Girls names opinions

[Firebird83]

Opinions on these girls names? DD1 is Elisabeth

Helena
Katherine
Louisa
Eleanor
Susanna (or Susannah)
Esther
Miriam
Caroline
Joanna

Any other suggestions welcome :)

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those names!

Miriam is a very Muslim name. I like Eleanor the best. The others are a bit boring and dated

@Cheeky19863 , Miriam is a very Muslim name. It is definitely not a Muslim name. It is a Jewish and Christian name.
The Muslim form of Miriam/Mary is Maryam.

Theyre pronounced the same. The spelling might be different but its a popular Muslim name

@Cheeky19863 , they are similar but they are not the same and do not sound the same.
Maryam is a popular Muslim name, Miriam isn't.

I'm not keen on Esther or Miriam as they are too Biblical for my taste.
Helena and Eleanor would both get shortened to Ellie, Ellen etc and the rest of that group of names that were so popular recently, also I'm not keen on Sue or Jo as a nickname.
Louisa is my favourite, and I think it goes very well with Elisabeth.

Great suggestions here.

I like Elouise with Elisabeth

I love:

Katherine
Louisa
Susanna (or Susannah)
Esther
Miriam
Caroline

It’s almost as if there’s more in common than differences between the two isn’t it?

Lovely list! Katherine is my favourite- it’s got the same timeless, classy charm as Elisabeth with lots of nice nn options.

Louisa is beautiful, though the Louisas and Louises I know, are all Lou, which I hate!

Joanna is still ugly imo, but the rest of your names are good choices.

Katherine and Elisabeth = royalty

I love everything on your list. Great taste! My favourite is Louisa. Such a beautiful name.

Sorry, me again! I adore the nn Suzie/Susie so I would go for Susanna 😊

I have a Louisa. And an Alexia ❤️ Just totally outed myself but I love my girl's names!

Out of your list Louisa.

Clara
Jemima

@HRchatter It’s almost as if there’s more in common than differences between the two isn’t it?
That's because the name is from Hebrew. The Muslim Maryam is the New Testament Mary.
Many names have a Muslim version and a Christian version, like Daniel/Danyal, Amran/Imran, Joseph/Yusuf, Abraham/Ibrahim, ...

Katherine or Catherine. A classic name that pairs well with Elisabeth and offers modern choices of nickname.

Personally I would prefer a name of the same length as DD1 so would consider Alexandra, Francesca and Madeleine as well (although I expect Madeleine would regularly be misspelled).

Oh, just to add, Louisa is grown-up and we only met one other with the same name when she was younger. Alexia is nearly 8 and we've never met another.
Out of the others on your list, Helena is the only name I currently know 1 of. (Child I mean, know lots of adults with those names)

Your list is lovely. I would choose Joanna.

Maybe also Cecily or Laura?

Lovely list, I like them all apart from Esther. Probably Miriam is my favourite but lots of nice choices.

Helena goes so well with Elisabeth, IMHO

I love all of your names.

With Elisabeth as a sister, I would not use Esther, nor Eleanor, due to same first initials.
