Could you give some opinions on these names? Maybe rate in order of preference. Thanks

Olivia: classic but ubiquitous, love Libby or Liv as a nn
Layla: contemporary, quirky, prefer Eric Clapton spelling rather than Futurama
Poppy: I love flower names, love poppies, esp if summer baby, but it is for me an upper class name like Pippa, plus I do not want to share anything in common with Katie Hopkins, sorry ;-)

Agree with a pp that Layla is nicer spelled Leila

I would pronounce Leila as Leela. Isn't futurama Leila pronounced Leela?

Anyway my favourite would be Layla, with Poppy and Olivia waaaaay down there, just too overused for my taste.

Leila is a lovely (and proper) name; Layla, IMO, just isn't. Spelling makes a real difference.
I like Olivia, also Poppy, but they are so very of their time. They'd date her, in much the same way as Jane/Claire/Kate/Louise (all lovely names) dated my generation.

Layla, love

Poppy, nice name but quite popular

Olivia, really don't like, reminds me of olives (green, bitter, salty, oily & shiny) plus is incredibly popular

Also think Layla would be better spelt Leila
