It would be Lucy for me, such a beautiful classic name, not faddy.

They are all lovely, but I think that Rose is beautiful and underused as a first name so that gets my vote

Thanks everyone! Mn is decided - but didn't want it to influence first name choice as it's been chosen for family reasons. It goes fine with them all though! Thanks for your opinions.

We have a Lucy Isabelle - she is 6 years old and awesome :) Lucy used to get called Cece by her brother when she was a baby/toddler! Expecting a baby in August and for a middle name we are thinking about Rosa (or Eva - decisions, decisions!!). I would go for 1) Lucy 2) Rose

Isobel is fine. Naomi sounds like a harder mixture of syllables to pronounce then most other names and does not roll out easily - when you have to say it again and again - (just me though I'm sure). Lucy has a friend called Naomi and I must have heard it pronounced Nay-me (and other variants) a hundred times. You would have trouble shortening this too (if you wanted). It's fine though.

Lucy - lovely
Rose - also lovely
Isobel - overused at the moment
Naomi - lovely Biblical name, but can have pronunciation issues.

I'd pick Lucy.

I have a Lucy and thought there would be loads of them, but I don't know any others. She is 11 and I don't know any younger ones in her brother and sisters' circle of friends.

Rose and Isobel v popular round here. Not that that would put me off but we have Isobel B, Isobel M and Izzy H in one class.

Naomi lovely but could annoy you if you want it pronounced in a particular way. Are you intending Nay -O - mi or a NAY-o - mi? I suspect people might go for both so if this will annoy you it is something to bear in mind.
