Alice sounds like it would be the name of an elderly woman.

Mackenzie isn’t too bad but gives spoiled mean girl and/or airhead vibes.

Cassidy is the best name on your list. It sounds like the name of a sweet, down-to-earth girl.


Did you by chance name your DD Keturah?

No?! That’s bad in a different way.

Most of the people who care about it are the ones who grew up with a common name and hated it. People think having a basic name equates to being a basic person.

I love Cassidy. I don’t like the rest. They’re not my taste.

Hard no to Mackenzie (will get spelled infinite bad ways, I associate it with like mormon mommy blogger vibes)

Claire/Alice are the same category for me: not bad, a little boring

Cassidy I like that it has personality, can you deal with Cass/cassie? I also like Cassandra better though and I think it’s a tick for refined and classic than Cassidy which gives me 60’s folk-rock vibes

Emma is very pretty and was so overdone for a while but I feel like if you had an Emma now she would be the only one in her class.

I don't particularly like any of these but if you must stick to these then Emma sounds better. To be fair, unless a name is really bad or difficult, it doesn't matter that much. In current world, probably best to pick something universal, easy to spell and easy to pronounce.

I prefer Cassandra to Cassidy. I don't care for Mackenzie, it feels dated to me.


I agree that Cassandra is better than Cassidy.

Emma is too popular for my taste.
