Hi, me and my partner both have names we're pretty sure of problem is neither of us agree on the others choices!!! So any opinions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!! We already have a daughter, Lola and are expecting another girl.....

Lacey
Lexi
Ruby
Ava
Kacey

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

I definitely agree Moanna, region does seem to play a massive part in popularity.

I love Ava, ruby is my next favourite. I do think it depends on where you live as to the more popular names.

I'm in Glasgow. I know 1 Ruby who is 79yo! Always dismissed it as old fashioned. Same with Ava. There just isn't enough names! Think its back to the drawing board so far.....
Still like Lacey though my partner really doesnt :(

You don't know anybody with a child under 12 called Ruby? REALLY? Where do you live?

I suggest not another L name (I don't like themes, generally). And Ava maybe also too similar to Lola, too (in a 2 child family).

I know at least one child under 10 with each of those names, except Lacey. Spelling on Kacey/Casey varies widely; KC probably my fave from your list.

Thanks!!
I really dont like Alexandra and don't want a name with a nn.
I dont know anyone using Ava or Ruby but people always say their very popular?!
Not many girls names I like even the ones on my list I think are just so-so. Lol poor baby!!!

Ruby, then Ava.

EdithWeston · 26/07/2011 14:06

I would go for Alexandra, with Lexie as a nn.

Ruby and Ava are OK, but I don't like the others (sorry).

I like Ruby or Ava best (although both becoming quite popular now), followed by Lexi

MrsCarriePooter · 26/07/2011 14:00

I prefer Lexie with an e on the end if you do go for that though. I recently read The Hand That First Held Mine (by Maggie O'Farrell) and the lead character is called Lexie, short for Alexandra.

Cattleprod · 26/07/2011 13:59

I'd avoid another 'L' name.

Ruby is the nicest, although quite popular.

TimeWasting · 26/07/2011 13:59

Ruby or Ava. Don't like others at all sorry.

MrsCarriePooter · 26/07/2011 13:58

Ruby or Ava.

thelittlefriend · 26/07/2011 13:57

I like Lexi and Ruby best.
