Which girls name would you pick?

[Sandyview]

Ella
Eva
Stella
Sophia

Which would you go for and why?
I don’t love any of them but they’re literally the only ones my husband and I can agree we both like. We have very different taste and it took us a long time to even get to this point.

I'm really surprised so many on here like Stella, it's not to my taste at all.

My favourite would be either Sophia or Ava (that spelling)

What names did you love? Is there a way that you could incorporate them??

Only to echo everyone else Stella feels more edgy than the rest, could you double barrel with a name you loved?

Stella's fine apart from the inevitable Stel.

@sel2223 , the other names have been so overused they're dull. Ava is not to my taste at all and I can't see the appeal.

The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things wouldn't it?

Stella

@sel2223 , yes, which is why names like Ella, Eva and Sophia have become boring.

Love Stella. Sophia is also beautiful but I more popular at the moment so you might find there are a few others in your daughter’s school when the time comes.

STELLA

I’m a teacher and know hundreds of Ellas and Evas. Stella makes me think of A Streetcar Named Desire (but admit that this is a fairly niche reference). Sophia for me, although I wouldn’t choose it myself as it is a bit of a mouthful and difficult to shorten.

Sophia and Sofia combined would probably be the currently most popular name for girls. I know several.

Sophia , Rosie, Clara, Cerys, Freya, Francesca, isobel, Waiting....good luck.

What about Estella or Ava?

All the ones above after impressive redoubtable women.
Others I love, Sophie, Jaqueline, Georgia and Jessica, Elodie, Hannah, Mica. I'll stop now... good luck.

Eva for me I think. It has a lot going for it- popular name that is well liked but at least is also fairly classic (I know ones of different ages), it’s also very international and easy to spell.

Sophia is also those things but the spelling issue might be annoying (Sofia is nearly as popular).

Ella is most of those things too - but also feels slightly “trendy nickname” to me and not quite as classic imo.

Stella is the odd one out in a way as it’s surprisingly underused (both in the UK and internationally) which has positives and minuses- Stella does have the lovely, obvious meaning though as a bonus. If you are at all bothered about popularity (I’m not), it’s the one to pick.

For me it’s first choice Eva, 2nd Stella but it’s pretty close. I’m assuming you’ve considered and rejected Anna and Lara? Those are two of my faves and would seem to fit your style (short, fairly classic, popular, international).

This

I like Stella. It's got something that the others are maybe lacking (for me anyway). All perfectly fine and lovely names though. Could you try to use the other names you liked as a middle?

Stella = beer
Eva & Ella - very popular
Sophia is also quite popular but not as much as the 2 others

Estella would be better than Stella

Sophia would be my choice out of those, though it is very popular.
Ella is too overused.
Eva is nice.
Stella is not my style, but inoffensive. I prefer Estelle (but not Estella).

Love Stella. Strong, pretty and only one obvious spelling.

Love Stella, never met a Stella in my whole 14 years of working in early years, the other names are very common I think

Ella or Eva

I have an Eva - MN hates it and says it’s overused but in our experience there are far more Eve/Evies. DD is 20 and has only come across two other Evas socially. In her massive school of 1000 pupils she was the only one.

Stella!

Stella. Or maybe Estelle or Estrela? The others are just a bit.. meh

Sophia!
