Girl name help!

[LondonGirl1992]

Which name do you all prefer?

Ornella (Nell for short) or just Nell
Maeve
Bonnie
India
Esther
Margot
Beatrix

Any help appreciated!

Nell

Maeve

Ornella is sweet and different.
Ornie is not as nice as Nell.
India and Beatrix would be my other faves.

Suggestions you might like ..
Aster
Helen

Maeve, Bonnie or esther

Esther or Nell
Prefer Beatrice to Beatrix
Maeve, Margot and Bonnie are a bit too trendy
India too colonial
Ornella is a bit too different and lots of -ella and -elle names are popular

I'll throw in Cornelia and Margarita

Love Esther and Bonnie.

Ornella (Nell for short) or just Nell. - I like Nell but I read the RN as an M. Don't like.

Maeve - like
Bonnie - very twee. Fine on a young child, or a golden retriever, less so for an adult.
India - bit hippy for my tastes. Overdone.
Esther - harsh sound but I don't hate^^ it
Margot - far too common
Beatrix

Sent too soon.

Beatrix I love. Favourite from your list.

Nell but never heard of Ornella and not sure about it. But Nell itself is lovely

I love Esther - simple, pretty, nice for all ages, not trendy or over used at the moment

Maeve is my second favourite - also simple, pretty, nice for all ages, but depends if you mind it being quite trendy at the moment

Beatrix is nice - Bea is a sweet nn, not sure what I’d shorten it to as an adult / teen?

Margot - it’s nice, but feels a bit “of the moment” if you don’t mind that?

Bonnie - I wouldn’t like to be called this as an adult

India - some colonial issues

Ornella (Nell for short) - sorry I’m not keen on this. I like Penelope or Helena to get Nell as a nn?

Nell, Bonnie or Beatrix

1. Esther
2. Beatrix
3. Maeve - just think a lot of people will struggle to say it properly…

Ornella (Nell for short) or just Nell… nope
Maeve
Bonnie… as a nickname cute but not a full name
India …. No it’s a country not a name
Esther… favourite
Margot… will age quickly
Beatrix… second favourite

There was a lady recently on mumsnet called India who felt embarrassed by her name due to the colonial ties which I thought was an interesting viewpoint

Maeve and Esther are my favourites I don't like Margot for some reason or Bonnie which to me doesn't sound like a name I can take seriously. I have never heard of Ornela but Nell is nice .The others are Ok
But that's just my taste.

Maeve is my favourite but I love India as well.
Margot is nice but will probably date quite quickly as it’s so popular at the minute. Not a fan of Beatrix as it feels very story book but I absolutely adore Beatrice. Esther is just alright

Ornella/Nell is awful. Reminds me of an elephant! Bonnie I find very cringey and twee

Nell or Esther

Bonnie

Esther.
No more Margots please!!

Thanks so much for all to the help all! I think we are between India (Indy/Indie for short) or Maeve now!

Definitely Maeve!

India has quite colonial associations if you aren’t of Indian heritage, so I’d go for Maeve of the two

… although personally I like Esther

Re Ornella or Nell for short.
Nell is also short for Eleanor or Fenella
I love Maeve but not sure that is gaining in popularity so there might be a few others of the same age.

Bonnie and Beatrice.

Of the two, I’d go with Maeve.
Maybe choose India if you love the country?

Alternatively, I think Esther is lovely and I like Beatrice (nn Bea).

Personal order of preference -

1. India
2. Maeve
3. Nell
4. Beatrix
5. Bonnie
6. Margot
7. Ornella
8. Esther
