Which of these girls names should I pick?!

[NotStressedAtAll]

Just interested to hear your impressions of these names! I am sure I?ll get flamed for saying so, but really, really want to avoid names that are too popular (I have a very unusual name and I love that everyone remembers it!)

So here goes:

Maeve (with Mae as nn? would be keen on Irish name as have Irish heritage. How common is it in Ireland?)
Nora ? on its own or as a nn for below
Eleanor ? shortened to Nora (not a fan of Ellie, Ella etc)
Georgia
Audrey

We also considered Aoife but is it becoming too popular?

Sorry, my dashes came out as question marks!

Maeve

Audrey or Nora (Dora?)

I like Audrey.
My favourite at the moment is Rosalind, nn Ros.

I also quite like Nell for Eleanor.

Audrey

Dulcie, I love Rosalind too, but it's my Mum's name :-) Thinking of going for the ever popular Rose as a middle name instead. Or Mary. Or Mae if we don't go for Maeve as a first name...

A lot of you seem to like Audrey :-) What could we use as a nn?

Eleanor, due to the magnificent Eleanor of Aquitaine. A seriously impressive role model.

Nora

Audrey

Both gorgeous

Maeve not that common at all here in Ireland, not for babies at any rate.

Lots of older Maeves though.

Audrey makes me think of Corrie (am probably years out of date with that opinion).

I like Eleanor, associate Nora with elderly farmers wife, or Nora Barnacle, ie very "old lady" name.

Maeve is gorgeous.

I like Maeve, Nora and Eleanor (know a few little Eleanors though if that's an issue).

I really like Maeve and Audrey. Definitely think Audrey is due for a surge in popularity.

I like Eleanor but not Nora, makes me think Nora Batty. Nell is nice.

Not so keen on Aoife (though I don't think it's especially popular?). Georgia is ok.

I like Maeve best, followed by Eleanor and Georgia. I really dislike Nora and Audrey

Love Audrey or Maeve

Maeve- beautiful, especially if you have Irish heritage. I have no idea how popular it is in Ireland.

Nora- prefer as nn for Eleanor but it is sweet.

Eleanor- gorgeous classic but would use Nora/ Nell as dislike Ellie too.

Audrey- like a lot but it is v popular in The States so that trend may spread here.

Georgia- not my favourite but fine.

All good choices

Maeve and Audrey are fab.
Georgia is faded and Eleanor is more popular than the other 2. Nora is fine as well, just not as pretty.

Maeve or Audrey. Audrey was my grandmother's name. I love it. Have always loved Maeve.

I also like Nieve which I think is Irish.

You asked how popular Maeve is in Ireland.

To be honest, while it's a very ordinary name in Ireland, it's quite dated now and most Maeves would be in their 40s and 50s. You would rarely hear of a baby in Ireland being called Maeve anymore. It would be the equivalent of a name like Sue or Brenda in England.
I like Georgia or Eleanor.

Maeve - don't know about Ireland, but I've only ever met one little girl with this name and she is 5. Prefer Maeve to Mae btw.
Nora - never met one but think of Nora Batty.
Eleanor - only know 2.
Georgia - very popular in the 90's.
Audrey - don't know any but think more of Corrie than Hepburn or Tatu.

Would avoid Aoife like the plague. Nearly every little girl in my town is called Evie.

Emmyloo, Im sure most Irish people using the name would spell it, Niamh. TBH, Ive never seen it spelt Nieve or Neve other than when we were living in the States.

Still trying to think of a NN for Audrey for you.

Maeve - lovely. My Favourite
Eleanor - lovely. I, like you, don't like Ellie, but she may end up with that as a nn by default. don't like Nora (sorry)
Georgia - ok
Audrey - very 1950's. Not very nice-sounding IMO

What about Marianne, with Mari, or Nan as a nn?

Also, would you consider Margaret ?( nn Maggie/Peggy)

LOVE Nora
