Critique my girl names :)

hille12

I thought DH and I were set on a girl name, but we are having second thoughts. I would love to hear your opinions on our new girl list - TIA!

Audrey

Liza

Anne (really like NN Annie)

Essie

Tess

Sydney

I've never heard Essie before. Cute.

JLSmith124

I like Audrey

4-Ever-Young

Audrey...

I prefer Anna to Anne...but Anne would be my second choice from your list.

Becky262

A few of those (Essie, Tess, Liza) seem to be more like NN than real names to me.

I like Audrey the best

Audrey - I really like, but everyone I have mentioned it to IRL hates it (including DH) so it's been taken off the list 

Liza - I don't care for.  I think it's the z, it sounds too harsh IMO.

Anne (really like NN Annie) - I like, but I prefer Anna to Anne

Essie - I don't like at all.  It reminds me of a dairy cow.

Tess - I like!  I Like Tessa too.

Sydney - Not very feminine or partcularly pretty sounding IMO.

 

So from your list, I vote for Audrey, Tess or Anna (but that's not technically on the list lol)

Audrey--Love.

Liza--blech. It puts me in mind of Liza Minelli and I just cannot stand her. I could get behind Eliza, though it's still not a favorite.

Anne--love.

Essie--I love it as a nickname, but I'm not certain how I feel about it as a standalone. It doesn't seem like it would mature well as a given name.

Tess--loved this name until I heard from more than one Tess that she was called "testicles" throughout middle school.

Sydney--I know it's unisex, but I still see it as a boys' name. And I'm just not a huge fan of place names, unless the place is incredibly special to you/your family.

I love Eliza, but I'm not sure how I feel about just Liza. I think I still like it, but I prefer Eliza.

I think Annie is cute. I prefer Anna though.

Sydney is okay.

The others are nms.

sunnyday016

Definitely Anne. LOVE the nn Annie

I also like Tessa (Tess is okay), Eliza (prefer this way to Liza), and Audrey.

Liza  Dislike.

Anne (really like NN Annie)  Like.

Essie  Strong dislike.

Tess  Strong dislike.

Sydney  Mild like.

I LOVE Anne/Annie. If it sounded good with our last name, it would totally be on my list. I think it's so beautiful and underused. I also like Audrey. The rest are NMS.

Anne

MaudGonne

Really like Anne/Annie and Tess, although it does seem a little incomplete to me.

Liza is not bad either.

Dislike the others. 

cyndielise

I really think that Essie is adorable.  :]

T&K_07

I love Audrey and Anne (& Annie), Sydney is okay, and I don't like the others as much.

damabo80

I like Sydney and Anne. The rest are NMS.

Just a warning with Liza...people will mispronounce it. Lisa, Leesa, Lies-a. poor thing will forever have to go through her life correcting people.

dale05

Love the name Audrey but can't convince DH.  Don't mind Tess and Sydney.  Don't think I really like Liza, Anne or Essie.

May+Mommy+2011

I like Audrey and Sydney! Pretty names!

braveangel2

Audrey - s'okay. NMS

Liza - blah, I really don't like this Elizabeth diminutive - looks like a drag queen name to me...maybe just my own associations. Funny because I don't mind Eliza in comparison

Anne - lovely, solid name with a great spelling

Essie - sounds like a nick name for something longer, but I have no idea what. Also sounds like hussy

Tess - I really like this name

Sydney - not my favorite place name.

LiebeMama

Audrey <--- okay, but I prefer the less popular Audra.

Liza <--- i think of lizard. I don't know why. nms too much.

Anne (really like NN Annie) <--- I like Anne paired with something else. Anna Marie Annalise... once again I like the less popular side of things.

Essie <--- different. I like.

Tess <--- Nah, I think of Cher's character in Burlesque. sounds like a stage name. not so much ms.

Sydney <---- like.

still_a_bride

I like them all except Sydney.  Essie and Tess are my favorites with Audrey and Liza following.  Then Anne. :-)  Good names!  Let us know what you decide.

shopgirl_07

KarlsSweetie05

Liza - don't like.  Like Eliza as pp mentioned.

Anne - my favorite.

Essie - meh. not really.  sounds like NN.

Tess - no.  sounds like NN.

Sydney - nope.  unisex and don't like in general.

Tikat

How about Sydney Anne? Anne is a beautiful middle name...

SpartanGirl

I really like Audrey, Anne and Sydney.

I like Tess or Liza as nn but not stand alone names.

I'm not a fan of Essie.
