Just looking for opinions on my girl's name shortlist.

The surname starts with C and has two syllables, and the three options are:

Clara
Alexa
Sylvie

Can't decide which is the nicest!

Love Sylvie. Clara I do love but it's becoming very popular I think. Saw Carla suggested recently and I think that's lovely. I also like Carly.

Not at all keen on Alexa. Hard to say. Lexie is cute but apparently it is the c word.

Sylvie, I mention it all the time on MN!

I also like Clara, (and, Carla - i suggest that one a lot too) but not Alexa

I LOVE Alexa, it was one that I suggested for dd, that exH hated.

Clara is nice (Have you read confessions of an Ugly Stepsister???)

Sylvie was the name of the traveller women who tricked and robbed me and the other girl I used to live with, so funnily enough I do not like that one!

Thanks for the opinions. Might have already ruled Sylvie out as DD1 is Lily, and not quite sure they go together v well :-(

Manatee - no, not read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister....toddles off to Google it...

Lily and Sylvie are a bit similar, although it's a very pretty name.
Clara is very sweet, and Lily and Clara sound nice together.

Whaah, Sylvie! Wish I had thought of that.
What a gorgeous cute, feminine , beautiful name.
