I am struggling for a girls name.
Decided on Lucy but now worried re its popularity.

Its so hard and due soon ;)

oh, and an m name still snuck in there sorry!

I'm teacher in a school of approx 350 and there are only 3 Lucy's that I can think of. It's not uncommon but I don't think it's at epidemic proportions yet.

Mind you we're 7 up s there might be multitudes of Lucys in the nursery/infant sections of the school, I don't know.

Avoiding a ends and m starts (rules out a surprising number of my favourites) I like:
amber, autumn, amy, daisy, felicity, grace, harriet, isabel, juliette, madeleine, natalie, zoey

They say my dds name is popular on here too and I have only met two. One who's 8 and one who's 9.... I liked Alice too but didn't LOVE it...

How about Emily, Jemima, Elizabeth, Eliza, Martha?

Cant have a name with an a sound at the end due to our surname so things like francesca are out.

Not too bothered about length etc oh and not one that starts with an m due to our other daughters name.... ;)

we chose abigail as it is not very common and according to anarticle we read in a newspaper on a poll of teachers, they said girls called abigail were the nicest in the class!! we didnt find that out until she was 3 months old though!

How about Lucia, it's very pretty and not as popular as LucySmile

What sort of names do you like, short/long, mod/trad, unusual etc...?
