Pleasseeeee help.

[Randomnamex]

Girl due soon. I have a massive list of names and I love all of them just as equally and I am unable to narrow them down.

Fae
Liona
Kassia
Willow
Inez
Ailsa
Holly
Seren
Brooke
Verity
Romy
Leesa
Phoebe
Spencer
Melody
Emelina
Ivy
Tate
Alva
Genevieve
Meadow
Elle
Nova
Jolie
Maribelle

I’m aware some of these might sound ridiculous to you but me and DP both love them

TIA 💕

The ones I like are: Fay (but not Fae), Seren, Ivy, Verity, Brooke, Romy
The ones I think are fine but wouldn't use myself: Willow, Inez, Ailsa, Holly, Phoebe, Melody, Meadow
The ones I really don't like: Liona, Kassia, Leesa, Spenser (for a girl?!), Emelina, Tate, Alva, Genevieve, Elle, Nova, Jolie, Maribelle

Given that we clearly have very different preferences, you might want to choose from the list I don't like!

I absolutely love:
Inez (prefer Inès spelling though)
Verity
Phoebe
Genevieve

Can’t stand:
Liona (looks like Lion, Iona is pretty though)
Spencer (idiot man off Made in Chelsea)
Leesa (Lisa trying to be yoonique??)
Emelina (looks made up and reminds me off Evelina children’s hospital)
Tate (Andrew 🤢)
Meadow (Soprano)

The rest are fine, just not massively my taste.

I had a whole answer to this typed and DS is just hopping from boob to boob every 5 seconds and deleted it

So condensed answer :

Ivy or Holly

Alva is lovely

The top 4 especially!!

Personal order of preference:

1. Spencer
2. Kassia
3. Seren
4. Tate
5. Ivy
6. Genevieve
7. Elle
8. Verity
9. Nova
10. Phoebe
11. Melody
12. Jolie
13. Liona
14. Inez
15. Ailsa
16. Brooke
17. Jolie
18. Emelina
19. Willow
20. Holly
21. Alva
22. Leesa
23. Fae
24. Maribelle
25. Romy

Emelina makes me think of Semolina

Very varied list there OP!

Fae - like but prefer it spelled Fay
Liona - not a fan but it's not bad
Kassia - no
Willow - no
Inez - no
Ailsa - LOVE - not a name you hear enough anymore imo
Holly - meh
Seren - like
Brooke - like
Verity - like
Romy - no
Leesa - would forever be having to spell it
Phoebe - like but getting popular
Spencer - sounds more like a boys name to me (I know in PLL there's a girl Spencer's but not a fan)
Melody - no too frilly
Emelina - no
Ivy - like
Tate - no the associations with Andrew Tate would put me off
Alva - no it's the name of a town
Genevieve - no
Meadow - no
Elle - really like but so many El names about now
Nova - love
Jolie - like
Maribelle* - no
*
My shortlist would be:
Fay, Ailsa, Nova, Jolie.

If you like Fae, would you consider Rae?
Josie for Jolie?

Romy is my favourite from them

I also like Remi/Remy and Wren/Renn

These are all lovely:
Cassia
Inez
Verity
Genevieve

So pick what goes best with your surname

Don’t use younique spellings, they are really naff and will drive her mad for life

Fae - no, it’s drippy enough spelt Fay
Liona - meh
Kassia - lovely spelt properly - Cassia
Willow - wet
Inez - love it
Ailsa - ok
Holly - meh and only for a Christmas baby
Seren - ok
Brooke - ok
Verity - love it
Romy - no, faddy
Leesa - It’s too early to revive Lisa, and it will blur with the endless Lola/Leila/Lara/Leah/Luna names
Phoebe - ok, popular
Spencer - don’t be silly, he’s an estate agent
Melody - no because she’ll be Mel
Emelina - ok, bit fussy - it’s Emmelina I suppose as it’s Emmeline
Ivy - nice but popular
Tate - don’t be ridiculous
Alva - 1960/s depressed barmaid
Genevieve - lovely
Meadow - silly
Elle - way overdone - she’ll be one of a zillion Ellies
Nova - meh

Jolie - silly and what if she isn’t pretty? (Or jolly for that matter)
Maribelle - sounds like processed cheese

My favourite eight, inspired from your list ..

Phoebe
Inez
Ellen
Leonor
Lisa
Holly
Mariella
Genevieve

I like and would only use:
Cassia
Inez
Phoebe
Genevieve

Fae - I don't like it
Liona - I don't like it, I like Leonie alternatively
Kassia - I don't like it, I like Cassy/Cassie alternatively
Willow - it's alright but has grown too popular/overused in the past few years
Inez - quite like this
Ailsa - not keen. Wouldn't know how to pronounce it properly?
Holly - it's alright
Seren - it's alright
Brooke - LOVE
Verity - don't like it, feels uptight to me
Romy - really like this
Leesa - not keen. Would potentially grow on me as a name coming back around again if spelled Lisa (although I'm still not sure if it's ready for a comeback)
Phoebe - classic, always like this one
Spencer - love this on a girl but I got some controversial comments when I considered it
Melody - quite like this
Emelina - really don't like this
Ivy - LOVE
Tate - LOVE, again got some controversial comments when I considered it for a girl too
Alva- would grow on me
Genevieve - only like this for the nickname Ginny
Meadow - I want to like this but always feels a bit too 'try hard'
Elle - LOVE
Nova - LOVE
Jolie - LOVE
Maribelle - no

My top 3 would be Seren, Phoebe and Jolie

to help you shorten it I have given fairly brief feedback

Fae Dislike the sound
Liona Dislike, though do like Leoni
Kassia nice, also like Alexis
Willow nice
Inez not unless you are Spanish
Ailsa nice
Holly nice
Seren nice
Brooke dates
Verity dated but nice
Romy dated but nice
Leesa dislike
Phoebe like
Spencer it’s a boy’s name
Melody dislike
Emelina dislike
Ivy dislike
Tate name of a horrible sounding man in the news
Alva name of a town
Genevieve like
Meadow not a name
Elle dated
Nova okay
Jolie dated
Maribelle dislike

Verity Jolie would be lovely.

Isn't Alva a baby eel?

Ahh, a baby eel is an elver.

Your list is VERY similar to mine. We settled on Spencer in the end. If I’d been alone I think I would have gone for Seren or Thea or Sloane (but I had to take DH views into account!).

Can we have a baby together? They’d be beautifully named and would be much easier then agreeing one with DH 😂

I think
Ailsa
Holly
Verity
Phoebe
Ivy
Genevieve
Are all lovely and not too common names. I love Ivy and Verity particularly.

Alva- do you mean Alvia?
I also wasn't sure if one was meant to be Emmeline? That's a nice name.
Serena is a nice name, Seren sounds too much like serum to my ears.

And I think Nova and Tate are not great to be honest.

You really do have quite a mix on your list! Good luck deciding!

Phoebe

This would be my shortlist

Romy
Phoebe
Spencer
Melody
Ivy
Meadow
Elle

I think these would be my final 3

Phoebe
Spencer
Elle

But I loooove meadow but I'd might save for a dog cos I just can't imagine an adult with that name but I love it

Holly is the only one I really like.

I think naming a girl Spencer (or Tate) is a bad choice unless you live somewhere VERY inclusive and multi cultural.

My shortlist from your OP would be:

Holly
Romy
Evelina
Alva
Ivy

Sorry, my phone autocorrected Emelina to Evelina.
