara, Dahlia, Danica.

20viona · 16/01/2023 15:09

Violet or Elara for me. Lovely.

DurdleSnore · 16/01/2023 15:18

Violet and Eliza are my faves.

Smileandtheworldsmileswithyou · 16/01/2023 15:22

Eliza!

Hadtocomment · 16/01/2023 15:28

The ones I really like are Cassandra and Josephine. I like the long names and the short names Cass or Cassie and Jo or Josie too.

After that maybe Violet, Eliza and Cassia although they do seem to be mentioned a lot on here so I don't know if that means there's a lot of them about at the moment. I wonder if Eliza will date a lot as there seems to be chosen versions of Elizabeth for every era. Just like Liz was one generation and Liza and Lisa was the next and now Eliza (and there a lot of other Elle names right now).

Your list makes me think we have a mostly similar taste in names.

My favourites are Lorelei, Cassia, Elara, Coralie, Aurelia, Jasmine and Arielle.

I'm not a fan of Violet, Eliza, Josephine or Sylvia.

The rest I have no strong feelings over.
