Lily, Anna, Emma, Ada, Daisy.

I don't mind popularity. Suggestions welcome.

Lily - has been very popular for a long time, a bit twee.
Anna - like it
Emma - would use it, but it was very popular in the 1970s
Ada - programming language, Ada Lovelace, lots of Avas, Edies etc. A bit samey
Daisy - ok but twee and popular

Lily, Anna, Emma, Ada, Daisy.

All solid names. I like Daisy best followed by Anna.

jamsandwich1 · 09/01/2024 20:58

I love Daisy! If I was to have another DD she’d be Daisy.

Chaiandtoast · 09/01/2024 20:58

Lily - fine
Anna - classic but a bit frumpy imo, I’m sure plenty would disagree though
Emma - nice, classic.
Ada - I know a couple, I really like it
Daisy - bit too twee for my taste

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/01/2024 21:01

Yawn yawn twee except Ada, which is great.

PickledScrump · 09/01/2024 21:04

Daisy is my favourite closely followed by lily.

Anna is nice.

Emma I find so dull, feels very 90s.

Ada I really don’t like

Onelife2024 · 09/01/2024 21:08

All lovely names - Emma and Anna are perfect names imo - pretty, classic, easy to spell, not faddy, suit all ages from toddler to adult, don’t ever sound dated. And don’t need to be shortened.

Ada - is nice and short and good for all age groups.

Lily is nice too - slightly more “girly” but I think it will sound fine for an adult when all the little Lily's grow up!

Daisy doesn’t pass the test of me being happy to be called it as an adult

dawnofthenugget · 09/01/2024 21:08

Emma is lovely

MissedItByThisMuch · 09/01/2024 21:16

All fine. I personally really dislike Ada and somewhat dislike Lily, but have no good reason for that and they’re perfectly normal names!

I love Anna, Emma and Daisy though and think Daisy works perfectly well for an adult.

OopsieeDaisy · 09/01/2024 21:30

All nice names, my favourites are Daisy and Anna.

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/01/2024 21:42

Daisy 🥰

anna and Ada second choice

Twoshoesnewshoes · 09/01/2024 21:51

Like all of them, especially Anna and Lily, except Daisy
i would not want to be called Daisy as an adult

Riverlee · 09/01/2024 21:52

Don’t like Ada. The others are equal for me.

theduchessofspork · 09/01/2024 23:23

I like Emma and Anna, would probably go for the former as less popular right now

Ada I find quite harsh for some reason. Daisy and Lily I think are wet

All lovely, apart from Daisy which is a bit too twee for me.

ForensicFlossy · 09/01/2024 23:42

Daisy and Lily are wet.

Love the others

MaloneMeadow · 09/01/2024 23:47

The only ones I like are Emma and Anna. Both lovely, classic and due a reboot. The Emma and Anna in my life are both fabulous, well rounded people though so I may be biased!

Lily & Daisy I find very twee & boring. Alright for a dog

Ada is fine but not a huge fan due to old lady vibes

DuchessOfSausage · 10/01/2024 12:26

@MaloneMeadow , they don't need a reboot because they never went away.
Agree with you otherwise.

NachosAndCheese · 10/01/2024 12:42

Anna and Emma.

I know you said you don’t mind popularity but Lily is everywhere. Especially if you’re thinking of using the filler middle names of Rose/Grace/May which all girls have. There are so many Avas, Ivys and Evies and Ada just gets lost in that. I also don’t like it, too old ladyish. Daisy is twee.

Watchthedoormat · 10/01/2024 12:44

I absolutely love Anna.
I will also suggest another timeless classic - Alice.

susanrosebush · 10/01/2024 13:03

Alice is fab ↑

Sockmate123 · 10/01/2024 13:20

Emma. Elegant and classic. Others too twee and don't like Ada at all

CharlieBoo · 10/01/2024 18:42

Lily.. extremely popular.. that and Isla are everywhere but nice name
Anna .. Really like, slightly boring to me though
Ada.. feels faddy
Emma.. Really like, unusual these days but simple and elegant.
Daisy.. LOVE .. so pretty

ALunchbox · 10/01/2024 18:45

I am not keen on Daisy but like the others.
