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

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

Cordelia
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

I don't mind Sienna, but I think it rhymes a little with Brianna. The rest are not my style at all.

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

I'm not a fan of Tallulah. What about Delilah?

I only like Sienna.
Rumour has it..
15/04/2011, 03:08 PM
Tallulah - NMS
Sienna - Adore it..met 3. All gorgeous girls!
Cordelia - NMS
Maisie - NOOOO
Carys - LOVE LOVE LOVE...

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.

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.

I know of a Tulia which I quite like - similar to Tullulah......?
Robbie
15/04/2011, 05:26 PM
Cordelia and Carys are the best on that list

You should definitely leave Sienna out of the running if you have a Brianna already.

15/04/2011, 05:27 PM
Carys for sure.... then Maisie
Bigmess
15/04/2011, 05:32 PM
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

Carys is beautiful

I don't mind Sienna, but it's very common these days.

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.

All top names for me except Sienna.
With a big sister Brianna I would see the race as being between Maisie and Carys.

Cordelia, absolutely.
Don't mind Maisie and Carys.

My preferences are Carys and Cordelia.

Cordelia...but then I'm biased!

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
16/04/2011, 03:20 PM
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
Thanks for all your opinions ladies

Sienna is the only one I would pick from that list, unfortunately it is too similar to Brianna.
