girl names - opinions?

huntjul

Hubby and I have a few names we like. We have a 3-syllable last name that starts with W, so I like some shorter ones but thankfully always have had an easier time picking girls' names. Here they are:

Macy

Norah

Elise or Elsie

Claire or Clara

Miriam

 

Thoughts?

Norah: okay, but not my style

Elise or Elsie: okay, but not my style

Claire or Clara: okay, but not my style

Miriam: okay, but not my style

I think they are all nice names. Claire and Elsie are my faves, and Macy is my least fave... but they really all are nice options.

Claire or Clara - Like.

Miriam - Like.

Your girl names are mostly NMS. I like Norah, Claire and Clara. Miriam is a name I don't hear that often (I do have a bad association with the name, so that's the reason I'm not jumping up and down).

I like Nora, Clara, and Elise.  I like Elsie, but as a nn (maybe for Elisabeth).  I'm not a fan of Macy or Miriam.

Macy: its ok.

Norah: I think this name is pretty.

Elise or Elsie: Elise is nice. Elsie reminds me of Elsie the cow.

Claire or Clara: Eh for both.

Miriam: It seems like a grandma name to me.

Claire is one of my favorite girl names. I had it at the top of my list, but it didn't sound good with our last name so we crossed it off. It's so beautiful!!

I also like Elise and Miriam.

Macy- Dislike. 

Norah- I love this name. I plan on using it on a future baby. 

Elise or Elsie- Love Elise. Elsie would be a cute nn. 

Claire or Clara- I really like both. I prefer Clara.

Miriam- NMS at all...

I think they're all nice names, but my favorites are Elise and Claire. I'm not a huge fan of Miriam, but it's still a nice name.

I love Elise. Claire would be my second choice.

Macy- nms

Norah - love

Elise or Elsie - I like Elise, Elsie is cute, but I prefer Liesl as the nn

Claire or Clara - I like Claire for a mn, I prefer Clara as a fn

Miriam - I like this one (especially with nn Miri), but it feels very Hebrew to me, and I think people would side-eye me b/c I'm not Jewish.

I kind of like Elise Claire or Clara Elise as pairing.  Norah Claire would be cute too.

These are lovely names.  My favorites are Norah and Miriam.  I had an aunt named Macy.  I thought the name aged well, at least on her.  Elsie or Elise are probably both my least favorite, with Elise slightly above Elsie because I think a little girl called Elsie would get too many cow references and who wants that?  I prefer Claire to Clara.

Norah, Claire, and Miriam are awesome!

Love all of these names with the exception of Macy and Elsie. Norah and Clara are definitely my favorites.

DD is Norah so obviously I'm a little biased.

I like all of your choices except for Macy. All of the other names are classic and beautiful.
