Opinions on these Girl's names please

[Katecat]

This is my first post, after months of lurking, so please be gentle!

Honest opinions on these names please:

Anneli
Greta
Jill

Thanks

Sorry but don't like any of them.

Really sorry but I don't like any of them. The first sounds a bit like a brand for Italian Pasta.
Do you have any others?

I like Anneli and Greta ... but Jill is too seventies.

I like Greta. (Sigh) I had boys both times and a little sad to have not used my girl names!

orry, not really keen on any. If had to choose one from your 3, I think Greta is the better one.

Nice all of them and not used now so they will not be run of the mill.
Jill is really cool actually!

Greta sounds nice. Anneli sounds unfinished and Jill is a 1970s hairdresser. Is that too harsh?

I quite like Greta; don't like the other too although Jill could be quite sweetly retro for a middle name.

I'm not overly keen on any, I'm afraid.

Depends on surname but out of the 3 prefer Anneli.
Greta always reminds me of Sound of Music - sorry
Gill I prefer with a G, short for Gillian to give another option?

like Greta - the other two are awful

I think Greta is really sweet. I like Gretchen as well.

Not so keen on your other two though - sorry

No worries, I did ask for honest opinions. Have loads of others but don't want all by favourites slated in one go! Will add more later.

about Anneli, I really love it. It's actually a proper name but I can kind of see what you mean. Would probably only ever use Jill as a middle name but I like it alot for some reason.

Thanks.

What about Annelise?

Greta is lovely.

Not sure about Anneli, it sounds a bit made up.

Jill is ok.

I have to contradict Tillyscoutmum, I am afraid. Gretchen is terrible, a very twee name in Germany. It means little Greta.

Something about Anneli spelt like that is very offputting, I do like Annelie though. My first thought at Greta wasn't positive but actually it's growing fast...

Jill is really not my cup of tea.

I like Greta, not keen on the others tbh.

They are all very different from each other iyswim. It makes it hard to work out your taste and make other suggestions.

How do you pronouce Anneli? Prefer it to the other two. Really don't like Greta am afraid.

I like Greta a lot.

Jill is a bit boring maybe? A bit too seventies?

Anneli I sort of like, but prefer Annalisa or Louisa or something similar.

What about Amelie as another option?

Greta is very very lovely - cute for a girl and oh so sexy for a lady!!!

Jill is a simple and very friendly sounding name. I have a friend who is very kind and good - you know the type - natural, cool, no fuss, all love! That is the type of person who comes to mind with the name Jill. My friend's name isn't Jill but she'd make a good Jill.

Anneli - Sorry - I am still at the "Oooh that is unusual!" stage - I suppose I would have to think about it before I tell you what it makes me think of!

Do you have a leaning towards a favourite katecat???

Also please tell us more about the name Anneli...

Plus thanks for posting - welcome to the mn gang - x x x

Blimey - I hadn't realised how quickly things moved on here.

Not keen on Gretchen, Gill or Gillian personally but thanks.

Annelise is one I'd never considered but actually I quite like it.

The Sound of Music is the exact reason for my love of Greta!

Looks like Greta is way out ahead so far then.

How about Eleri?
Or Kirsty (a bit 80's maybe)?

Thanks for all your comments so far.

Pronunciation of Anneli here. It's infinitely preferable to Amelie IMHO...

Eleri? Noooooo.

I'm quickly falling in love with Greta, shame I'm in Holland where the pronunciation is Greet-a of it'd be going on my list!

I love Anneli it has a beautiful sound to it.
