Sarah?

We're currently considering Sarah...what do you think? Boring or a timeless classic? Other names on the shortlist are Lucy & Hailey. This baby naming malarky is driving me insane!

Sarah is a timeless classic-I love it. I also like Lucy.

I love Sarah, speaking as one (born in the 80's). I love my name!! It is a timeless classic and means princess who doesn't love that!!

I like Sarah. Lucy I'm not that keen on Hailey/Hayley is alright don't think I like the 'hay' bit

I have a sister called Sarah and she's one of about a million born in the 1970s. Lucy is another name from that era that was wildly popular. I went to an all-girls school and I can't tell you how many Sarahs and Lucys there were - a lot! Now though, I know one little Lucy and no little Sarahs. I think they're both classic names and FWIW I've got two boys with very classic, but currently un-trendy names, so they'd get my nod. I'm not so keen on Hailey and you might have spelling confusion (Hayley), with that one. But if you're looking for something that's currently unusual, but that people will know how to pronounce, it will fit the bill.

Sarah and Lucy are both lovely names, classic and not "boring"!

I like Hayley with a y.

Like Sarah and Lucy, very different to the current trends of Ellie, Maisy etc. They are classic just a different kind of classic. The Current "classic" names are getting boring through sheer over use
not sure about Hailey, think I'ld probably warm to it
