[Quattrocento]

I like them all

Oh except I would prefer Sophie to Sofia

[bronze]

DO I have to?

They are all lovely. If you need one then maybe they're a little popular at the moment

[bronze]

Oh I prefer Sophia as its more 'English'

[Lulumama]

Alice not my most favourite, neither is maria. but olde worlde

Isobel and Sophia, yes,definitely !

[bronze]

Oh crap that sounds bad. I'm goign to vanish now

[GossipMonger]

I prefer Isabelle as a spelling amd Sophie.

Not keen on Maria but love Alice.

[sockmonster]

haha bronze don't vanish! Random spelling as have spanish/mexican heritage. I think Isabel is maybe too popular, but is DP favourite...

[TheFallenMadonna]

I like all except Alice. And I don't hate that. Prefer Isobel. Not Sophie.

[bronze]

ok then prefer IsObel too

[alicecrail]

I like Isobel but really hate Izzy as a nn. obviously i like Alice, as that is my horses name but would have considered for DD if it wasn't

[sockmonster]

haha

oh pleeease be mean! I really am terribly indecisive, I need cutting remarks to eliminate possible names! . Others considered are

Liliana- dp hates this
Emily- too popular?

[Tortington]

sofe
nah
izzy
alli - isn't that a diet thing that makes you shit?

[lljkk]

They are all nice.
I prefer Lilian to Liliana, myself.
Sofia is probably my favourite.
Although I have an Isabel.
Isabel is extremely popular -- far more common than Emily. I barely know anyone named Emily but I know almost a dozen Isabel's under ten! Isabelle or Isobel are more common spellings (might be easier to get personalised items).
Alice is quite uncommon now -- if you prefer more uncommon names.

[TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets]

Custardo - it's apparently pronounced a-lie - probably a myth put about by people called Alice

Love Alice and prefer Sophia/Sophie. Emily (too) popular but still lovely, Liliana was a character from Neighbours who I hated with a passion. So therefore hate that name.

[bronze]

Ok too many Izys around. Bloody millions of them in this village, about half the girls

Liliana, just no dunno why but there you go

Maria needs to be dark imho so if youre all fair no

erm

racks brains for more reasons to rule some out

[janeite]

I have an Isobel and an Alice. I didn't realise when naming my Isobel that there were so many of them. Having also insisted when agreeing to name her Isobel that she would never be Izzy, she insisted on being Izzy as soon as she was old enough to have an opinion. There are two Isobels in her clas, both of whom are known as Izzy.

I don't like Sofia at all, although I can't quite work out why.

[sockmonster]

I knew I could rely on you lot!

[Tortington]

alice! alice who the fuck is alice?

Maria maria maria mariiiiiiiiia, i just kissed a gilr called maaaaaaaaria

izzy - twill be izzy at 13 guarentee it

sofia lofia mofia gofia - nah can't think of anythin to do with this name apart from she will be constantly called sophie

[sockmonster]

Ok, I'm leaning towards

Alice if baby has fairish hair (dd1 had golden hair/blue eyes, which was extremely surprising given my colouring!)

Isabel if dark. BUT I think there are too many Isabels. Hence sofia/maria. But I'm not sure...

More criticism please!

[janeite]

It's funny but I'd see Alice as the brunette and Isobel as the blonde - probably thinking of Alice Liddel.

[LaDiDaDi]

I'm not keen on Maria. Like the rest though,

[Paolosgirl]

Not keen on Maria - it's a bit nothing, iykwim

Love the others though

[sockmonster]

I guess Maria has been a bit ruined for me by that 'how do you solve a problem like maria' show...

eeugh

[OrmIrian]

Alice is the only one I could stand. All the others are too girls and frilly. Isobel has 'sob' in it and the others end in 'ia'.

So there
