Isla - have grown to dislike simply because it's got so commonly used, there are Islas everywhere these days.

Lucy - it's a bit meh for me, neither like nor dislike it, it's ok.

Natalie - love this one, it's refreshingly uncommon, and it sounds pretty to say.

Evie - I do like it, but as with Isla, there are Evies everywhere, the popularity puts me off a little.

Sienna - I controversially prefer it spelled with one n, Siena, after the beautiful place in Italy. I really love this name, and also love Sia as a nickname.

As8ly4yn · 18/04/2023 19:49

Lucy - a classic and ages well
Isla - very pretty but popular
Sienna - same as Isla
Evie - love as a nn but not keen on it as a name in its own right
Natalie - seems dated

All are good options though, good luck deciding x

Love Lucy and Natalie (have a particular soft spot for Natalie)

Sienna is fine

Evie and Isla are too popular for me, but not offensive.

Marlena1 · 18/04/2023 19:55

Natalie
Evie
Sienna
Isla
Lucy

I think I like the first 4 an equal amount but always liked Natalie even though popular in my generation (40)

Mum463 · 18/04/2023 20:12

Sienna - like as it's a bit different
Isla - nice name, classy
Lucy - a classic
Evie - too many
Natalie -'harsh sounding

fairycupcakes · 18/04/2023 20:33

Isla - Pretty but painfully popular

Lucy - This would be lovely & refreshing amongst all the current “trendy” names. Lucia is also lovely ( Loo see a)

Natalie - Like the above this would be refreshing and I think it’s very pretty as is Natalia.

Evie- Dislike

Sienna - Cute but like Isla it’s so overdone

MyOtherUsernameIsDave · 18/04/2023 20:52

Evie couldn’t be more overused.

I love Isla but it’s soooo popular as is Sienna. Not a fan of Sienna.

I really like Natalie.

TeamSleep · 18/04/2023 20:55

I love Natalie the best. Natasha is a lovely name too. Isla and Lucy are my next favourites. Sienna and Evie are both nice but not to my taste.

PickledScrump · 18/04/2023 21:00

Isla- lovely, people say popular but I don’t know of many
Lucy- not a fan
Natalie- seems very dated
Evie- extremely popular
Sienna- also popular and around me falls into “chavvy” category

specialTea · 19/04/2023 08:18

Isla and sienna - chavvy sorry, both trendy seem made up non-traditional celeb-led names

Lucy and Natalie - 1990s names

Love Natasha Lucia natalia

FayCarew · 19/04/2023 09:56

Isla - nice but overused, also very similar to Lila/Lyla/Mila/Delilah. Will date badly
Lucy - nice but lots of similar names like Lily popular
Natalie - nice but seems a bit dated. Linked to Christmas
Evie - nice but far too overused and there are lots of Eve/Eva/Evelyn/Ava/Ivy names popular, which ruins it a bit
Sienna - not keen on it

Lucy is my favourite from your list

shoopshoopdedoo · 19/04/2023 11:12

Lucy - classic, not super popular, definitely my favourite from your list
Evie - like it, but prefer it as a nickname as is quite cutesy. Prefer Eva or Eve
Isla - nice but very popular
Natalie - don't personally love it, but it's a nice name and not too popular
Sienna - I really dislike this

WhatHoMarjorie · 19/04/2023 11:15

I like Natalie the best. It's a pretty name (when pronounced correctly i.e the T isn't dropped). Unlikely to be another one in her various peer groups growing up.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 19/04/2023 11:15

I think Natalie first, as it is less popular than the others.
I like Sienna
isla and Evie are lovely names but I agree they are very popular and will date.

user1492757084 · 20/04/2023 06:25

Prefer Lucy.
Like Sienna and Isla.
Natalie is fine.
Dislike Evie but like Eve

Mumofgirls2017 · 20/04/2023 09:04

Isla, Lucy or Sienna for me.

I find Evie very dull, Natalie dated.

PotOfTeaForOne · 20/04/2023 10:44

Isla - nice name but very popular. There are 4 in my niece's class.

Lucy - classic, pretty name, ages well, easy to pronounce and spell, not too popular. This is my pick as it's also on my list : ).

Natalie - nice name but bit of a mouthful and the nickname Nat isn't great. Personally I'm not a fan of names that start with a N as sounds a bit harsh when pronounced in English.

Evie - cute name but very popular atm. Also doesn't really sound like a "grown up" name if that makes sense - I couldn't imagine calling a colleague Evie.

Sienna - reminds me of a character in hollyoaks from years ago, and senna the laxative.
