Opinions on these girls names please!

[Lilypink]

I already have a Lily, and struggling to think of another girls name. But have come up with;

Elodie (Edie for short)
Belle
Hetty
Bella
Evie

I am feeling strong so honest opinions are welcome - I have already put Belle to the vote and faced the consequences

Many Thanks!!

Like them all

I like Evie best

I think that Eve/Evie is one of the top popular girls' names and I would avoid it for that reason.

I appear to have different taste in names to you - although Lily is gorgeous! Out of your suggestions I prefer Belle.

I like Elodie the best.

Prefer Hattie (which I love) to Hetty.

Ambivalent about Belle/Bella.

Evie is lovely but very popular at the moment compared with your other choices.

hth.

i like belle,
i know an evie which clouds my judgement somehwat.
hetty is ok

Sorry for the rather floral looking spellings - not sure what I did!

I love Elodie and really, really love Evie, though I know two, so wouldn't be able to use it myself . Bella is nice too.

I like them all but not so keen on Evie because its so common now.

But they are very pretty names.

Oh, and Lily is my favourite girl's name, but a friend got there first . We have very similar tastes (though I'm not quite there with Hetty).

How about Esme? I have a lily as well and if I ever have another dd that is my next choice! I do like Bella as well but can't get past the stupid magazine!!!

So annoying wessex girl when someone knicks your name! I have 6 friends/family due the same month as me so the pressure is on to 'get there first'with the names!

All your thoughts are pretty much in line with mine - I love Evie but thought it was becoming rather popular. So I might go for Elodie and then shorten to Edie which is not too dissimilar. Can't really shorten to Ellie as too many LLLL's with Lily!!

I love them all
Would have loved a Lily but it's my dd's surname I keep trying to convince dp that they will get married one day and then it wouldn't matter

Oh yes, Elodie shortened to Edie sounds like a winner to me.

Before I had my dds, I'd have said my favourite girls' names were Lily, Evie and Rhiannon.

Every single one was taken at least once before I had dd1, grr.

Still, at least with girls there are lots and lots to choose from .

I only like Evie, but it seems to be the name of the moment-overtaking Ruby and Lily.

i love Elodie/edie
and Bella very much

Yes lots of choice for girls names, but boys?! I don't even know what I am having so all this hard work on finding girls names may be in vain!

Maybe next week I will think about boys, only have Samuel (Sam) so far which I love but would like to have at least one back up so that I can 'choose' when the baby is born.

Evie is best!

Elodie is very pretty. My only comment is that the two names are quite similar. Your other names are all shortenings - I'd go with the full form (Henrietta/Harriet, Isabelle etc)

Def go for the full name and shorten later

Isabel (Belle/Bella)
Harriet/Henrietta
Evelyn (I love this, esp pronounced eve-lyn)

Harriet is lovely!

OL I read Belle as bellie rofl!

I like Bella. I have an Isabella who gets shortened to Bella, I like it.

I like Evie, but its a bit popular for my liking, there are 3 in DDs nursery.

Just been on babynamer.com and another spelling for Hetty is Hettie - I think this is nicer do you? That website is great!!

Really love elodie the best - it is not very common, but not at all odd, really nice. Like all the names but think that one is the best !

Hettie is a lovely shortening for a lovely name I mentioned on another thread earlier - Hester. So pretty.
