My girls list

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Nor sure what we are having yet but I'm looking for opinions on my girls list please

Hebe
Jocelyn
Agnes
Olive nn Livvy
Adeline /Adaline (pronounced add-uh-line)
Sibyl
Bryony
Astrid
Leonora nn Leo
Roberta nn Bobbie

Hebe - nice plant, hideous name for a child.
Jocelyn - not a fan
Agnes - ok, I know an "Aggie" so it's grown on me
Olive nn Livvy - nice
Adeline /Adaline (pronounced add-uh-line) - not a fan
Sibyl - awful
Bryony - dated and not in a trendy way
Astrid - awful
Leonora nn Leo - awful, sounds like you wanted a boy and couldn't think of any girls names
Roberta nn Bobbie - not a fan

Olive. Leonora and Roberta are ok

I mean they are all pretty ugly/weird, my sisters name is on the list spelt with an I though, the only normal name on there 🤣, her nickname is the male version of the name.

Roberta is the nicest but like Cybil (prefer this spelling)

I love the name Astrid. Hate Sibyl. Not sure on Jocelyn. And Hebe is awful. The rest are all lovely names. Although I find little girls called Bobbie a bit odd.

My favourites are Olive, Adeline, Bryony and Roberta.

I don't like Hebe, Agnes or Leonora.

The others are in the middle. Wouldn't it usually be Sybil rather than Sibyl?

I like Sibyl (this is spelling I prefer), Agnes, Bryony and Astrid.

Inspired by your list, I like..
Phoebe
Adele
Rosalind
Agnes
Agatha
Sibyl
Leonor
Astrid
Bridie
Rowena

Hebe- reminds me of having the heebie jeebies. Don't like it.
Jocelyn- like
Agnes- awful. Reminds me of Agnes Mooreheads character in bewitched- an elderly, grumpy witch!
Olive nn Livvy- like it, along with Olivia
Adeline /Adaline (pronounced add-uh-line)- don't like due to the multiple spellings and pronunciations
Sibyl- never seen it spelt like that and don't like that it sounds harsh somehow
Bryony- like
Astrid- like
Leonora nn Leo- 4 syllables so a real mouthful, esp if you have a longer surname. Don't like Leo for a nn.
Roberta nn Bobbie- don't like either name

They are all pretty horrific.

The only one I like is Livvy but don't like Olive. Jocelyn us best of the rest.

I like Olive, Adeline, Astrid and Bryony. Bryony is my favourite.

I think I’ve spoken with you before. If you’re the poster I’m thinking of, (our daughters have the same name beginning with an ‘E’) then I think Jocelyn pairs nicest without being matchy.

also love Meredith, Nancy, Francesca and Gabriella for the same reasons.

Hebe - geebies
Jocelyn - prefer Josceline
Agnes - ok
Olive nn Livvy - Olivia is so much nicer
Adeline /Adaline (pronounced add-uh-line) - awful. Add a line
Sibyl - ok
Bryony - a bit Bryan-y
Astrid - like
Leonora nn Leo - sounds like you really wanted a boy
Roberta nn Bobbie -Not keen

@ThePersistenceOfMammories yes we have! It's so hard as E isn't used lots as a name and my elder daughter was an even more underused name so I feel this baby needs an equally uncommon name too or it will seem a bit strange.

Olive and Bryony are absolutely lovely.

Dislike quite a few of these.

Hebe = jeebies
Agnes - just a horrible sound to it IMO
Adeline - not keen on any name with 'line' at the end tbh
Sibyl - not keen on Sybil and especially not with this spelling, just looks weird. (Perhaps this is a typo?)

Jocelyn
Astrid
Roberta are all OK, just not to my taste personally

I like Sibyl and Astrid
Quite like Agnes and Bryony
I'm not keen on the others

Adeline and Astrid are lovely and my favourites from your list.

Also really like Adaline and Astrid. I thought Jocelyn was a boys name?

How about Caroline or Helena? Much underused these days.

All pretty awful apart from Olive

I really like your list OP. Not a Matilda or an Evie in sight! Also my daughter's name is on there which is unusual. The only one I don't like is Agnes but the rest are good.

I like Astrid, Bryony and Adeline a lot but really not a fan of the others, sorry!
Hebe- reminds me of heebie-jeebies
Jocelyn- seems very dated, makes me think of Dave's mum from The Royle Family
Agnes- sounds very dreary to me
Olive - not a fan but I like Livvy as a nickname for Olivia!
Sybil- very Fawlty Towers imo
Bobbie and Leo just sound too masculine to me, prefer Robyn to Roberta or Leonie to Leo. Even Leonora, nickname Nora?

Bryony and Hebe are lovely. Not keen on the others unfortunately.

I like Adeline and Olive is ok. I really like Leonora but as a whole name, not Leo for a girl.

Hebe - Not keen
Jocelyn - I think it's lovely
Agnes - I actually like it but lots wouldn't
Olive nn Livvy - No. Go for Livia which I love or Olivia but not a food.
Adeline /Adaline (pronounced add-uh-line) - It's nice enough but only as Adeline
the other spelling is weird
Sibyl - God no
Bryony - Not for me
Astrid - Beautiful!
Leonora nn Leo - It is lovely but I prefer Leonor and definitely not Leo for a
nickname, not for a girl. Nora is pretty
Roberta nn Bobbie - I just really dislike this
