Looking for some honest opinions on these names, thanks!

Tallulah (DH suggested this, I'm not so sure)
Sienna (In the top 10 but I have never met one)
Cordelia
Maisie
Carys


~damons-mum~
I really like Carys and don't mind Maisie (although I did think Maisie Mouse). Not a fan of Tallulah, Sienna or Cordelia.

Cordelia wub.gif

I don't like Sienna, the others are all OK, but Cordelia is perfect.

I like Cordelia!

Tallulah has some sort of vixen connotations, perhaps in my mind only. Sienna rhymes too much with Brianna.

Cordelia - I just think it sounds a bit pretentious and, dare I say it, inner-city try hard. I think it is the pick of the bunch though.

Have you considered Claudia?

I love Carys! It was on my short list when we had DD2.

Not a fan of Cordelia or Tallulah - same connotations as PP for me.

Sienna is OK, we know a few and as you say it's top 10.

Our test was always whether the name would be appropriate if she was in the board room - silly I know but we all have our ways.
K+M+A+?
I think Sienna rhymes too much with Brianna.
I like Cordelia and Maisie.
Also like PPs suggestion of Claudia.
Tallulah - NMS

Harlo
I don't mind Sienna, but I think it rhymes a little with Brianna. The rest are not my style at all.
tickly_rain
Carys or Cordelia I don't mind from your list. Sienna is okay, as is Maisie. Not a fan of Tallulah, sorry.

I agree with this original.gif I'm not a fan of Tallulah. What about Delilah?
jotana
I only like Sienna.
Rumour has it..
Tallulah - NMS
Sienna - Adore it..met 3. All gorgeous girls!
Cordelia - NMS
Maisie - NOOOO
Carys - LOVE LOVE LOVE...
Sarie
Thanks ladies! Yes I agree, Sienna and Brianna are too close. I'm not keen on Tallulah either. Claudia, while lovely, as is Delilah, all our kids names are Gaelic/Celtic so we'd like to stick with that.
fifi-trixibelle
Tallulah- I think it's lovely but it definitely doesn't fit your other childrens names
Sienna- lovely, but definitely far too similar to Brianna
Cordelia- nice
Maisie- lovely
Carys- ok


I'd definitely pick Maisie.

bubmakes3
I know of a Tulia which I quite like - similar to Tullulah......?
Robbie
Cordelia and Carys are the best on that list original.gif

You should definitely leave Sienna out of the running if you have a Brianna already.
4plus1makes5
Carys for sure.... then Maisie original.gif
Bigmess
I really donot like Sienna BUT probably because I know over 10

However I do think it goes very very well with Brianna.

I know a Brie and a Brieanna who both have Siennas too original.gif
missj
Carys is beautiful original.gif

I don't mind Sienna, but it's very common these days.
pacificbaby
i LOVE Tallulah & Sienna
Devi
Cordelia is very much the stand-out winner there.

Carys is lovely but personally I'd only use it if I had Welsh ties.

Sienna has passed it's popularity peak and will be very much a name of the noughties.
Gudrun
All top names for me except Sienna.

With a big sister Brianna I would see the race as being between Maisie and Carys.
spellfall
Cordelia, absolutely.

Don't mind Maisie and Carys.
Jen1
Sienna is lovely.
Divine53
My preferences are Carys and Cordelia.
Reubsmum77
wub.gif Cordelia...but then I'm biased!
Edna24
Great names!
I know a Cordelia, and she calls herself Cords..........its quite an old fashioned name and I like it by my friend Cords hates it with a passion.
I love Carys - I think its welsh? I assume its a girls name but I imagine could also be unisex?
Maisy and Tallulah are great, both very old fashioned and Maisy is the mouse in the book series and Tallulah is the duckie
Sienna well, I think you've the other names are far more interesting. Siennas are a dime a dozen (4 in my daughters kindergarden - oh and 3 James's 3 Olivias and 3 Noah's)
tought choice, so many lovely ones!
Sarie
Well I don't like Tallulah, Sienna is too close to Brianna and DH doesn't like Cordelia or Maisie so back to the drawing board

Edna - Carys is Welsh, yes. I'm pretty sure it's a girl name not unisex. LOL I never knew there was a Tallulah in Maisy the Mouse laugh.gif

Thanks for all your opinions ladies biggrin.gif
~THE~MAGICIAN~
Sienna is the only one I would pick from that list, unfortunately it is too similar to Brianna.

Ladeeda
I really like Maisie original.gif
