Baby Names
Feedback needed!
in Baby Names
We found out last week that we're having a girl. We hadn't even begun to narrow down our name choices until we knew the gender so we've just now started to narrow down our list of 100+ girl names. I have a few favorites but before I really start to push for them, I thought I'd like to get your opinions.
WDYT of the following? Please be honest. Do you like or dislike? Which is your favorite? Do you consider it popular/trendy? Any feedback is super appreciated. TIA!
Alice
Arden
Annika
Charlotte/Charlie
Imogene
Marlowe
Mathilda
Meredith

Congrats on your girl! Girls are so much fun
Of your choices I like Annika and Meredith. I don't mind Mathilda but I like it without the 'h'-Matilda.
Imogene is my grandma's name-she'd be floored to know that her name is coming back in style!
I love Alice, it's really been growing on me a lot lately.
I'm also a big fan of Arden, Charlotte and Mat(h)ilda. I think I like it spelled Matilda better.
I can take or leave Annika and Meredith.
Marlowe is completely NMS and I've never been a fan of Imogene.
Alice NMS. Kind of old lady and I actually like "old lady" names (like Hazel
but I am not a huge fan of this one
Arden - reminds me of Elizabeth Arden, not a huge fan
Annika - like it
Charlotte/Charlie - really like it
Imogene - I think it's okay, not my fav but definitely not bad
Marlowe - this is just a little too last namey to me, especially with the spelling
Mathilda - like it
Meredith - really like it
I love Alice, Charlotte, and Meredith.
Without knowing your last name, I would personally choose Meredith or Alice because Charlotte is becoming increasingly popular (if that matters to you).
Beautiful choices. Congratulations and good luck choosing a name!

Not sure where to go from here.
I love Meredith, Annika and Charlotte.
I'm not a fan of Imogene or Arden. My driver's ed teacher was a 60 year old man named Arden, so I have a hard time associating that with a little girl.
This definitely does matter to me and I was kind of thinking the same thing about Charlotte...despite the fact that I adore the name and DH kind of has his heart set on it.
I just don't want her to have the same name as 4 other girls in her class.
Arden is on our short list for girls, but it sounds terrible with the middle name we want to use, so we're on the fence. It's great to see someone else considering this name - I think it's beautiful!
I also love Marlowe and Mathilda. Mat(h)ilda makes me nervous about her forever being called "Mattie," though (I'd prefer Tilly). DH has suggested Meredith, and I like that one too. The others are cute, too, but definitely not favorites.
Yay! Good list!!
Congratulations on your little girl! I love almost every name on that list. Your style is very similar to mine. My favorite is Meredith, with Alice as a close second. I also love Imogene and Matilda. I like Charlotte although it seems to be getting very popular lately. Marlowe is really the only one I don't care for.
Alice -It's okay, but I do love the nn Allie. I'd probably go with Allison for a full name thoug
Arden - Not a fan
Annika - LOVE
Charlotte/Charlie - LOVE but afraid it's becoming trendy :-(
Imogene - Pretty but NMS
Marlowe - Not a fan
Mathilda - Cute and I like Mattie for a nn
Meredith - very pretty
