I really thought I was having another boy, but I have just found out its another girl we had a shortlist
Lydia
Mia
Hazel
Imogen
Rose/Rosie

Now Dp thinks he doesn't really want any of them and he quite likes Sophie or Abigail we already have a Justin and a Phoebe.

love both Sophie and Abigail

do you like the shortened version, Abi? If not, maybe think again with Abigail as often it gets shortened

I have a Sophie, I wanted Lydia and DH was adament that she was a Sophie..when the C Section haze finally cleared I had to agree with him. So no help from me but I love all your names but obviously Sophie and Lydia the most. I wanted to use Lydia and call her lydie.

I love Lydia and Hazel, and although I do really like Sophie, please pick either Susie or Sylvie. They are both kind of similar and yet much, much rarer.

I love Hazel -- twist your DH's arm. Second choice would be Abigail. I prefer Sophia to Sophie.

Obviously I think the name is fabulous However, I do like Abigail but would end up shortening it to Abi.

Love Rose and Lydia. Imogen is nice but would get shortened to Immy.

Sophie is lovely but a little safe.

My DD is a Sofie- named after a childhood friend. Always loved the thought and sound of it.

I called my daughter Sophia throughout the whole pregnancy, I LOVE THAT NAME!.. but my husband was undecided... when she came out i really wanted to name her straight away and he liked Grace.. so she is now a Grace Eloise. Sophie is popular, but thats because its such a nice name! My midwife told me that all Spohies are naughty! (but not sure thats a bad thing!)

I like the name Abigail, i wanted to call my dd Abigail, but my dh's best friend beat us to it and called his dd Abigail.

The name Sophie is nice, pretty. It is quite popular amongst primary school children IME, if that bothers you.

I prefer Sophie to the other names in your lists, although like Rose as a middle name. Not as keen on Abigail either.

I like Sophie. It's what I would name a girl if I have one.

Sophie was quite unusual 19 yrs ago when I named DD1,then became very popular.
Still like it though..

Very popular I much prefer Imogen. Personally think it sounds too much like soppy - I know that is unfair and irrational but it does.
