Opinions wanted

[Brokebuthappy25]

Hi all!
I've got a list of names for a baby girl. Can I please get any opinions, favourites, or new suggestions!! Really struggling and only have a few weeks before she is born.

My list so far is:
Nancy
Evelyn
Ada
Esther
Edith

Help?!

i really like Enid at the moment (not having more babies)

I like them all apart from Evelyn

My favourites are Esther and Ada - not overused, great for all ages, short enough not to be regularly shortened, familiar and pretty but not twee.

I also really like Edith, nn Edie. Evelyn is lovely but there are so many Eve type names around atm.

Nancy is ok, just harder to imagine for an adult (although I’m sure I’d get used to it once I’d met an adult called Nancy!)

Other ideas -

Audrey
Hazel
Mila
Lyra
Martha
Mabel
Carla
Seren
Eira
Abigail

Nancy, Esther or Edith. Less common and lovely

They are all lovely. Nancy was not originally a standalone name, just a pet name for Anne/ Anna/Hannah etc. If you don't think Nancy is adult enough, then maybe one of those names, and Nancy in day to day life in the family, then she will have a choice whether or not to use it as an adult

Sorry I don't like any of them, but in the vein of those names Heather, Morna, Lillian/Lilias?

That's a list of my late great aunts names! All lovely. Nancy is my favourite.

Nancy - I like this best from the names on your list.
Evelyn - not to my taste, but underused. Possible pronunciation difficulties.
Ada - I don't like the sound of it.
Esther - not to my taste.
Edith - too much a part of the old lady name trend, will date badly.

I love them all. Ada and Esther are my favourites, with Ada coming first.

Nancy is my favorite. My nanna was a Nancy so I've always thought of it as a grown up name.

I like Edith as well.

Top for me would be Nancy and Edith

Ada

Evelyn is a top 10 baby name in the UK so I don't think it can be classed as 'underused'.

Remember there are very different ways to pronounce Evelyn, so think how much that would bother you / you think it would bother you if it were your name.

I'm not keen on Nancy.

The others are all nice enough - I think Ada and Edith are very much of the 'old lady names' fashion of the moment, so from your list my favourite is Esther.

From your list Nancy is my favourite by far - absolutely love it, very pretty and not too common either

Esther + Evelyn - nice but both a bit overused at the minute

Edith + Ada - really not a fan of the ‘old lady’ baby name trend, I agree with PP that they’ll date badly

Like them all except for Ada

Nancy.

I like Nancy the most,
I do like Ada but it autocorrects to Asda in my phone so whenever I see it I read it as Asda now

No it's not.

Although it is top 20, so not as underused as it once was!

Nancy - I really don't like this. No idea why, I just never have.
Evelyn - Quite like it. And like Eva, Evie and Evvy as shortened versions.
Ada - Like it. Probably prefer Ava but Ada is much fresher nowadays.
Esther - Like it. Very underused too.
Edith - Quite like like and really like Edie as a nn.

Other ideas:
Agnes, Alice, Astrid, Alma, Avis, Avril, April, Audrey, Bonnie, Betsy, Betty, Beatrice, Clara, Clarice, Cora, Dora, Diana, Delilah, Daphne, Dottie, DollElla, Ellen, Emma, Eileen, Enid, Eliza, Elsie, Esme, Florence, Frances, Faith, Grace, Greta, Hazel, Honor, Hester, Hope, Ida, Ivy, Iris, Jane, Joy, Jocelyn, Kate, Lily, Lydia, Libby, Lottie, Molly, Millie, Mary, Martha, Maisie, Maria, Margaret, Nellie, Nora, Olive, Opal, Pearl, Polly, Peggy, Penny, Posy, Queenie, Ruby, Rose, Rosa, Sally, Sarah, Sadie, Thea, Tessa, Theresa, Tilly, Una, Ursula, Victoria, Verity, Winifred

I'd go Esther or Nancy, both underused and classic.

Esther or Nancy.

Ada
Evelyn but would use Eve/Evie
Nancy

All are incredibly popular apart from Esther and Nancy. Esther is my favourite and was on our list. Great strong name that suits a child and adult.

I like Evelyn as ev-eh-lyn but you will also get ev-lyn and eve-lyn, also likely to be another eve/evie.

Edith had a huge boom in the last 10 years, there absolutely loads around where I live, most go by edie. Starting to feel dated.
