@miniaturepixieonacid
Thank you. Some great options. Brontë has just become a front runner

I think you should let it fall at the fence

Sasha is nice, I personally prefer it as a nn for Alexandra or Saskia, but either way it’s elegant and not overdone

Scarlett was my baby name if I had have had a girl. I absolutely adore it.
It's bold and beautiful ♥️

I like Saskia as suggested by a PP.

Your names don't (to me) seem to have much in common with each other, so it's hard to guess what else you might like! Are you looking for a sort of international appeal? Nina, Lara, Julia, Eloise?

Incase anyone was wondering. We have named our daughter
Eloisa Anais

Thanks to all that have their input

My opinions

Scarlett - Beautiful
Sasha - I like it, it’s a little different but not unheard of
Portia - not keen on this, I think of a Porsche and I don’t think it’s as nice as the other names
Dulcie - I don’t like it, I prefer Darcy which is similar sounding and doesn’t remind of ice cream
Ottilie - I think it sounds pretentious and not a pretty name. I think of an otter.

Scarlett or Sasha are your best choices

Yokaiwatch · 18/04/2024 10:07

@namedilemma45 i just noticed your update. Congratulations. Beautiful choice

The only one I like is Dulcie.

Portia always sounds a bit stodgy to me. Ottilie is too frilly. Sasha a bit dull and Scarlett seems to have had its moment and already feels a bit dated.
