  1. Chloe - sensible name
  2. Molly - sensible name
  3. Tabitha
  4. Willow
  5. Lola

I much prefer Willa to Willow; if that had been your choice, I'd have placed it higher in my list.

Willow - lovely!
Lola - sorry bit it always strikes me as a stripper name Blush
Tabitha - cats name
Molly - to me it's a dogs name. I had a dig called Molly when I was younger. And my friend has just got a puppy named Molly.
I forget what the rest of the list was sorry!

My husband's first reaction to Molly (when my DS was thinking of baby names) was Big-Fat-Molly Blush I don't know where he got it from, but none of us could get it our of our heads once it had been said so that name was abandoned. I have to say I was glad as I really don't like it - sounds silly and overly cutsie to me.

Willow sounds like the daughter of a terribly posh couple who wanted to be a bit hippy in the 70s.

Tabitha is ok and at east it has a bit of gravitas.

Lola makes me think of Charlie and...

Chloe is pretty but a bit overused. Maybe think of something similar...Zoe, Cleo, Clara?

Dsis not DS!

mammaaintraisinnofool · 06/03/2012 19:15

Chloe Lola or Molly are all lovely.
Willow - bit hippy dippy
Tabitha - def a cats name sorry

jaffacakehips · 06/03/2012 19:19

I'm really sorry but I don't really like any of them, but if your going to make me...Wink

Molly.

Good Luck

Spookey80 · 06/03/2012 19:34

Molly gorgeous.... I could be biased though!
Also quite like tabitha, agree with the willow thing, not my cup of tea.
Chloe seems a bit dated, Lola... I just think showgirl.
But def could be worse choices..

Hulababy · 06/03/2012 19:36

My DD is called Mollie so I am rather biased :)

BorderDancer · 06/03/2012 19:37

Aw I like Molly! Willow is becoming a bit de rigeur round where I live. Pink called her daughter it so will become v fashionable no doubt. Tabitha sounds like she needs to come with a trust fund. Lola reminds me of Charlie's irritating sister. Don't like Chloe.

So Molly from this corner!

Chloe

useyourloaf · 06/03/2012 20:08

Molly - Like it - cute but serious enough
Chloe - OK quite pretty
Lola - not sure
Willow - NO - heard this SOOOOO much in last few weeks/months
Tabitha - NO - Tabby is not a good shortned name IMO.

LittleSF · 08/03/2012 11:51

Agree with squoosh: Tabitha is a lovely name and I think the nicest on your list by a long way.

Minty82 · 08/03/2012 12:25

I've always loved Tabitha, and don't think the Tabby shortening is inevitable - I know a six-year-old Tabitha and she's always called by her full name, or Tabs.
Quite like Molly; not keen on any of the others I'm afraid.

MaybeItsBecause · 08/03/2012 12:53

Love Chloe.
Tabitha and Lola are OK.
Molly - not fussed, prefer Poly.
Willow is awful.

MaybeItsBecause · 08/03/2012 12:53

POLLY!

MrsJangles · 08/03/2012 21:36

We had a cat named Tabitha so can't get past that one. Love Molly - almost chose this for my DD. Agree with Maybe that Willow is awful. Chloe is overused, but I actually love the name Lola. I don't think it sounds like a stripper name at all.

FilterCoffee · 08/03/2012 21:54

Dislike "Tabs" as a nickname. Tabs is a slang word for ears.

culturevulture · 08/03/2012 21:58

From your list I love Willow and Tabitha is OK

Not keen on any of the others
