Hello! I’ve narrowed down my girls name list to the below. Please could you rate them in order of preference and try not to be too harsh 😬

Dorie (after my grandmother, partner doesn’t like it though but it’s my fave 😭)
Rosie
Emma
Cassie
Eloise
Sophie

I like the names as they are and wouldn’t be putting longer versions on birth certs.

Rosie,
Sophie,
Eloise,
Cassie,
Dorie,
Emma

Would be my personal preference. Dorie is really cute and unusual but it did make me think of Dory. Could you use it as a middle name if your partner isn't keen to still pay tribute? If so I'd actually go Emma Dorie or Eloise Dorie so both names aren't ending with ie.

pink1173 · 13/08/2023 22:10

Eloise
Cassie
Emma
rosie
Dorie
Sophie

Lovely names. I think Eloise Rose would be a lovely name!

TVstolemyevenings · 13/08/2023 22:11

Dorie is the only one I really like!

TropicalTrama · 13/08/2023 22:12

Eloise is the only one I like.

ReadRum · 13/08/2023 22:13

Dorie the most interesting by far.
Eloise and Emma fine.

shoopshoopdedoo · 13/08/2023 22:16

Rosie
Emma
Cassie
Sophie
Dorie (if your partner doesn’t like it, would he agree to have it as the middle name?)

I love all your choices apart from Eloise, so it’s hard to rank them!

ladygindiva · 13/08/2023 22:24

Rosie very nice love it
Emma yawn
Cassie love this
Eloise love this, my favourite
Sophie too many of them

Olika · 13/08/2023 22:25

Only like Rosie and Cassie

Imhavingababy · 13/08/2023 22:27

Dorie - this is actually really quite cute
Rosie - like it, would be in my top 3
Emma - nice but a bit dull maybe
Cassie - lovely, top 3
Eloise - have never been keen on it, not sure why
Sophie - again, nice but a bit too classic maybe

I’d go Rosie or Cassie if your partner doesn’t agree with you on your favourite

OopsieeDaisy · 13/08/2023 22:29

Sophie is definitely my favourite from your list, but Dorie is cute and unusual. I like Rosie, Emma is ok, not keen on Elouise or Cassie.

Busubaba · 13/08/2023 22:32

Dorie (after my grandmother, partner doesn’t like it though but it’s my fave 😭) no. Sounds like the name of a fish, apologies to your grandmother.

Rosie - lovely.
Emma - boring.
Cassie - lovely. Prefer Cassandra.
Eloise - Beautiful.
Sophie - ok

WanderingWitches · 13/08/2023 22:39

Is Dorie pronounced Dorry or Dory?

Alloveragain3 · 13/08/2023 22:41

Eloise
Sophie
Emma
Cassie

All classic and pretty.

Not a fan of the others, sorry.

sunflowerdaisyrose · 13/08/2023 22:41

Sophie
Rosie

(Love these two)

Emma
Cassie

(Quite like)

Don't like Eloise or Dorie

Don't like the others, sorry!

TheWayoftheLeaf · 13/08/2023 23:39

Eloise
Sophie

Cassie

Rosie
Emma

The gaps are drops of preference.

TheWayoftheLeaf · 13/08/2023 23:39

Oh sorry. Put Doris under Eloíse

TheWayoftheLeaf · 13/08/2023 23:39

Dorie* ffs

continentallentil · 13/08/2023 23:43

Emma

The rest either overdone right now or I don’t like them as full names

CafeNervosa · 13/08/2023 23:46

Dorie
Emma
Cassie

but I think Dorie is really great. So many girls with those other names so they’re a bit bland. Dorie isn’t bland, I’d remember a Dorie if she were in my daughters class and think it was a really interesting name!

GLmum · 13/08/2023 23:48

I like Eloise, Sophie and Cassie but none of the others.
