My top 4 girl names: Which do you like the most?

kelslynie

They are all unique names. Even if you don't like any, pick the one you prefer the best. And please give me your thoughts on them

Reese
Aoife (an Irish name pronounced ee-fa)
Isis (pronounced eye-sis)
Neve (pronounced nehv)

Aoife

Neve

 

Reese

Isis Eh

Pretty much this.

 Aoife--I love it, but pronunciation will be very difficult for the average American.

Neve--I love it as well, but with the pronunciation you want, you're going to have a great deal of difficulty.

Reese--a lovely name FOR A BOY and far too trendy in either case.

Isis--easy to pronounce, but it seems to be favored mostly be poorly educated and/or classless individuals and for that reason it wouldn't be my choice. 

FemmeNat01

They are not my style at all but if I had to pick, Isis.

Reese is too...unisex for my liking.

Aoife will get massacred.

Neve reminds me too much of Nevaeh and that's not a good association.

Isis is the only one I would pick.

They are all nms, but if I had to choose I would go with Aoife. However, be prepared for the frequent mispronunciations. Second choice would be Reese I guess. I really don't like the other two at all.

forensicmama

Aoife.

Reese

Isis Eh

Ditto! Exactly my thoughts.

1. Neve

2. Reese

3. Isis

4. Aoife (This will never be pronounced correctly, and nobody wants to spend their life correcting people.)

Aoife

Love Reese.

LuckyOBlessed

Love the name Reese ~

Isis is the name of a program that we use where I work ~ International Security Information Service. . . But if I didnt think of that everytime I heard it, it would be a pretty name!

j&j1999

I like Reese, Neve, Isis (in that order).  The last is far too likely to get mispronounced in my opinion.  GL!

angelynn8411

Neve, then Reese (although Reese is becoming popular)

Puppylove*85

I like Neve, then Reese.  Reese would be number one if it was a nickname for Theresa.

magsugar13

Neve

Charlie'sAngel2009

Here is my order: Neve Reese Isis Aoife (Are you Irish? If not, I would really avoid this one because she will probably meet 2 people in her whole life who know how to spell/pronounce it.)

backinpgh

I'll go against the grain here and pick Reese...it seems to suit Ms. Witherspoon just fine lol

Second best I like Neve.

Isis is okay.

Aoife is too difficult IMO.

pnksteph

Neve or Reese

ToBeMrsC6907

I like all of them except for Aoife.

Reese

I like Neve.

 

How do you pronounce Aoife? 

kelseymw

You have a new poll just about every day.

I still like Neve, per your last thread when middle names were discussed.

Second place for me is Reese, though I don't consider it unique. I know several little girls with the name (and the actress of course). My male cousin's middle name is Reese, too. 

I have to agree with the PP that said Isis is often chosen by "poorly educated/classless" individuals.  There were two girls named Isis in my school growing up and both didn't come from, uh, model families. It's a pretty name, but it's just how I associate it based on personal experience.

Aoife will be butchered every day of her life.  For this reason, it's a no go for me.

LadyLove-GA

Neve then Reese!

JNBrickey

We just had a family friend name her little girl Aoife!  It's already commonplace within our group now, and seems just like any other beautiful name.  I love it - it's feminine and graceful.  Definitely Aoife!

 And to who asked it's pronounced Eefa, just like the OP mentioned in her post.

MnM7608

I like Aoife (DH loves this name!), and Neve is nice, although I prefer the Niamh spelling.  Our niece is Niamh, and she's the cutest little girl!  Reese is too trendy, and Isis is nms.  

gettingmawwwied

I like both Reese and Neve. Aoife is one of those names that will never be pronounced correctly and the poor thing will be constantly correcting people. Isis reminds me of that Isis Maternity store.

Um, ok.

brightning

Definitely Aoife. I know someone with this name and have loved it ever since!

cdmaster

For those of us not familiar with Irish names, all are unusual + albeit a bit difficult but for Reese.

I will say I like Neve, if I'm saying it correctly, the best.

rsquaredr

I love Reese.

Reese

Mrs.Saxy

all except Aoife.  unless you're Irish and live in Ireland, that's a no.

wow

I teach and have taught in extremely poorly educated (which is NOT synonymous with classless) school and have never heard Isis.  What an uneducated statement to make.  We do have a Mardi Gras Krewe (Crew) named Isis...after the Greek Goddess.

MelodyKate

Reese. I like Aoife, but I would never put a person through having to spell their name constantly because I had to do that with my maiden name and it was awful. My second choice is Isis, and I don't like Neve at all. 

flutepharm87

The only one I like is Reese. Neve is my second choice. Isis reminds of Egyptian Isis-Osiris story, which I always found really creepy. And Aoife is just to unique for me.

LoveBugBaby

Reese - I really like this one! The best out of all four.

Aoife (an Irish name pronounced ee-fa) - This name is TERRIBLE! I know someone who named her daughter this and NO one can figure out how to pronounce it.  I thought it was pronounced "A-Oh-Fee" lol...

Isis (pronounced eye-sis) - Sounds way too stripper-ish!

Neve (pronounced nehv) - This is ok, but NMS.

Reese is my fav out of those four.
