Roxanne and Eleanor the only two that I like here, but I would avoid the nns Roxy and Ella. Could I suggest Leonora or Rosanna instead?

My favourites are:

Amber
Megan
Faith
Holly

jkklpu · 08/12/2009 19:59

Amelie spellt properly is lovely and I really like Eleanor. Faith is good, too, though I prefer Constance and Verity of the virtue names.

MrsMattie · 08/12/2009 20:00

Love Faith and Roxy, although prefer Roxanna/Roxana to Roxanne.

lowrib · 08/12/2009 20:13

I love

Roxanne (Roxy)
Elissa (Lissa)

I really like

Amber
Megan
Amilie

Not particularly keen on the others.

Eleanor was very popular a few years back. If I remember correctly, at one point there were 3 names with NN 'Ellie' in the top 10 at once! Of course you may not mind this, but thought you might like to know.

Hulababy · 08/12/2009 20:16

Of your list I like Amilie best

FluffyPumpkins · 08/12/2009 20:39

really like

Amilie
Megan
Roxy

Amber - nice but popular
Roxanne (roxy) - don't like it
Amilie - its OK, a bit wet
Megan - nice, bit dull
Eleanor (ella) - lovely(my DD's name) popular nn though
Elissa (lissa) - like it, pretty
Faith - very nice
Holly - nice

cloelia · 08/12/2009 21:39

Amber - too dry
Roxanne - fun
Amilie - wrong spelling
Megan - as per pineapple
Eleanor - v popular
Elissa - bit girly for an athletic type ...
Faith - no hate it
Holly - love it
What about Alice or Melissa instead of Elissa, then could be Allie or Mel or similar at school?

strictmumof3 · 09/12/2009 15:17

Out of that list i would pick Faith or Megan. Holly and Amelie are nice too.

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 09/12/2009 15:19

The only one I really like is Faith.

And Holly is nice.

None of the others do it for me, I'm afraid.

doubleexpresso · 09/12/2009 15:22

agree with bibbity
