what are your onions on these

[EnglishEggsScottish]

Lily, Helen, Caroline, Anna, Louisa, Ingrid.

I love Jane but DP doesn't :,(

Heh onions. I like Anna. It's timeless

I once saw Charlotte confused with shallot....

I like all your choices, except Ingrid. My favourite is Louisa, runner up Caroline (and Jane would go nicely as a middle name for either

Oops... opinions.
Can I get your onions on shallot please?

Which onions would you prefer?

Lily - nice but overused. I really don't like Lil, Lilian, Lilith, Lilia etc
Jane is nice. Makes me think Jane Austen.
Helen is so much nicer than the Helena, Elena, Ellen, Ellie type names.
Louisa - I prefer Louise but it's nice.
Ingrid - I like it and it's a bit different.
Anna - I like it and it works internationally
Caroline - like it

I like Caroline the best of those. Really do not like Anna (personal reasons) but many do!

1. Anna
2. Helen/a
3. Louisa/Eloise

Anna. Not the others.

I love Caroline - it's due a comeback. Love Caro.
Anna is beautiful as is Helen.
I dislike Lily.

Shallot sounds pretty, could be Shal, Lottie or Shally for those all important nn options.
Pearl is ok
Scallion might be a bit yooneek

Anna and Louisa are my favourites amongst them. Anna and Hannah were on my list for girls

Lily, Helen and Caroline are nice, just wouldn't make my short list.

Ingrid when said softly is lovely but at other times it sounds really rough and I don't like what it looks like on paper.

Anna and Caroline would be my favourites

Allium is quite pretty. Or Cipollini.

I'm not keen on Lily or Ingrid. Helen is hard to imagine on a baby and you have the Helen/Ellen conundrum which gets old fast.

Louisa and Anna are lovely. Caroline definitely due a comeback.

Hehe Onions.

I think it depends what your last name is. Sometimes the first name feels like it has to flow with the last name

All good 'classic' names.

Jane makes an excellent middle name which goes with many others.

I guess if you went with an allium inspired name, the nickname when very small could be Leek...

Lily, Helen, Caroline, Anna, Louisa, Ingrid

Lily - ok
Helen - ok
Caroline - like
Anna- like, gaining popularity?
Louisa - my favourite
Ingrid - has a different feel to the rest of your names, which were popular seventies names (apart from Lily)

Love Red onion chutney

Jane as a middle name is so dull.

Quite a varied shortlist.

Lily - It's pretty but has been so popular for so long that it's started to seem very dull to me. But I'm a teacher so have taught dozens over the last 15 years or so.
Helen - don't really like it but it would be very unusual on a baby now. Nearly all Helens are 40+, I would say.
Caroline - similar age demographic to Helen, perhaps a decade or so younger. I quite like it though. Prefer Carolina.
Anna - like it. Simple but pretty and never popular enough to get boring but always in use.
Louisa - it's ok. Fresher and prettier than Louise but I wouldn't choose it personally.
Ingrid - like it and have never met a British person with this name.

So, Anna or Ingrid would be my picks.

All nice, I don’t dislike any. Favourites are Caroline and Louisa 😍 followed by Anna and Lily (both pretty) then Helen and Ingrid (both a little clunkier for me).

Louisa nice, the others very boring.

Caroline or Ingrid

I like Anna. Also Louisa (but maybe dated?)

Jane, Helen, Caroline are dated to me

lily is ok but so popular got boring. Ingrid I’m just not a big fan of but that’s taste.

Lovely names - I like them all.

I’d probably choose Anna because it’s a gorgeous, underused and timeless classic that doesn’t get shortened.

Caroline is also a lovely underused name with Carrie and Callie as lovely shortenings

Louisa - gorgeous, as long as you don’t mind “Lou” for short

Helen - I like this, especially with the shortening Nell, which differentiates it from the older generation of Helen’s!

Lily - beautiful if you don’t mind the popularity

Ingrid - a little hard sounding to me but a good name and rarely used

I do actually know of a Sharlot 🤣
