Elizabeth is my mums middle name. I love both of these names but struggling to choose.

Meadow

Lily is really very widely used already. Meadow is actually very nice and I don't know any little girls called this.

Love Lily but it's become trendy. Meadow? Er no, same for belle.

NurseBernard · 07/06/2012 01:01

Lily is very, very popular and will date.

Meadow is, um, not to my taste. Grin

I am not much help, am I?!

Sorry, but Meadow somehow makes me think of a euphemism for female pubic hair Grin.

Quite like Lily, but it's pretty heavily used at the moment. Not keen on Belle.

Meadow is, er... brave.
Neah, honestly, I kind of like it. But folk will assume you're a raving lentil-weaving dope-smoking hippy before they even set eyes on you.

Lily Belle I really don't like, sorry. Sounds like a cow. Lily is fine.

Lily is v pretty but v popular. Same for Bella variations.

Meadow is the name if the daughter in the Sopranos. Haven't heard it otherwise. Sounds OK, I'd say in ghd Williw/Rowan/Blackberry/Nature names category.

Meadow Elizabeth is just gorgeous. In fact, I'm going to steal it for fictional never-going-to-happen dc3 Grin
