HelpWhat do you think of these names?
Replies
Ooh, I love these names!
Appoline- I love names related to Apollo (my name on here is Apollonia), but prefer this one spelled Apolline
Bridget- This is one of my top girl names
Carole- Not a fan. It reminds me of a 50 year old
Dorcas- Not a fan
Eglantine- I really want to like this name. It’s elegant and the flower is beautiful. But, unfortunately, the first syllable sounds like egg
Franka- Not a fan.
Giselle- I love the ballet, and the name by extension
Hyacinth- I think it’s pretty, and I like its connection to Greek mythology (though the story is tragic)
Iselle- I feel like it’s missing something. Prefer Isolde or Isabel

Appoline- it's okay
Bridget- I want to like this name, but it never works out
Carole- a little outdated, but a solid name nonetheless
Dorcas- I knew someone with this name, nice person, but not a fan of the name itself
Eglantine - feels like a better name for a character, for example, a chicken in a Wallace and Gromit movie, or a very old woman sitting on a porch in a rocking chair
Franka - it's okay, it feels a bit harsh and unfeminine
Giselle - I don't like the Gis sound
Hyacinth - okay, but I'd prefer Cynthia
Iselle - I don't like this, she would forever have people thinking her name is misspelled and should be Isabelle

Appoline- I prefer Apolline but it looks like typo version of it.
Bridget- It's so cute and gorgeous.
Carole - Not bad but a bit of dated in my opinion.
Dorcas- I don't care it due to pronunciation issues but it would better for fictional character.
Eglantine - I don't like it.
Franka - I prefer Franca or Frances.
Giselle - Beautiful but I prefer any variant of it is Gisela and Gisella.
Hyacinth - Beautiful and cute but also reminds me of Cynthia and it would better for fictional character.
Iselle - Cute but it looks like a contraction of Isabelle or variant form of Isolde.

I like Carol, Giselle and Hyacinth, the others are ok but I don’t particularly like them. I think Dorcas sounds too much like “dork.”
Appoline- much prefer Pauline
Bridget- excellent, timeless, fun!
Carole - awful - dated and drab; the -e adds nothing; Carol is better, but not good; Caroline is great
Dorcas- quite pleasant; prefer Tabitha
Eglantine - awful: where I live it's an invasive alien plant which causes a lot of trouble
Franka - nonsense: what's so wrong with Frances, or Francine?
Giselle - balletic; prefer Gisele
Hyacinth - sounds like someone greeting Cynthia
Iselle - contracted form of Isabelle, perhaps? Far prefer less complicated Isobel or Isabel

Franka is Croatian
Then by all means ask a Croatian what they think of Franka.
What do you mean
It seems obvious to me that opinions must be based on information if they are to be at all interesting and useful, so Croatians could make a worthwhile contribution but I could not.
well giselle, franka, carole and bridget are fine. but bridget is only ok cause i know it is used in e.g. the movies „bridget jones“.
the other names are not names.
eglantine reminds me of eggs.
dorcas sounds like dorks and ducks.
hyacinth is the name of a flower. sounds like sth you would name a fantasy character.

Appoline - I don't care much for it, if it's pronounced how I assume. Apollonia or Apollinariya astrike me as prettier.
Bridget - Methinks you've asked about this one before. I like it. I also don't think it's very pretty.
Carole - This is the kind of name that I'd see as very usable if it was in honor of a family member or something. On its own, it's pretty dated. I do tend to prefer Carole to Carol.
Dorcas - Nope. The "dork" sound is both begging for mockery and unattractive.
Eglantine - Meh, not a fan.
Franka - This is one of the least attractive of the "frank-" names.
Giselle - I like it. It's Beyoncé's middle name, too.
Hyacinth - This sounds like a great soap opera character name. Not a human.
Iselle - Not sure what this is.

My favs are: Bridget & Giselle.
