Of your names, I like Aurelia the best! Also like Alessia and Alyssa

FrancescaBridgerton · 10/05/2024 20:29

Aurelia

Riverlee · 10/05/2024 20:31

Melissa is lovely, and due a revival.

Monica - thus came to mind also.

Napolie · 10/05/2024 20:32

Aurelia could be twisted to Our Ear when she’s in school.

GoodVibesHere · 10/05/2024 20:32

I love Melissa. Also Melanie.

Els1e · 10/05/2024 20:33

Melissa is my favourite.

KirstenBlest · 10/05/2024 20:36

Adeline - awful
Aurelia - too 'princessy'
Melissa - lovely
Camilla - OK but I don't like Cam or Millie.

Heatedblanky · 10/05/2024 20:39

Melissa

WaltzingWaters · 10/05/2024 20:40

Adeline or Aurelia

MrsSkylerWhite · 10/05/2024 20:41

Aurelia is lovely.

Not telling you my favourite because it’s our daughter’s 😁

If we had had a second daughter, though, she would have been Marnie.

urbanbuddha · 10/05/2024 20:45

Camilla

KirstenBlest · 10/05/2024 20:46

@Monica1996 , long names starting with A seem very popular at the moment. They sort of blur into one. Amelia, Amelie, Annabelle, Aurelia, Aurora, Amaya, Anaya, Alaya etc.
It might be regional but the last 3 I mentioned seem popular where I am and I find them indistinguishable.

I'd suggest Madeleine, but Maddie seems inevitable.

I really don't like Meredith. It's horrible.

OnehundredStars · 10/05/2024 20:47

Of your choices I personally think Adeline is gorgeous and classy

I also like Eva, Cassie and Elise

Floralnomad · 10/05/2024 20:47

They are all nice except Adeline , what about Cressida

Mademetoxic · 10/05/2024 20:47

Aurelia is such a mouthful to say. Not nice. :(

Sunnnybunny72 · 10/05/2024 20:48

Aurelia is too like areola.

Adeline is my favourite and I love the option of Addy for short (my teen daughter is friends with an Addy and it suits her)

Aurelia is a bit frilly for my usual taste but nice if that’s the style of names you like

Melissa and Camilla sound a bit more dated to me

Do you like Anneliese?

Dont be silly.

Aurelia is such a mouthful to say. Not nice

No it really isnt, unless someone has a problem with more than two syllables. It’s a beautiful name.

DrLucyVanPelt · 10/05/2024 20:58

I like Adeline best but prefer it as Adaline. It has lovely shortenings... Addy, Ada, Dell, Della, Dellie.

KirstenBlest · 10/05/2024 21:01

@MrsSkylerWhite , That's your opinion but I agree with @Sunnnybunny72 .
She's not being silly.

Adeline makes me think of penguins. Adaline makes me think 'Add a line', and it's even worse than Adeline.
