I like all except Carrie - there are too many spellings and it will be annoying. Natalie is my favorite of this group.

Erica is the name of Heather when it's at home in the botany book, so I like it, and don't associate it with the name Eric.

I had a good friend called Erin and another called Aerin, so that one's cool, too.

Carrie seems like the movie, or like a nickname.

Natalie Attired? Natalie Dressed? Not a big fan, for that reason.

Natalie is best followed by Erica. Doesn’t get more boring than Carrie but acceptable if it’s a nickname for Caroline or similar. Neutral on Erin!

I agree with the majority and I like Natalie the best as well.. although I have a friend named Natalie and everyone calls her Nat and it makes me think of a gnat.

Carrie will forever remind me of Sissy Spacek from the Stephen King movie/book..

I'm not the only one! This was literally one of my central criteria for naming a daughter -- I did not want a feminized version of a male name, and especially not a common male name. It's amazing how many names this eliminates!

I love Natalie. Also love Erin, but it feels very 1980s.

I've always loved the names Erin and Natalie. Erica feels dated in a not great way to me. Carrie is fine, just never been one of my favorites.

Natalie is the only good option here.

I also only like Natalie. The others are meh to me.

I love Natalie, it was one of my top choices.

Erica - Nice enough.
Erin - Pass.
Carrie - “Nicknamy.” Love Carina, nn Carrie.
Natalie - I love Natasha and Natalia. Natalie is not bad, but it’s the poor man’s Natalia.

Erica - ugly name
Erin - ugly name in a different way from Erica
Carrie - boring name
Natalie - this is the good one. I like this.

Perfectly nice names, but a bit plain. Pick whichever one you love.

Another post on girl names. Looking for honest opinions on these names, please:

Erica
Erin
Carrie
Natalie

These are our top contenders and need a gut check! Last name two syllables, starts with a W. Thank you.
