In school what was the girl with in the - your mind - prettiest name

[Enko]

This is somewhat inspired by the resurrected prettiest girls name you know thread.

I wondered when you went to school what was the girl with the name you likes the most called?

I didnt grow up in the UK but for me her name was Karina. I thought her name was so pretty and unusual (it's a fairly normalish name for my generation in Denmark think top 50-100) but oh I had name.envy. grew out of it and Karina never even entered the consideration for my own children.😁

A girl came to my school from abroad and she was called Livia. I thought it was beautiful and still do

Gemma

Abigail

Catriona - met three in my classes during the years 1969 - 71
Still love it, but now wonder how it should be pronounced.

First one said Cat-tri-oh-na
But second two said. Catri-onna
First one had a long 'o', second two had short 'o's
Wanted it for my only daughter, but was overruled. Still not sure how we would have pronounced it, but either way it's beautiful.

Elisa, Jessica, Isabel, Katie (funny because I think it’s plain now)

Sylvana. Her mother was Italian. I had huge name envy!

Kendall.

I didn't consider it when naming my children.

I was at school with a Tabitha. Very unusual in the 1970s, surrounded as she was by multiple girls called Jane, Joanne, Michelle or Claire.

Primary Danika
Secondary Naomi

mainly because they were so different to all the Natalies, Sarahs, Gemmas & Claires!

Aurora

Lydia

Caro

Xanthe. Never met another person with that name. I also loved the name Francesca, and the various shortenings of it.
I was at school with what seemed like dozens of Helen/Jane/Claire/Sarah, so these 2 names seemed really unusual in comparison.

Anik
Ceri
Sasha

Serena - she was a few years above and beautiful, I thought it was the loveliest name ever!

Lois. This was in the early 80s when everyone else was a Wendy or a Tracey or a Julie or a Karen, so it was very unusual. I still think it's a classy and underrated name now.
