Honest opinions on these four baby girl names

[Havanalily1806]

Hi,

I've made a couple of posts in the past to help us find a name for our baby girl, they've really helped to narrow down our options and we think we may be ready to settle on a name.

Just to be sure, I'd we'd rather hear honest opinions now just based solely on our shortlist, as we're not sharing the names with anyone until she is born so reactions are difficult to gauge.

Any opinions good and bad are welcome 🙂 we want to make sure there's nothing negative as well that we haven't already thought of.

Shortlist : Callie, Erin, Raine, Nova.

Thank you 😊

I think Callie and Erin are lovely.

Erin is the nicest

Callie, Erin, Raine, Nova

Callie and Erin are lovely names.

Raine and Nova are more appropriate to name horses.

Erin

Callie- OK. But it’s better if short for something.
Erin -OK if you have Irish links.
Raine -no.
Nova -no, horrid.

like others, I think Callie and Erin are lovely names. not so keen on the others.

I think Callie is the nicest sound, but I'm a big believer in letting the baby choose/develop into themselves so would offer a longer name.
From a previous MN post for Callie;
Calliope means beautiful voice
Callista means most beautiful
Calantha means beautiful flower
Callia means beautiful

Not so keen on Raine.
I've personally only heard of Nova from The Archers or Vauxhall Nova
Callie sounds like a nickname for Caroline (Caroline is nice though)
Erin is my favourite from your list.

Callie - lovely
Erin - great! My favourite.
Raine - not so keen.
There was a Vauxhall Nova. - Nova in Spanish means doesn't go I think. It was a case study in business gcse

Callie - nice
Erin - lovely
Raine - awful
Nova - ancestor of the Vauxhall Corsa

I like Erin and raine the most. But raine does make me think of princess dianas stepmother. It’s pretty besides that association though. I don’t like Callie unlessshort for Caroline which is such a pretty name IMO

Love Erin and Raine. Callie is lovely if it's short for something, not a fan just on it's own. Nova just makes me think of TIMs, it's a popular chosen name for them.

I agree with others.

Erin, lovely
Callie, nice

The other two, I don't like

Nova makes me think of the car, Raine works as a middle name but I don't like it as a first name. The other two are nice.

You do not need to have Irish links to use the name Erin ffs. I am so sick of reading that on here.

Raine makes me think of a depressed, melancholy soul

Nova is the only one I'd consider.

Erin - lovely, definitely the best
Callie - OK as a shorter version of something else

Raine and Nova - big no to both

Which is odd as I quite like a rainy day. But every time I read "Raine" that is what comes to mind.

Callie - no. Sounds incomplete and reminds me of callipers.
Erin - absolutely lovely.
Raine - no.
Nova - definitely no.

I like Erin and Callie.

Raine makes me think of acid as per Diana’s stepmother’s nickname and Nova is a car/hippy dippy.

I really like Erin.

Raine shoulds depressing and Callie seems unfinished or something.

With Nova, I just now have the lyrics to Oasis's Champagne Supernova in my head. I still think Nova would be my second choice.

I like Erin and Callie, though I might have Callie as a nickname.

Not keen on Raine or Nova.

Really like Erin. Not keen at all on the others. Callie is far too nickname-ish. If you were to give her Caroline or Calista or Calliope as a full name it would be different.

Callie - nice but feels like a nickname, like it should be short for something (Caroline, Calista, Catherine).

Erin and Raine - both wonderful beautiful names.

Nova - sounds like a science research project name, and she'll probably find people call her "No" for short which doesn't sound nice.
