My DD is Lydia.

Frequently gets called Olivia, which makes me Hmm Not sure if it's our accent (from N. Ireland) or if it's just because Olivia is much more popular.

I bet Queen ie wasn't happy with Savvanah. Haha!!

The Queen's first great grand child is called Savannah.Wonder if she suggested Lydia instead. I think I would've.

willyoulistentome · 12/01/2014 20:25

Lydia is nicest.
Fleur =bleug
Savvanah is a bit chav

CPtart · 12/01/2014 20:23

Lydia at a push

Jinty16 · 12/01/2014 19:36

Lydia

Grumblelion · 12/01/2014 09:27

Lydia, then Fleur.

Really not keen on Savannah sorry.

Britishseamonkey · 12/01/2014 09:25

Lydia is lovely but at some if not many points she hear clamydia jokes although I love the nn liddy

Fleur is gorgeous when pronounced properly but so often isn't - depends if that bothers you
Savannah - nice enough but not my cup of tea?
Are you leaning any particular way?

sarararararah · 10/01/2014 21:38

My dd is Lydia and is not prim and proper at all! She's cheeky and sparky and funny. So obviously that's the perfect choice!! No one's called her chlamydia yet - but she is only 5...

clara26 · 10/01/2014 21:33

Fleur is beautiful, my mum almost named me it. However I have Yorkshire accent and if you say Fleur it sounds like someone very I'll! If you have a nice accent go for it.

I do love savannah though

sydenhamhiller · 10/01/2014 21:26

Fleur.
When I was 10 ish, we lived abroad on a company compound. A Dutch family had 3 girls, and the littlest was called Fleur. It just struck me as the most beautiful name, and I have loved it ever since.

I have 2 daughters, and DH used his joker card to block that name both times!

TheRaniOfYawn · 09/01/2014 21:30

Fleur.

Blwyddynnewydddda · 09/01/2014 19:57

Oh gosh not savannah!

Fleur is beautiful

Lydia is classy.

SparklingMuppet · 09/01/2014 18:41

Don't like Lydia, sounds far too close to chlamydia for my liking. Savannah is a bit too trailer park for me. Fleur is in a different league to both, classic and strong. But I too dislike the way most English people pronounce it, so sadly I wouldn't go for that either.

bakingtins · 09/01/2014 16:11

Lydia

Onesleeptillwembley · 09/01/2014 04:24

Fleur is too twee. Savannah, despite a 'royal' using it, still downmarket. Lydia? 20 years ago I would have said 'Yes, lovely, go for it'. My oldest and youngest know girls called Lydia now with the (albeit affectionate) nickname 'chlamidia'. And it's not something I see dying out.

  1. Lydia is lovely - classic name
  1. Savannah is quite nice, but Susannah is better
  1. Fleur Ok but has bit of an odd sound in English, as someone else said.

Whoops *other

southerngirl25599 · 09/01/2014 03:46

Savannah is a great name. Not a big fan of the names, sorry

Leeds2 · 08/01/2014 23:29

Lydia. Then Fleur.

Never Savannah.
