Hi everyone.
Im expecting a baby girl in July. So far the names we have are:

Which do you prefer? Any other ideas for middle names would be great :)

Sophia Rose is lovely and very pretty Smile

Jokat · 09/04/2011 22:01

My dd is called Leila Angelica, but I think Leila Rose is very pretty, too!

Watchingthebirdsflyby · 08/04/2011 04:25

Sophia Rose! Leila is OK but always makes me think of the song, and really don't like Sienna.

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 08/04/2011 04:07

Anything but Sienna.

doireallywant3 - i can beat that - my dd is sophia ruby! was raging when heard about clancey stealing her name! Angry

sazlou i'd go for sophia rose - although not sure i want to encourage more people to name their child sophia! Wink

MamaLazarou · 18/03/2011 13:57

All the first names are lovely. I would like to see more Siennas, it's such a pretty sound. Not keen on Rose or Faye, sorry.

mamasmissionimpossible · 18/03/2011 13:21

My dd is Leila. I love the name, but just a word of warning, I do find many people spell it either Laila or Layla, if they don't know her. I think it is getting more popular as a girls name.

I have a sophia - 18mo... beautiful name from the greek meaning wisdom.
though am now concerned to hear that abbey clancy has named her dd sophia. will this start a trend of little scouse sophia's?!

Sophia (but Faye doesn't really go with it).

Emelene · 16/03/2011 19:42

I like Sophia best. I know a Leila but many people spell it Layla so she is always having to correct people. I don't know whether that would bother you?

I think Sophia Rose is beautiful! :)
I quite like Sophia Juliette or Sophia Grace for alternative middle names...

hi again!
thanks for all your views really helpful. I originally liked Sienna Rose best but it seems this isnt very popular ha ha!
Starting to warm to Sophia Rose/Leila Rose now though :)

Not keen on any but really dislike Sienna so would go for either of the other two.

TysonNobdie86 · 15/03/2011 21:04

I like Sophia Rose tbh

DaydreamDollyisshrinking · 15/03/2011 21:01

Congratulations on your little girl!

I like Sophia and Leila (incidentally as soon as I read this name I pronounce it Ley-La), and agree Sophia Rose sounds better than Sophia Faye.

Underachieving · 15/03/2011 20:59

Sophia Faye

MrsSnow · 15/03/2011 20:33

Sienna - no

Leila - lovely

Sophia Rose for the reasons babyapplejack said.

babyapplejack · 15/03/2011 20:08

I like Sophia, lovely name. Prefer it with Rose rather than Faye, partly because every time she said her middle name, she'd have to say "Faye with an e on the end" and it would probably still end up being spelt incorrectly. Also, Sophia Faye has lots of f sounds in it. Sophia Rose sounds better IMO.

Sienna - don't like.

Leila - like the name but there are a lot of variant spellings and it would annoy me personally to keep having to correct it.
