Girl list. Quite long!

No siblings to match with - she's my first.

Looking for a name that won't go out of fashion and is sophisticated and she will be proud to have!

What do you think of my list??

Alice
Emily
Daisy
Charlotte
Evie
Lily
Eliza
Annabel
Isla
Jenna
Martha
Esme
Lil a
Willow

All so lovely huh? Which should I ditch and what are your faves?

Alice ABIT DULL
Emily OVERDONE
Daisy LOVE IT
Charlotte OK
Evie LIKE IT BUT VERY VERY POPULAR
Lily LIKE IT
Eliza NOT KEEN, OLD FASHIONED
Annabel LOVE IT
Isla LIKE IT
Jenna LIKE IT
Martha NOT KEEN, TOO FADDY, NOT 'PRETTY'
Esme NOT KEEN
Lila NOT KEEN
Willow NOT KEEN

I've got a Daisy and an Emily, so obviously I love those. Was worried there would be hoards of Emilys, but so far so good. I also like Alice and Isla. Evie is very popular round here, and I know several Charlottes. Not so keen on Willow or Lila.

All very nice though really.

I love Eliza and Emily.

Alice, Charlotte, Annabel, Martha and Lily are sweet (Lily ever so popular, though)

I like Eve, but not keen on Evie and again, ridiculously popular these days.

Really dislike Isla (overdone), Esme (ditto), Lila (much prefer Leila), Willow (sounds like an animal's name) and Jenna (too American and 80s-tastic).

Alice - a ittle boring
Emily - " "
Daisy - meh
Charlotte - nice
Evie - lovely
Lily - meh
Eliza - really like this
Annabel - nice
Isla - gettng v popular
Jenna - no
Martha - no
Esme - nice
Lil a - no
Willow - no

Charlotte, Eliza and Martha are my favourites on your list.

Love Esme, Alice and Emilly most from your list

Alice- beautiful- my sister's name- never goes out of fashion
Emily- nice and classic but it is popular
Daisy- I do love Daisy.
Charlotte- lovely classic, won't date, it is popular where I live too.
Evie- pretty but v current and popular- Eve or Evelyn might be a better choice.
Lily- v pretty and popular.
Eliza- I love Eliza!
Annabel- lovely classic, won't date either and less popular than some on your list.
Isla- okay, becoming v popular
Jenna- dislike
Martha- okay
Esme- okay
Lil a- okay
Willow- no
The names that fit your 'criteria' above are: Alice, Emily, Charlotte, Eliza and Annabel (possibly Daisy and Lily although less sophisticated than the others).

Have you thought of Beatrice, Claudia, Susannah, Katharine, Rosalind, Miranda? They are all less popular classics and may therefore not date quite as much.

Alice - keep it
Emily - keep it
Daisy - keep it
Charlotte - keep it
Evie - ditch it
Lily - keep it
Eliza - ditch it
Annabel - keep it
Isla - ditch it
Jenna - ditch it
Martha - ditch it
Esme - keep it
Lil a - ditch it
Willow - ditch it

So, Alice, Charlotte, Eliza, Annabel, Isla, Esme, Lila, Willow (though I prefer Hazel as tree names go).

I like Eliza a lot.

Oh I love so many of these.
Alice - love it; have one
Emily - love it
Daisy - love it; have one
Charlotte - love it
Evie - like it

Martha - adore it
Esme - adore it
Lil a - no
Willow - not so fond

Eliza or Esme are my favourites.

Most of them are quite fashionable, to be honest. The most classic-sounding are Charlotte and Annabel.

Alice - classic name, not too over popular here
Emily - classic name, quite popular
Daisy - pretty name, I like this, getting more popular though
Charlotte - nice, like nn as Lottie not Charlie though
Evie - lovely name
Lily - pretty name, again quite popular
Eliza - prefer Elisabeth
Annabel - very popular, like nn Anna
Isla - nice
Jenna - don't like this
Martha - my favourite
Esme - not keen
Lila - prefer Lily
Willow - quite like this

Alice - My name; hated it when I was younger, like it now.
Emily - Like it but a bit boring
Daisy - Like it
Charlotte - Love it
Evie - Like it
Lily - all over the place
Eliza - Love it
Annabel - Don't like
Isla - Don't like
Jenna - Don't like
Martha - Love it; sister's name
Esme - Ok
Lil a - Ok
Willow - Don't like, reminds me of the film

Alice - OK. Traditional and safe.

Emily - Overused, especially in 90s, so now dull to my ears. Classic though and safe again.

Daisy - Daisy, give me your answer do. Sweet and a nice NM but a bit maid in the 19th Century IMO.

Charlotte - a strong, classic name but poss not that exciting.

Evie - prefer Evelyn - now too many about too.

Lily - see comments on Daisy re: 19th Century.

Eliza - I like this a lot.

Annabel - less of them than Isabel etc. Quite like.

Isla - St Clair. Seriously, quite nice but doesn't grab me.

Jenna - Dallas

Martha - Ok

Esme - in the league of Daisy and Lilly.

Lil a - Too many around and the various variants also makes me think of Kate Moss's DD

Willow - OK. The bohemian's choice of the early 00s to my mind.

Personally like Eliza the best.

Alice, Emily, Charlotte - all classic (had great aunts thus named!).

Daisy - yes but as nn for Marguerite. It's a child's or affectionate name. Eliza - as nn for Elizabeth.

Evie, Lily, Esme, Isla - well as others have said, very popular, nowt wrong with them though. Martha I think sounds a bit worthy and dull.

Annabel, Lila, Willow, Jenna - nope.
