Phoebe Is my favourite, followed by Rose. Love them both! I also like Edie. Personally, I’m less keen on Amelia.

Amelia - mealy sound puts me off. Too popular
Phoebe - like, but don't like Phoebs
Rose - just a bit boring
Edie - too close to Evie. Makes me think of ED (erectile dysfunction)

Theoldwoman · 01/04/2024 14:47

I love the first three. Amelia is in my top ten.

Others I love are:

Alice
Kate
Ella
Charlotte
Zara
Genevieve
Lucille
Frances

YouMustBeHappyNow · 01/04/2024 15:02

Rose

Fifi80 · 01/04/2024 15:15

I just heard the name Maple which I find adorable. I like Frankie and Charlotte too.

Moreteaandchocolate · 01/04/2024 15:16

Rose - a lovely, simple classic - this would be my pick. I also love Rosa and Rosie.

Phoebe is nice but I’m of the generation who thinks of Phoebe from friends.

Amelia is often shortened to Milly, which I quite like but not sure for an adult.

Edie is nice but a bit nicknamey and I’m not keen on Edith (do you like Eden?)

Other ideas -

Alice
Lucy
Iris
Lilia
Abigail
Harriet
Georgia
Seren
Thea
Mabel
Clara
Imogen
Leonie
Ruby
Chloe
Layla
Eve
Zoe
Eliza
Annabel

Nicebloomers · 01/04/2024 15:16

Phoebe

Edie is nice but I’d go for a longer version with Edie as a nn. Edith or Meredith perhaps.

EmmaOvary · 01/04/2024 15:17

Rose and Phoebe were our 1 and 2 choices for girls (had two boys). Beautiful.

timoteigirl · 01/04/2024 15:38

I like Phoebe above the others listed.

Eleanor
Marianne
Martha
Ava
Isadora
Electra
Eliza
Milena
Minnie
Selene
Lavinia

Littleleopardlady · 01/04/2024 16:05

Phoebe

goldenretrievermum5 · 01/04/2024 16:22

Amelia is awful - it’s a medical condition meaning absence of limbs

Edie is too informal and nicknamey

Love Phoebe but Rose is my favourite by far - timeless, elegant classic

DontGiveADuck · 01/04/2024 16:48

There are sooooo many Amelias it’s so overused it’s become boring.

I really like Edie.

Mumofgirls2017 · 01/04/2024 17:17

Edie

charlottelovesnames3 · 01/04/2024 20:27

Amelia 100%!

EndoEnd · 01/04/2024 20:29

Love Edie

sarahsunny · 01/04/2024 20:30

Out of these I think Rose is the nicest and classiest.

Amelia is very overdone, I think it will become dated.

Phoebe and Edie are okay but less classy than Rose.

BananaSpanner · 01/04/2024 20:33

Amelia is very pretty but there are about 2 in every class at my daughter’s school.

BananaSpanner · 01/04/2024 20:36

I like Rose and Phoebe, don’t really like Eddie.

Love Amelia, Rose and Phoebe. Not so keen on Edie. Phoebe and Rosie are on our shortlist too.

lavagal · 01/04/2024 21:17

Phoebe or rose - the other two are really overused at the moment
