which of these names?

[avariceandlatinos]

Top names at the moment are:
We like unusual names, and unusual classic names, and just plain unuual names,
can you pick the best four? Ones which don't have bad nicknames mostly...

Phoenix
Willemina
Willow

other names seriously considered are:
Atalia
Atarah
Ayla - igh-la
Lorelei
Sapphira
Kerensa
Sophika - soh-FEE-ka
Zeeva
Theanora - 'theo' for short
Xylia - shy-lee-a or zy-lee-a
Caelia - kigh-lee-a
Estee - eh-stay
Cassiela
Seren
Vesper
Alesande - ale-saan-dee
Alexandrie
Tzofi - zow-fee
tzofiya - zoh-fya
Skyla
Anastasia
Valentina
Aurielle
Silva
Vivienne
Sylviane
Amynta
Amaranda
Sasha
Eden
Cleo
Layli - lay-lee
(we are from n.ireland so the spellings will be understood)
Aine - awn-ya
Riognach -rin-uck
Regan - ree-gan
Morrigan
Gwyndolen
Aiona - ay-ow-na

No preference but a few of them I dislike an awful lot.

Regan makes me think of King Lear. She was a Very Bad Person.

Sasha is a boy's name to me.

Wilhelmina is a better spelling.

Estee no no no.

I would rule out any names that you had to put phonetic spellings for. A lot of them would be difficult to spell as well.

Of the list I only really like Cleo, Vivienne, Sasha and Willow. The Irish names are all nice and shouldn't be hard for people to spell or pronounce if you live in N Ireland.

Willow
Vivienne
Cleo
Valentina

Are all nice. The rest I'm sorry but I really dislike.

Good luck choosing!

Vivienne rocks. I quite like Eden and Willow. Most of the others are, imho, pretty dreadful.

1. Seren
2. Ayla
3. Aiona
4. Layli

A few on the list are, imo a little uh... not to my taste.

But the 4 above I think are lovely, Seren was a name I 'found' the day after I'd registered my dd, was a tad miffed

ziva (not zeeva) is a hebrew name meaning light/bright

I like Valentina out of the rest

ang on this is on two threads.

eh-stay - as in make up?

Favourites...willow,phoenix,eden.

Estee is a pretty name - very French.

Well they are an interesting bunch! I like Vivienne and Seren, not very keen on the rest in truth. Surely you wouldn't choose Morrigan - wasn't she a terrible goddess?

Oh Willemina is so lovely! Very versatile.

Phoenix is awful, new-age celeb cheese. And
Willow is OK.

I love some of the name on your list
Atalia
Lorelei
Valentina
Aurielle
Vivienne
Cleo
Morrigan ( a bit darker/goddess of war but it's quite strong and fresh)

Really not so keen:
Estee Lauder, too much make association.
Vesper (I think of the mass, depsite no final s).
