Our list - please comment

[suzettenoisette]

I'd really appreciate comments on our list. We've changed it a bit.

Eva-Marie
Karina
Isabelle
Chloe
Lenora
Astra
Isabella
Eva-Maria**
Madison

*I know it doesn't fit our style. I have a soft spot for it due to personal associations but I don't like Maddie. I was thinking to use this as a middle name. It goes nicely with Isabelle, in my opinion, and Isabella. Not so much with Eva-Marie.

**Used to be our favourite but after practicing to call it etc. we're just starting to prefer Eva-Marie more and more as it's much easier to say and call.

*I love the meaning of this, but a bit worried it's too weird. Astrid seems to be getting more popular, though.

Oh sorry. I tried to explain something about some of the names by adding and and ** but the site turns them into italics. I hope it is still easy to understand.

Isabelle is my favourite, but I have one so I’m biased. Astra is ok but I just think of the car, same with Lenora, think of washing products. I don’t like hyphenated names, and the people I know who have them end up dropping the second name anyway. I don’t like the others.

Love Astra, Isabelle is nice. I like Eva on its own but not so keen on the hyphenated versions.
really like Astrid too if that is an option.

Astra gets a thumbs up from me!
If I had a girl I wanted Nova.. but I've had two boys so that went out the window. Shame.. might get a dog and call it Nova instead.

Astra or Karina.

Oooh, I like Astra and Karina .

Lenora is my favourite from the list.

I love Chloe. It's a classic and not really popular just now.

Isabelle/Isabella are nice if you're ok with them potentially being shortened to Izzy, Bella, Belle etc.

Not a fan of hyphenated names.

Astra reminds me of the car and Lenora of fabric softener. My friends DD is Lorena which I think is lovely.

Not overly keen on Karina. Kara is nicer I think.

I like Chloe.

I have a hyphenated first name and find it a bit of a pain. Some online forms don’t recognise or allow it but then passport etc has it. However there are loads of people with it who may not be bothered at all.

Lenora is too close to the fabric conditioner I’m afraid. Leonora on the other hand would be lovely.

I like Chloe and Karina

Like a pp I like Leonora rather than Lenora

I love Astra!

I prefer Astrid but out of your list I like Isabelle.

Eva-Marie - Eva and Evie are too popular. Too close to Ave Maria
Karina - OK but prefer Carina
Isabelle - overused
Chloe - overused about 25 yrs ago
Lenora - ok, a bit close to a product name
Astra - OK, prefer Astrid. Nice car.
Isabella - see Isabelle
Eva-Maria** - will get called Ava-Maria. See Eva-Marie
Madison - surname. dated

I like Karina best from your list. Karina Marie or Karina Madison both sound nice. Chloe is lovely as well.

Chloe or Karina

I'd post my thoughts but this poster read my mind.

Eva-Marie - Quite nice
Karina - Not keen
Isabelle - No, not a fan
Chloe - Outdated. Overused
Lenora - Hell no.
Astra - Nice car. NOT a name (IMO)
Isabella - Bit better than Isabelle, still not a fan
Eva-Maria. Not bad
Madison - I like it.

My thoughts too.

Karina and Isabelle are my favourites if I had to choose.

Isabelle is pretty, but quite popular. Astrid is beautiful, not too weird but not one you hear every day.

Chloe or Astra

Both are lovely but I actually like Eva-Maria more than Eva-Marie!

Karina - pretty, though I like Katarina even more
Isabelle - pretty, just so common
Chloe - pretty
Lenora - lovely, just not my style
Astra- LOVE

Madison - so so many Madison/Maddie's

I actually love Madison as a name, but from the others on your list Karina or Chloe. Chloe is a beautiful name imo.

Really dislike double barrelled first names.

Karina is beautiful.
Also like Isabella/Isabelle as I love nn Belle.

The only one I like is Isabelle to be honest.
Astra is strange to me for a child reminds me on astrology. Lenora is ok but prefer Nora. Eve Marie seems long and Eva Maria too religious.
