which girl name would you choose?

in Baby Names

My husband and I have shared our lists but not yet discussed favorites. Here are MY favorites from both of our lists.  I'm wondering which is/are your favorite(s).  I would have made a poll but still can't get that to work on my browser!  Comments would be appreciated as well!  

I'm not including the middle or last name because I've sort of decided that they're irrelevant.  All the first names sound fine with our last name, and I've had mixed opinions about the flow of the first names with our chosen middle name, but the middle name is a family name that is set in stone, so I'm okay with less-than-ideal flow.  Anyway, here they are:

 Juliet

 Eliza

 Elizabeth (nn Eliza)

 Tessa

 Genevieve

 Lucy

 

 Thanks for weighing in!

    I love Genevieve! It is on our list if we ever have a girl. I love Tessa as a nickname for Teresa. I like formal names.

    Juliet is my favorite.

    #2  Elizabeth

    #3  Genevieve

    #4  Eliza

    Lucy and Tessa are NMS.

    Lucy seems more like a nn for a little girl and less like a serious adult name. Tessa is an 80's name to me...and I wasn't a fan of it back then either.

    Our DD is Lucy Rae she's a spunky 5 year old. I have been in love with that name since the day she was born! We call her Lulu for a nn. So that is my fav, then Juliet.

    You have an awesome list! Tessa would be my top pick since it is tied with Kate as our #1 girl's name. Good luck deciding : )

    I think Tessa is refreshing!

    Elizabeth is second best but I think Eliza is just OK. Juliet is not bad. Not really a fan of Lucy and I dislike Genevieve...it just sounds pretentious to me.

    They're all very nice and you can't go wrong with any of them. My favorite is Eliza followed by Lucy.

    Thanks, everyone!  It's nice to hear from some of you that all the options are at least halfway decent.  :)

    Agreed! I also think Tessa is cute. Really, you can't go wrong with that list.

    Lol I keep commenting on your threads. =) 

    They are all nice names.

    I think Elizabeth nn Eliza is a great compromise, best of both worlds. I'm also loving Genevieve right now. Different (but still a real name) and beautiful, and I don't think it will have the same growing in popularity issue that you were worried about with Juliet. Lucy and Tessa are probably my least favorites, but both of them are still perfectly fine names. I feel like Tessa is a bit trendy and sounds like it should be a nn for Theresa instead of a fn.

    Not hard to do, since I've been posting many threads lately!

    Thanks for your input.  That was my main worry with Tessa (which is sort of my top pick, along with Eliza) - I was afraid it seemed trendy, but then the popularity data didn't seem to support that, as it's stayed pretty consistent or even decreased a bit in popularity over the past five or so years.

    Elizabeth may be the way to go!

    Juliet is my hands down favorite followed by Elizabeth. Lucy and Tessa are cute but I picture them on kids more than adult professionals and some day this baby will grow up. Genevieve is nice but a mouth full and personally I'd worry she'd be nicknamed "Jenny"

    I kind of hear you about Lucy, but with Tessa I can see her choosing to go by Tess as she gets older, which I really like.

    For Genevieve, the nn Jenny is my main hangup as well, but I think Genna could work well along with Eve or Vivi/Evie.  Lots of better options.
