Can't choose dd2 name...thoughts?

Although I change my mind every five minutes, first world problems of course,
I keep coming back to 2 names for #2. Dd1 is Gracie Joy. Second babe will have a nod to my sis with middle name.
But please offer opinions for a first;
Ivy Angeline or
Lola Angeline.

I know there will be derogatory responses to Lola due to the Kinks song. But that's not of concern to us, we still like the name.
Just interested on preferences between the 2. :) thanks!

I prefer Lola and it goes better with Gracie too.

Gracie and Ivy both have similar sounding endings which won't matter in the long run as they wont be going round as a twosome for their whole lives, but it sounds a bit twee when they are little and you refer to them together quite a lot.

Ivy is also a bit too Coronation street for my taste.

Definitely Ivy. I don't think Lola Angeline flows well at all, it's awkward to say with the a-a.

I love Ivy Angeline. Really lovely combination :)

I would go with Ivy, I like Lola but prefer Ivy and think it goes better with your dd1 name.

Thank you! I agree Ivy Angeline flows better. I've just always had a soft spot for Lola

@alpacayourthings, you must be fortunate enough to be younger than me!! Hehe

I absolutely love Ivy. It was our first choice for number 2 but he turned out to be a boy!

Agree with Gugglebum. Ivy Angeline has a great ring to it.

Gugglebum · 18/04/2014 03:24

I like Ivy and Lola about the same, but I think Ivy Angeline sounds better together.

PenguinBear · 18/04/2014 03:03

Lola :)

I haven't heard the Kinks song, so can't comment from that perspective.

I love Ivy. My DH won't consider it though [grumpy]
