I like Alice, the rest are a bit boring.

MrsHsGirl · 22/04/2023 10:51

Alice and Jessica are my favourites. Your list is similar to mine. I also like Emily

Ginger1982 · 22/04/2023 10:51

Lovely classic names.

Luredbyapomegranate · 22/04/2023 10:51

I like Emma - classic and quite lively
Quite like Jessica nn Jessie

Alice is overused right now
Isabel lovely but very overused

Hannah is alright - prefer Anna though

They are all lovely names.
think about the shortened versions as they will ultimately get used by someone.

YellowGreenBlue · 22/04/2023 11:06

Jessica is my favourite, followed by Alice.

KirstenBlest · 22/04/2023 11:14

Congratulations! The list is all classics, so none will date badly.

Alice - lovely
Jessica - nice but will probably be Jess
Isabel - too many Isabelle/Isabellas around. Will be Izzy
Hannah - nice
Emma - my favourite

In order: Emma, Alice, Jessica, Hannah

I like Alice and Isabel, prefer the Isabelle spelling though

Anewuser · 22/04/2023 11:22

All beautiful names. Everyone knows them so easy to remember and spell at school.

Least popular in our school, would be Hannah and Emma.

SummaLuvin · 22/04/2023 11:23

rather pedestrian

RobertaTheRotund · 22/04/2023 11:28

Emma is my favourite! Love it.

I also like Alice and Hannah is quite nice too.

They are all nice names. Last choice would probably be Isobel as there are so many children called Isobel, Isabelle and Isabella where I live.

fairycupcakes · 22/04/2023 11:32

Alice or Emma are my favourites on your list. They are all very classic though :)

WaltzingWaters · 22/04/2023 11:33

Alice

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 22/04/2023 11:34

Emma beautifully Classic & not too popular. Congratulations 💐

Theoldwoman · 22/04/2023 12:25

It’s not often I love every name on a list here but yours are all lovely!

Alice is in my top 5 now!

ourflagmeansdeath · 22/04/2023 12:27

Alice - It's nice but too common for me I think
Jessica - It's too old
Isabel - I love Isabel! Prefer Belle for a nickname to Izzy or just Isabel on its own is best
Hannah - It's okay, not much to say on it
Emma - I love Emma, it's absolutely beautiful.

So favourites are Isabel and Emma

JupiterFortified · 22/04/2023 12:32

I love Isabel but I do know of a lot of Isabels/Isabelles and it seems extremely popular so it depends if that bothers you or not.

I’m in a minority on here with Alice but I really can’t stand it. It just reminds me of the vicar of dibley.

My favourites on your list are by far Emma and Jessica :)

Lampzade · 22/04/2023 12:35

Alice

AfterSchoolWorry · 22/04/2023 12:36

I like Alice.

The others are just unremarkable.

Mumofgirls2017 · 22/04/2023 13:44

Alice. They are all classic but i find it the least boring for some reason

Bigtom · 22/04/2023 13:46

My favourite from your list is Emma.

Have you considered Sarah? Similar vibe to your other names.

namelessfornow · 22/04/2023 13:46

I love Alice, but also like Alix (maybe a version of Alex, not sure)

I also think Isabel (Isobel, for me) is really, really pretty sounding but I know a few and they are ALL referred to as Izzy.

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 22/04/2023 13:52

Jessica is very 80s but the others are timeless. I like Isobel and Hannah best.
