Re: Lily, Peony, Noelle or Eliana (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Eliana is my favorite. It feels more mature than the other names. Plus it works for all ages and has some good nn's. It blends well with my partially Latina ethnicity.
My least favorite is Noelle. I've never been fond of it. It seems a bit redneck and cheesy to me. It also sounds like "No L". I prefer Noel for boys but even that feels like someone trying too hard to seem classy to the point it becomes cheesy. Well unless you are a French person, then Noel and Noelle are okay. Though I do think naming your child Christmas has a certain level of cheese to it even if you are French.
In order: Eliana, Lily, Peony, and Noelle.
Lily - It is a bit too popular, that is my biggest issue with it. It also sounds a bit young but it isn't that bad though I prefer Lillian.
Peony - Works well for all ages and it has elegance, grace, and strength but it also has a bit of an odd sound to it. But I can get past that odd sound enough to love it.

Favorite Names:
Leona, Fiona, Artemis, Hazel, Luna, Serafina, Vivian, Dorothea, Stella, Aurora, Ursa, Clara, Augustine, Iris, Maeve, Citrina, Eleanor, Maple, Callisto
Kieran, Rowan, Cedar, Connor, Arthur, Magnus, Finn, Theron, Xavier, Teagan, Quinn, Cedric, Adrian, Julian, Tristan, Gavin, Gryphon
