Piper 10/10 my personal fave!!

Sorry Violet was meant to be 10/10!!

I like Maeve, Ivy, Sloane, and Violet

Maeve, Erin or Elowen, but only pronounced the correct way.

Maeve and Violet are lovely names.

The other names are not for me. I think Sloane could attract bullying.

The names personally make me think...Aurelia - that girl off Love ActuallyWillow - mmm overused but very prettyMaeve - Maeve BinchyMaeva - as aboveHeidi - the little Swiss girl or cowsIvy - Christmas Erin - fond of this Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) - parents are Lord of the Rings nerds - good or bad depending on who you are I guessSloane - NOAzalea - Azalea BanksViolet - prettyPiper - incredibly American

Aurelia - too like areola!
Willow - faddy and insubstantial
Maeve - lots and lots of these atm. This and Margot. Short for Mavis.
Heidi - nice enough
Ivy - dull
Erin - love it
Elowen - no
Sloane - ranger? God no
Azalea - no. And definitely wouldn't suit a less than dainty person
Violet - no
Piper - no. In the same vein as Harper.

Aurelia - OK, but for some reason I don't like it as much as I feel I should (I like vowelly names ending in -a otherwise)
Willow - don't like this
Maeve - like it
Maeva - is it a 'legitimate' (for want of a better word) variant?
Heidi - this has grown on me recently
Ivy - nope
Erin - think this is my favourite
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) - not pronounced the wrong way
Sloane - urgh, no, just no
Azalea - no
Violet - don't understand why this has become so popular
Piper - no - my second least favourite after Sloane

Aurelia - really dislike this. It’s characterless and Disney princessy.
Willow - ok but a bit wet
Maeve - not to my taste but a decent name.
Maeva - no.
Heidi - dislike.
Ivy - lovely but overused these days.
Erin - bit bland but nice enough.
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) - pronounced the correct way this is quite nice.
Sloane - absolutely not.
Azalea - horrible.
Violet - I like this.
Piper - awful.

Love Heidi.

I don’t like any of the others worry. Ell-Owen is the worst. Also good point about Aurelia sounding like areola.

Nice - Erin, Piper
OK- Heidi, Maeva, Aurelia
Too common atm - Willow, Ivy, Violet
Just awful - Sloane, Azalea

Sloane is an awful name.

Love
Willow
Heidi
Elowen
Violet.

Really don't like the others at all.

Maeve/Maeva sounds a bit frumpy IMO
Sloane is a bit of an insult round my way. Think Sloane Ranger/Made in Chelsea vibes

If you can't pronounce Elowen correctly then don't use it.

Like Willow and Erin, Heidi is ok. Not too keen on the others though.

Aurelia 8/10 good choice
Willow 7/10
Maeve 4/10 reminds me of an older woman
Maeva 3/10 sounds like Ava with an M in front of it and blends into all the heavy vowel+V sounding names around
Heidi 8/10 lovely. Friendly sounding
Ivy 1/10 dislike a lot. Reminds me of an invasive plant or an IV drip. Also see above for overuse of vowel+V sounding names.
Erin 7/10 another good choice
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) 3/10 this would sound like El is owing somebody
Sloane 0/10 absolutely no
Azalea 6/10 I do like this more than I thought
Violet 4/10 I am not a fan of the t ending which is easy to drop to become Violoh
Piper 5/10 a bit indifferent about

I think if I had to choose one it'd be Heidi

Aurelia - nice but a bit fussy
Willow - like
Maeve - ok
Maeva - no
Heidi - like
Ivy - poison
Erin - boring
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) - like but pronounce properly or change spelling
Sloane - hell to the no
Azalea - nope
Violet - Willy Wonka
Piper - makes me think of many unpleasant things including thread worn treatment

Like:
Heidi

OK, just not my taste:
Willow
Violet
Maeve
Ivy
Erin

Don't like:
Aurelia - too frilly. Or-eel-ia or Or-ail-y-a?
Azalea
Maeva - Ava with an M
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) - I don't understand why you would do this

Don't like unless as surnames:
Sloane
Piper

Sloane 🙁makes me think of a sloth

Aurelia- love
Willow- love although worry will date
Maeve- like
Maeva- like
Heidi- like
Ivy- love but v popular
Erin- like
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O)- like, but may have prononciation issues

Sloane- no
Azalea- hm ok
Violet- not a fan but plenty are
Piper- love

i think Aurelia and piper are my favourites.

I like:
Violet
Aurelia
Ivy

Sloane - awful

All the rest - meh

Are you able to give on an indication of your surname - sounds like /similar to

I think it is important to consider both names together

Aurelia 3/10 a bit fancy for an every day name.
Willow 9/10 love it
Maeve 4/10 clunky
Maeva 2/10 really dislike
Heidi 7/10 nice
Ivy 6/10 nice if unspectacular
Erin 7/10 not very common these days
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) 8/10 very pretty
Sloane 3/10 strongly dislike this.
Azalea 1/10 no!!
Violet 7/10 nice
Piper. 5/10 nice but not my taste

I'd choose Willow or Elowen from that list.

OP you have very similar taste to me, several of these were on my shortlist!

Aurelia lovely, classic but was slightly put off by the sound 'oh really' within it. I'd still use it though.
Willow I think of the Buffy character. Good solid name.
Maeve don't like this. A granny knitting a quilt. Not sure how to pronounce and I don't think it looks nice written down.
Maeva made up and as above.
Heidi love this but slightly put off by the radfords using it
Ivy classic, not like other 'y' names imo
Erin a bit boring and dated.
Elowen (pronounced the “wrong” way - Ellowin, emphasis on El not O) pronounciaton problems
Sloane I wouldn't be brave enough. Only if American? Too Sloane ranger if near London.
Azalea lovely, probably my favourite flower name
Violet maybe more of a middle name due to some people not being able to pronounce the 't'
Piper I love this but it's associated with the piper alpha disaster
