In order of preference:

Best: Anya/Anwen
Seren
Lena

Lila

Worst:
Verity
Tessa

Hallie - doesn't even sound like a proper name to me....

Anya and Anwen are both stunning.

Verity - i just don't love virtue names, sorry. All seem prissy and Victorian.
Hallie - reminds me of the Lindsay Lohan parent trap. I actually quite like it.
Tessa - nice
Anya - quite like it
Kaia - also quite like
Seren - nice
Lena - my favourite on your list
Lila - not a fan
Cara - quite like it
Anwen - quite like it

I think Anwen just pips it but I love Verity

Tessa is very nice too

ShoesoftheWorld · 01/12/2023 20:29

Cara is my favourite - it's really lovely - closely followed by Verity. Tessa's sweet, and I like Seren. Not keen at all on the others.

Lilah is lovely, so is Seren.

Would choose Tessa - my favourite - but also like Kaia.

Itsnearlythattime2023 · 02/12/2023 21:43

I’ve got a Halle not Hallie, as in Berry! Mines 6, I like it because there isn’t many about but it’s not too out there! Kaia is lovely and Cara too! Tessa sounds like an animal name to me no offence OP!

OopsieeDaisy · 02/12/2023 23:10

Definitely Cara!

3springersandababy · 04/12/2023 19:50
