Orla and ...

[mommyandmore]

Need a name for DD2. Really like Adeline NN: Addy or Ada.
My worry is that Adeline is becoming trendy so will date badly. Kind of like Ottilie, Willow etc. I also love Margot but I feel like I've met about 4 in the past year. Whilst beautiful names I just don't Want her being one of four in her class.

Ultimately looking for a beautiful, timeless name with appeal.

Some names we like on the list:

Adeline (Ada)
Rose
Margot
Camilla
Eloise
Camille/Camilla (cami)

June/Juno
Florence
Elisabeth
Adelaide (Dee Dee, Heidi, Lady)
Adeline

What are your thoughts Mumsnet?

I think Adeline, Ottilie, Willow and Margot are all trendy right now, and will possibly date. Hard to say if they’ll date badly though.
I love Adelaide and Eloise from your list.
I wouldn’t worry about the 1 of 4 in the class thing though, popular names are much less popular than they used to be so less likely to happen now days.

I like Florence and Eloise. Other suggestions:

Maeve
Seren
Maren
Stella

Adeline, Adelaide - don't like either of them
Addy - awful
Ada - ok as a name, use it instead. Too similar to Ava
Dee Dee - I don't see the connection to the full name
Heidi -ok as a name, use it instead.
Lady - are you naming a dog?
Rose - ok, a bit boring
Margot - too trendy
Camilla (cami) - cami-knickers
Camille - I don't like Cam/Cami
Eloise - bit of a mouthful, will be Ellie
June/Juno- ok
Florence- ok
Elisabeth - why with an s?

😂😂😂 love your honesty!

Orla and Aisling (pron. Ashling)?

If you don’t want four in a class then I wouldn’t use Florence either.

Mabel? Agnes?

Ariella

Erin

From your list Florence is my favourite. I like the nn Florrie.

I also love Willow.

Other suggestions

Fern
Faye
Alice
Phoebe

I really like Adeline, if you don’t mind taking a slight risk on how well it will date.

From your list, I also like Rose, Eloise and Florence - Florence is my favourite - it sounds perfect with Orla to me.

I love the previous suggestion of Mabel too.

Can’t move for Junos around here, similar with Florence, Margot and Rose.

I love Camille!

I have an Orla and an Emilia but that gets a lot of hate on here (I love it though!).

Freya and Hazel above are also good shouts.

Aoife

Another vote for Aoife

Caoimhe or Aoife

Aoife
Ciara
Eimear / Emer
Niamh
Maeve

I think rose, Eloise, Elisabeth and Adelaide are the least trendy so least likely to date. The others I think are/ will have a rapid rise and fall.

Rose/Rosa/Rosie

Ruby

Evie

Seren

Caitlyn

Cerys

other names might not date as bad

clara
eva
julia
anna
alice
beatrice
sadie
zara
elena
leah
lydia
martha
esther
charlotte
cassie
alana
eliza
juliet
may
april
josie
pippa
harriet
meredith

i mean almost all names date spare Elizabeth perhaps but some of those might be less obviously linked to a particular age in future!

This

Is Adeline pronounced Adaleen or Adalyne?
I say Adaleen myself but don't like Adalyne as much.

I think it's Adeline as is Caroline ...I think it can get muddled

Rose
