Hi All,

Still trying to decide which names we like best, I'd love some opinions on these.

Surname begins with B and is one syllable.

Autumn B...
Autumn Elizabeth B...
Elizabeth Autumn B...
Scarlett B...
Scarlett Elizabeth B...
Annabelle B...
Annabelle Elizabeth B...
Isla B...
Isla Elizabeth B...
Arya B...
Arya Elizabeth B...
Lyla B...
Lyla Elizabeth B...

Thanks!
James

Scarlett is the name I wish I pushed harder for when pregnant with DD! Love that name. Don't like Elizabeth, love Beth/Betsy. Don't like Isla, love Lyla. Really don't like the name Autumn, the season is quite delightful though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/05/2014 11:22

Elizabeth Scarlett

Bearandcub · 25/05/2014 07:12

Isla Elizabeth

CharityCase · 25/05/2014 07:05

My prediction for GOT is a final showdown between Arya and the blonde one with the dragons. Therefore there will be a rash of both names.

Yama · 24/05/2014 19:21

Okay, I'm going to be no help and say I love them all.

Agree with Pebbles though that Lyra is better than Lyla.

Frikadellen · 24/05/2014 19:14

Autumn or Arya in my opinion but then I never cared for very usual names .

Pebbles0934 · 24/05/2014 09:31

Love Autumn. Was on my list.
Scarlet not so keen on and quite popular now.
Lyla is ok but I prefer Lyra.
Elizabeth is bit boring for me.
I think Arya might be a bit too different but I really like it! Just don't want it to be a big fad name.
Annabelle is nice.
How about Autumn Belle?

Ikeameatballs · 24/05/2014 07:46

I like Autumn and Scarlet and both of these go well with Elizabeth.

Isla and Annabelle are also nice but don't flow well with Elizabeth IMO.

CharityCase · 24/05/2014 07:43

Like Autumn, but if the surname is Brown, maybe not.

Arya ( and all other GOT names), no, just no.

BlueStarsAtNight · 24/05/2014 07:40

I like Autumn, Isla and Arya. I don't like Elizabeth but guess as a middle name it's fine!

WhereHas1999DissappearedToo · 20/05/2014 12:54

Autumn is gorgeous, Annabelle is lovely.

Choccyhobnob · 20/05/2014 11:36

What's wrong with Autumn? Hmm

I think Autumn , Scarlett and Isla flow nicely with Elizabeth (unless your surname is Brown then Autumn Brown/Scarlett Brown don't go!)

Arya Elizabeth and Annabelle Elizabeth are too much of a tongue twister for me

Bowlersarm · 20/05/2014 08:34

I really like Autumn.

I like Elizabeth, but not in it's full form, I like a few of the shortenings.

Annabelle is lovely.

Mynewone · 20/05/2014 08:26

I love Elizabeth Annabel or Annabel Elizabeth not keen on others

melonribena · 20/05/2014 08:21

Lyla is lovely! But I prefer it Lila

PunkAssMoFo · 20/05/2014 08:14

Autumn is lovely.
Annabelle is good too, but may be too many b's

IMO Elizabeth is a little dull & Isla v popular atm

Bonnie152 · 20/05/2014 06:54

I prefer Lyla Elizabeth from the choices. I have a Sophia Elizabeth Smile

Leeds2 · 19/05/2014 21:08

I prefer Elizabeth, or Isla. But without Autumn.

burgatroyd · 19/05/2014 20:25

Autumn Elizabeth

Itisafact · 19/05/2014 20:23

Scarlett Elizabeth is lovely.

alita7 · 19/05/2014 20:22

Please don't call your child Autumn!

Elizabeth is my favourite name, I think Scarlet is quite nice. Lyla and Isla are lovely too.

ThatBloodyWoman · 19/05/2014 19:03

Autumn Elizabeth is beautiful.

calzone · 19/05/2014 19:01

Is the B name a noun?
It is just that if it is Ball or Bee or Batt you might have a problem with

Autumn Ball or

Scarlet Ball.........

Autumn Bee
Scarlet Bee.....Grin

manicinsomniac · 19/05/2014 18:59

Beautiful names. Only one I'm not overly keen on is Scarlett

Isla and Arya are probably my favourites but Annabelle and Autumn are gorgeous too. Don't like Lyla as much but it's nice.

How about Ayla and Lyra?

funnyoldonion · 19/05/2014 18:52

Autumn Elizabeth is just stunning!
