Names for blondies

This may sound a bit silly but I would love some opinions on my list of girls names as to whether they would suit a blonde haired or dark haired baby. I have a little girl already who was going to be called jasmine but when she was born with fluffy blonde hair it just didn't suit and we changed her name to paige.
So I like the names Lily, Megan, Katie, Sarah, Harriet and Elizabeth. Please can you say which would suit a blonde girl.
Also any ideas for boys?

Thank you peeps x

You!re right about ds and I !

That's funny ali as I imagine lily, Elizabeth and megan to be blonde names.

I don't think it really matters does it? Children grow into their names. My DD1 had jet back hair for the first 6 months of her life and is now a very blonde 5 yr old.

I love all your girl names listed by the way. Re blonde boys names I know a blonde Harry, Jake, Max, Ethan, George, Oliver, Thomas and Samual.

Lily always seems a blonde name to me, Megan is a red head, Harriet and Katie are dull brown, Sarah and Elizabeth could be any colour.

Anna always makes me think of Nordic names, so she would be blonde too,a long with astrid, Heidi, etc.

I think Sarah is the 'blondest' of the names on your list, btw, but that is probably just based on the people I know - my friends called Sarah have mostly had blonde or light brown hair.

I always think of Alice as a blonde name, probably because of Alice in Wonderland...

I was born with a shock of dark brown hair but by a year I was blonde - and still am, albeit with a little help. I know quite a few people whose hair changed colour as a baby or toddler...

Anna for a blondie :)

I imagine Megan, Lily and Elizabeth with dark hair. I've never met a blonde one although I am sure they must exist!

I always imagine Samuel's to be blonde.

That's all I have for boys.
