what do you think of these girl's names?

[smother]

Please help me choose between...

Rosie
Martha
Alice
Nola
Clara

Honest opinions please! many thanks.

Alice.... was my chosen name if i had had a girl!!

Not Nola. Rest lovely. If pressed would pick Alice or Rosie.

I think they are all very good names!

Alice is on my list too and has been discussed on the thread 'a very short shortlist...'

I think Nola and Clara are the most unusual, there will be lots of other Rosies, Marthas and Alices if that makes any diffrence to you?

Good choices and good luck making the decision!

Alice, Nola or Clara. I love them all, but Nola is the most unusual.

Love Rosie and Martha!

I like Clara best. Not keen on Nola...

Rosie and Clara are my favourites

Martha is my favourite...

Nola is slang for New Orleans, so not sure about that. I only know because I have a friend who moved there recently and it seems to come up a lot in their emails/fb updates. But it's what I immediately thought of.

I like Clara and Alice best.

I like Nola, because it's the most unusual on your list. Alice is nice, but a bit overdone. Clara makes me think of a cartoon cow.

Twas a lovely city though, and I don't think the connection to New Orleans would be immediately apparent to most in Britain.

Love Alice and Martha

do you think Clara is going to become as popular as Rosie/Martha/Alice? I've heard it around a fair bit on MN recently

Love Martha

In order:

1. Alice
2. Clara
3. Martha

4= Rosie/Nola

I love Martha and Clara - both names which are pretty but you could be taken seriously with too.

Rosie is twee and little girly imo, not keen at all.

Alice is nice, it's very safe but nothing special.

Nola is odd, it sounds like a shortened form of the name Nolene! Not good...

Rosie - Agree that it's twee. Would use Rosalind or (better) Rosamund with Rosie as a nickname only up to the age of 5.
Martha - Lovely but very much in vogue now.
Alice - Lovely but very much in vogue now.
Nola - Don't like it.
Clara - Like this too.

Clara is lovely

Not Nola
I would have Rosie as shortened form and use Rosalind or similar.
I think Clara is going to be very popular but it is nice.

I love Rosie and Martha ALOT!

Martha Rose
Rosie Martha

Clara,I love it
not overly keen on any others

Clara or Martha

Clara

I like them all except Nola. I've never heard of that.
