I'm single and am pretty much on my own with this naming thing and could use some anonymous opinion. I have less than 4 weeks to go, but am still undecided. Every time I choose a favorite I change my mind. Thoughts on any of these names for my girl, or any other suggestions?
Elliet
Presley
Aria
Asha
Hadley
Avery

Elliet - NO this is a BOY name! ..and spelled wrong.
Presley - I don't like this at all
Aria - Ok, NMS
Asha - I like this a lot
Hadley - I actually really like this name!
Avery - Boy's name.
What about - Vivian, Lila, Esme, Malia, Audrey, or Alanna?
Hmm... Most of these are NMS, but I would only advise you against Elliet and Presley. The first is a boy's name, 100%, and the second will get her non-stop Elvis jokes, I think.
I like Aria best, and Avery is also pretty. Asha just reminds me of ashes.
My personal naming style is different, so none of those names jump out at me. I really hate Elliet and Presley.
Aria and Avery are just not my style, but they aren't terrible.
Hadley is my favorite from your list. Ernest Hemingway's wife was named Hadley, so it reminds me of that and always has an old-fashioned feel to me.
Other names that I like that you might like:
Paige
Harper
Marlo
Willa
Ivy
Georgia
Greer
Flora
Celia
Sorry if none of these are your style, I'm just throwing them out.
Totally agree!
Elliet - no and spelling is bad
Presley - not for a girl
Aria - pretty
Asha - nah
Hadley - cute
Avery - my favorite.
I dont care for any of them, but Aria is the best i guess.
I'm okay with all of these except for that particular bastardization of Elliot. If you spelled it correctly it would be better, not particularly great but better.
Elliet - I've heard this on girls before but I think of it as mostly a boy's name and I don't really go for unisex names. Do you like just Ellie?
Presley - OK but NMS
Aria - Like
Asha - Like
Hadley - definitely NMS I don't see the appeal of this name
Avery - pretty unisex now so I don't go for it
Do you like ...
Adele

Audrey
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
Aria is pretty.
Most of the others are NMS.
Elliet makes me die a little inside.
Elliet (?) and Presley are just..no.
I really like Asha and Hadley.
Aria and Avery are just okay.
mm 2/17/11 * dd born 4/20/12 * bo 1/3/14 * edd 1/21/ 1/15
Elliet: hate the spelling.. I do like Elliot for a girl though
Presley: dislike for both genders, especially on a girl
Aria: Love it
Asha: dislike
Hadley: Love it
Avery: Love it
Thanks, all very helpful! (except for the "I hate them all and so will everyone else" comment, that was just unnecessary)
Aria has been my choice from the beginning, but her dad is insistent that people will call her "diarrhea" (one of many reasons he's no longer involved in naming). I think that's a huge stretch, I still think it's a beautiful name, even if him saying that has ruined it a bit for me. It's been nice to see a lot positive reaction to it on here, thanks!
