I like Juliet and Hazel.

I've never been a Mae fan. Laurel sounds too nature-y for me. I have nothing against Willa or Faye; they just aren't my style.

I love Faye and Juilet, I really don't like the others.

If you like Willa why not Willow?

I love Willa and I hate Willow. Willow doesn't seem like a name to me and it sounds too much like pillow.

Willa - it's been growing on me
Faye - Dunaway. I think of it as an old lady name
Juliet - LOVE.
Hazel - Eh.
Laurel - No. Bad associations with a Lauren and it's too close.
Mae - West. Love it.

Love Juliet and love Mae. I would use Mae as a middle name, but I adore Juliet.

I adore the name Mae. It's my little sister's middle name so if I ever use it it would have significance, but I just love the sound of it!

I love all those names and also your icon.

First of all, I love your icon. Second of all, the only one I really liked was Juliet, but... someone named that has DUN ME RONG and since then I've ceased to like it at all.

Is that so bad? I mean my husband has a spanish last name, and we've pretty much decided on all irish/ hebrew names. Never mind, I just thought of the name Willa Mae Abromowitz, lol.

Willa: Sounds to masculine to me for some reason.. I associate it with William I guess.
Faye: Love this.
Juliet: Classicly pretty, but starting to be overdone.
Hazel: I like it as a middle name.
Laurel: Not my style.
Mae: Love it as both a first and middle.

I like Willa, Mae, and Juliet a lot. Mae is really cute, I'd love to see someone with this as a first name (or May). Laurel is fine, and Faye is a bit dated for me but could work with the right middle name. I hate Hazel. Ugly.

Willa - i prefer Willow, Willa sounds incomplete to me

Faye - Love this. I know two 4 year olds with this name, but they're the only Faye's i know, soit's not overly common here (UK). Another name which sounds similar is Freya (pro. Fray-uh), i actually like this more than Faye.

Juliet - I think this is cute as long as u dont use the nn julie.

Hazel - kind of 'eh' to me

Laurel - I don't like it. I prefer Lauren

Mae - i like this :)

My fave from your list is Faye =) Good luck!

Willa: it's ok.. but I prefer Willow (my daughter's name) and it's not that common it hasn't hit the top 500 in the US, so that's less that 500 kids per year with it.

Faye: Makes me think of Tammy Faye Baker, so ew.

Juliet: I like it

Hazel: It's a tree name (which I love) but the name itself makes me think of someone's grandma baking pies.. lol

Laurel: another tree name! I love it but my BF already said no if our #2 is a girl.
Mae: it's ok, but again.. sounds like an old lady.

With Willow it was so easy, I've wanted to use that name since I was 13 years old (I had her at 28) and he just loved the name, we didn't even bother thinking of others. BUT, this time I suggested literally hundreds of names and he hated everything - so I told him to suggest some.. he suggested about 5 and I hated those.. lol

About a month ago I thought of a name, looked up the meaning and the popularity and it hasn't been in the top 1000 since 1994. So, of course, I'm not telling anyone what it is.. lol

Willa - I like it. I like Willow too but I think they're both a little too "hippyish" for me to use.
Faye - I don't really like it.
Juliet - Pretty
Hazel - Blah. Liked this when I was a kid but not anymore.
Laurel - It sounds too much like Lauren and every Lauren I've ever known has been a total bitch.
Mae - Love this as a middle name, maybe not so much as a first.
