Lacey
Lexi
Ruby
Ava
Kacey

Not thought too much about spellings yet and definitely no middle name.
Thanks :)

Ava and Ruby are my picks

A1980 · 29/07/2011 22:36

Lacey - ok

Lexi - Awful. I'm Alexandra and I HATE it when people call me Lexi. It's chavvy.

Ruby-too popular

Ava - Like this

Kacey - no!

Or Annie? There I had a go.

Offspring I'm meaning more the way ppl where I live will say The name rather than the actual name being 'chavvy'. Some names sound better in different accents. Love the name Louisa but know some1wv that name n realy don't like her!
Think il try the new 100 list for sum new inspiration !

GetOutMyPub - my niece is called Tierney too! I feel the same as you about it.

OP if you think Sasha is chavvy (your word) then I agree with whoever said that Kasey and Lacey are definitely more so.

What about Macy?

MsChanandlerBong · 28/07/2011 11:37

What about:

Milly
Molly
Cassie
Susie
Carly

As you can probably tell, I think a 2 syllable name ending in a ee sound works best with Lola

FairyArmadillo · 28/07/2011 09:32

I've always liked the name name Kasey but spelled Casey. My friend just named her daughter Kasey with a K.

OP, Ava is the third most popular girl's name in Scotland, but if you don't mind about popularity, go for it.

Here is the top 100, it might help with more ideas.

Offspring · 28/07/2011 04:18

I also like Ava and Ruby from your list, although you don't seem very convinced.

Eden
Briony
Bonnie
Ebony
Skye

If this next one is another girl we are considering Eloise, Louisa or Thea if that helps. Trying to think outside my usual taste, which I'm guessing you wouldn't like as my beautiful (and unchavvy) DD is Sasha .

ensure · 26/07/2011 23:56

I really really don't like Lacey. Kacey is worse. Dislike Lexi. Especially with another L name.
I don't particularly like Ruby very much either.
So I would choose Ava from your list!

Ruby and Ava aren't popular where I live. Still not sure if I like them though. My partners pretty much ruled out Lacey and Lexi but I still really love Lacey though no-one else agrees! I don't think it matters if its another L name either.

Jolie
Cleo
Joelle

Lonnie · 26/07/2011 23:20

I am voting against Ruby and Ava they are SO popular.. please dont do it.

I like Lexie and I do not think its a problem you have another L name. Lacey is the name of this adorable 3 year old I know so I also get a warm fluffy feeling over that one.. not so keen on Kacey personally..

BibiBelle · 26/07/2011 23:05

Ava was very popular where we used to live (cheshire) and is also very popular where we are now (sussex).

Names are so subjective and you really should go with what you like, within reason.

However, if you're interested, when I was supply teaching a couple of years ago, girls were always called names like Lacey, Kacey and Jaycey in the more deprived areas. In the posher areas, girls were often called Ava and Imogen. That's an observation, not a judgement because really you need to make up your own mind as peoples taste in names varies hugely.

HollyDee · 26/07/2011 23:00

Ruby and Ava are by far the nicest.

BibiBelle · 26/07/2011 22:56

Cora
Cara
Clara
Seren

proudfoot · 26/07/2011 22:55

Ava would definitely be my choice.

seeker · 26/07/2011 22:54

And do remember she will be a grown up for much,much longer than she.ll be a baby or a litle girl, so choose her name with that in mind.

BibiBelle · 26/07/2011 22:53

I can assure you I am neither a young mum OR come from a council estate fishandlilacs but thanks for the stereo type there

lchodge · 26/07/2011 22:53

Poppy and Tess sound like pet names to me. Also not keen on Evie or Sylvie sound a bit 'cutesy' for me if that makes sense?

Really like Keeley was on the shortlist the first time round but the page 3 girl put my partner off lol!!

Neither of us really have strong favourites but from the list I posted I like Lacey andLexi and my partner likes Ruby, Ava and Kacey.

Think Ruby and Ava must be more popular down south.
