I strongly felt first DC was a boy and was right and strongly feel this one is a girl.
So we have narrowed down the girls names to the following:
Susie
Leila
Louisa
Charlotte

What peoples thoughts and/or preferences?

Love Susie but with Susannah as a full name. Also love Leila but have an old friend of that name so it's out for me. The others are a tad dull. Sorry :)

Louisa or Charlotte from your list.

Leila just makes me think "and Stitch", and Susie isn't a full name.

Louisa is my favourite, followed by Charlotte. I don't much like Leila, and I'm not too sure about Susie.

Louisa then Susie if it's a nn for Susannah.

I like Louisa a lot.
Charlotte a close second.

Leila much further behind in third position.

Susie failing to make the finishing line.

Susie is adorable - as a nickname. Susanna(h) absolutely beautiful as the full name. You can't have a high court judge called Susie!

You other choices are all nice too, although prefer Louise or Luisa to Louisa.

All nice names. Susannah with Susie as a nn would be lovely.

Leila wins easily for me.

Susie - love, but if a nn for Susannah
Leila - can't get excited about this name (layla, lily, lila.. all merge into one in my mind)
Louisa - my favourite. a great underused classic, beautiful, with lovely nns too (Louie, Loulou etc)
Charlotte - for some irrational reason, this is one of my least favourite girls names.

Louisa is my favourite I think.

Susie would be fine as a nn for Suzanne, Susannah etc but not as a full name. I agree with the judge comment!

Leila or Louisa. Or Susannah.

I like Susie and Louisa. But I don't think this thread will help you at all as there seems to be no consensus! Except that most people prefer Susannah to Susie. I, for one, think you could have a judge Susie; she could always be Sue.

I like Louisa - but then I am biased as it's my name (even though it's a bit dull according to Rockbird Wink).

Great thanks all - really appreciate your opinions.
We've decided on either Susanna or Louisa.
I'm actually amazed how quickly and easily we narrowed it down considering how long we've been procrastinating the discussion. Roll on January to meet her (or maybe him)

I'm not sure Louisa would suit a boy... Wink
