Aisla is beautiful but I must confess I prefer the Isla spelling but that's just for ease and less chance people will mispronounce it.

Not keen on Maisy, it's a cute name but one that she will outgrow by the time she's 4! Just sounds like a little girl's name to me but one that doesn't really translate will into adulthood.

I'd go with Aisla from all the names you have mentoned.

Maisy goes well with Lola. (although Daisy is nicer)

I don't like Erin, harriet or that other name... Aslia

Like Harriet but think Maisie goes best with Lola.

JeMeSouviens · 22/07/2010 03:07

Really love Erin and like Harriet (nn Hattie)

proudfoot · 22/07/2010 01:36

Harriet

Hedwig3 · 21/07/2010 19:00

Lola and Erin

MercyMe · 21/07/2010 10:44

Harriet love the nn Hatty

I really dislike Aisla - sorry!

zenoushka · 21/07/2010 09:51

Erin goes really well with Lola.

ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave · 21/07/2010 09:39

Out of all those I like Harriet best. Harriets I've known tend to be Hat or Hattie if they shorten it at all.

Umm... Esme? Maya? Matilda (Tilly)?

I quite fancied having a Hatty though

Aisla is just going to lead to a lifetime of misspellings and mispronounciations.

Erin

because Maisy isn't a name for an adult and I don't like Harriet getting shortened to Harry esp given how many boys are Harry/Harrisons these days.

PaintingTheFence · 21/07/2010 09:25

Harriet and Maisy.

IPredictADiet · 21/07/2010 08:46

Harriet is lovely.
As ever, DH has vetoed it for current bump.

DuelingFanjo · 21/07/2010 08:46

Erin.

My Dh has said we can't use it and I am

oh bugger... this doesnt help

Erin and Harriet are my suggestions, and Aisla is a family name for DP...

Erin - don't like. One of those fake Irish names that Americans call their kids. See also Shannon.

Aisla - not a name. Do you mean Ailsa? Or Isla?

Maisy - I like it in theory (it was my gran's name) but I think it's a bit too cutesy.

Harriet - I don't like as I have an aversion to 'posh' names.

Will think of possible names that go with Lola.

telsa · 21/07/2010 08:44

Erin is my favourite out of these - simple but very shimmery. Goes nicely with 4-lettered Lola too. Very different sounding but just as neat and not too cutesy (like Maisy) or too prim (like Harriet). IMHO!

Erin and Harriett.

Maisy is a little girls name, it doesn't sound like a woman's name to me.

Aisla is unusual but not to my taste, but its not my baby

takethatlady · 21/07/2010 08:42

How are you pronouncing Aisla?

I think Erin goes best with Lola
