Been thinking about these girls names lately, & wanted your opinions on them.

Ramona
Magnolia
Everly
Molly
Pearl
Nahla
Minna
Mabel
Sabrina (is it too teenage witchy?)

Not necessarily sure I'd use them, but they're just names floating around in my head. Ramona, Magnolia & Everly are the only one's I think like like. Maybe Sabrina too.
So, your thoughts?

** Edited to fix the spelling of Romona to Ramona. It was late at night, lol.

I like Molly and Sabrina, mostly because I've known people as both. The "Teenage Witch" thing never occurred to me with the three Sabrina's I've known, even though I used to LOVE that show.

Romona and Magnolia are my favorites of the three you'd plan on using.

I really dislike Nahla.

I love the name Sabrina. It reminds of the water nymph from John Milton's Comus. http://www.katyberry.com/Nerina/Sabrina.html

Pearl is nice, too!

Romona sounds too much like Romano cheese to me.

I prefer Ramona spelled that way, but I would never use it because my best friend dated an extremely annoying girl named Ramona.

Everly, Molly, and Sabrina are the ones I really like, though I don't know that I'd use them.

Minna and Nahla are NMS at all.

Pearl, Magnolia, and Mabel all remind me of sweet little old ladies.

I like Ramona and Molly. Minna is pretty interesting. Sabrina is nice. I don't think it's too teenage witch or anything. The others aren't terrible, just not my style.

I love Ramona (spelt like this though) and its actually one of my top girl picks. Molly and Everly are nice too.
The others are ok, just not really my style.

Sabrina is probably my favorite on that list. I wouldn't worry about the "teenage witch" association. It's been going out of style for a long time now, and unless there's a new movie made or something (unlikely), I doubt any other children would even know who "Sabrina the teenage witch" was.

Molly and Romona also have nice old-fashioned charms. I like Romona slightly better than Molly.

I love Magnolia (my cat's name), Everly (growing on me so much), Pearl, Mabel and Sabrina.

I like Ramona better than Romona.

I think that Romona sounds odd,it doesn't roll off the tongue like Ramona. Unless you want that "rome" sound at the beginning.

I dislike Nahla, Minna, Molly. I don't mind Sabrina or Mabel, but I wouldn't use them. I like Everly, Magnolia, and Pearl, although I would never use any of them.

I don't know about Romona, but Ramona has grown me. There's an actress in a show I love with the name so she's endeared it to me. I wouldn't ever use it though because of the "moan" part of the name. I could see boys teasing about that in high school.

Molly is sweet and I like Pearl.

Sabrina does definitely make me think of the teenage witch, and I don't much care for it anyway.

I like Minna and Nahla best out of those names. I like Ramona, but not Romona.

The only one I'd ever use on a real person is Molly.

Ramona - LOVE. Love, love.
Magnolia - on the edge of being pretty
Everly - pretty
Molly - dog's name
Pearl - at first, quite old, but I can picture it on a teenager as fresh
Nahla - too Lion King-esque, really unattractive
Minna - totally indifferent to it
Mabel - really, really old lady, and not in the way that's coming back
Sabrina - '80s

Ramona- I like it, but would immediately shorten it to Romy.
Magnolia-Love it.
Everly-Not my style.
Molly-I like Molly. It has a definite sass to it, but I could never use it. My name is Holly.
Pearl-It makes me think of the landlord video.
Nahla-Reminds me of the Lion King.
Minna-Cute.
Mabel-Like it.
Sabrina-I associate it more with Hepburn than the teen witch. But I prefer Sabina.

Minna was my granmother's name, I'd definitely use it to honor her :)
