Marnie Alice
Jemima Kate
Lara Ottilie
Alice Jemima

All of the above work with our surname, we just can't decide which of the 4 names to go for. Would SO appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks in advance.

Alice is nice, but I'm not keen on Jemima at all. Lara Ottilie is my favourite of those.

My preference would be a combination of two - Alice Kate.

None of those combinations...

I prefer eg

Alice Kate (though would go for Catherine, myself)
Marnie Lara
Lara Alice
Ottlie Alice

Don't like Marnie - there was a film of that name about a thief. Long time ago so most people won't remember.

Don't like Jemima (Puddleduck).

Alice and Kate are my favourites.

I like Lara but not with the middle name listed. I'd go for Lara Kate.

What a great list Op! Love Jemima, Ottilie and Marnie. Gorgeous names. The only one I am not so keen on is Alice. It sounds quite pleasant but written down I just see 'lice' But that's just me being odd I expect! Fab names Smile

Lara is by far my favourite first name listed. But I really don't like Ottilie at all. Even if I did, I don't think it flows well with Lara as it ends up sounding like one word (too many vowels together). Of your choices, I would go with Jemima Kate. But personally think Lara Kate would be the best combo.

I have a real dislike for the names Ottilie and Jemima. Ottilie because it sounds like a combination of oddly and utterly. Utterly oddly...no thank you.

Jemima is better but not by much.

So...by process of elimination I'd have to say Marnie Alice Grin .

In everyday life no one really uses middle names though, do they? So I'd concentrate more on choosing the perfect first name and then let the middle name just slot into place iyswim.

If you just look at the first names, Lara definitely my favourite of these.
