Don't like Bryleigh or Sian.

Olivia is my fave followed by:
Meghan
Cara
Freya
Isla

cora. much nicer than cara.

Beamur · 21/01/2011 22:35

Olivia I like the best, but wouldn't choose it because its a bit too popular.
I'd go for Cara or Sian because I think they sound nice when you say them out loud.
I also know a Sian who is a lovely girl.

Cara or Sian.

HelenaRose · 21/01/2011 22:33

Cara - beautiful
Freya - lovely
Isla - beautiful, but very popular
Meghan - prefer spelled 'Megan'
Olivia - not keen
Bryleigh - ...
Sian - sounds like most of the word "shan't". Although I do know a Sian and she's nice.

PlanetLizard · 21/01/2011 22:29

Cara - very nice (not Cora, which is like apple corers or cores). Also like Clara, Carina, Corinne

Freya - dislike, frayed material

Isla - very pretty, although Iona even nicer IMO

Meghan - lovely name, but with spelling Megan

Olivia - not particularly keen

Bryleigh - no

Sian - quite nice

Cara stands out by some way for me.

Isla is the nicest. Freya is really popular at the moment, it's nice but I wouldn't want my DD to have a name that everyone else had.

Angelisacenterfold · 21/01/2011 20:55

I don't like any of them, but Sian if you must.

I misread Cara as Clara, which I love.

Isla or Freya.

pointydug · 21/01/2011 20:47

Cara - good name

Freya - don;t really like, not sure why

Isla - it's ok, clean, simple

Meghan - don't mind Megan, don;t like the h

Olivia - don't like, floral pinny

Bryleigh - no

Sian - quite nice

I'd go for Cara

McHobbes · 21/01/2011 20:37

Cara - pretty but well common these days - loved by chavs the nation over

Freya - my favourite

Isla - like this one too

Meghan - see Cara

Olivia - it's ok, but agian very popular....more loved by the Boden set though

Bryleigh - no

Sian - not bad

perpetuallypregnant · 21/01/2011 20:34

I like cara too.

Twinklebum · 21/01/2011 20:33

freya is my fav from ur list!

Hassled · 21/01/2011 20:31

I like Isla, Cara and Meghan. Meghan is probably my favourite.

diddl · 21/01/2011 20:27

Cara.

deliakate · 21/01/2011 19:24

I love Cara. If you have any kind of Irish connection anywhere, go for that one. Freya I personally wouldn't use, because its Nordic and I think it suits a blonde better than dark hair, like I have.

Pterosaur · 21/01/2011 19:21

Isla.

maandpa · 21/01/2011 19:19

Freya

FanjolinaJolie · 21/01/2011 19:17

Freya or Isla

Olivia is lovely but very popular so hgh chance of more than one in school class.

You like -a endings, how about Anna or Emma?

lalalonglegs · 21/01/2011 19:17

Isla

ellie21 · 21/01/2011 19:13

I like Cara. I work in a school and there are loads of Olivias and Meghans but very few Caras. I think its a really pretty name.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 21/01/2011 19:12

Cara or Freya
