Marnie Alice
Jemima Kate
Lara Ottilie
Alice Jemima

All of the above work with our surname, we just can't decide which of the 4 names to go for. Would SO appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks in advance.

Marnie by far from the others.

Marnie Alice

HuftysTrain · 15/08/2015 21:47

Alice or Jemima are my favorites.

MyBootsAreMuddy · 15/08/2015 08:48

Agree with others on here and think Lara Kate sounds beautiful.

FunkyPeacock · 14/08/2015 14:30

I like Jemima Kate best from the combinations you listed

Alice is my favourite first name of those listed but don't think it flows with Jemima

NannyFlower · 14/08/2015 14:27

Jemima Kate

morepleasegromit · 14/08/2015 14:27

Meant to type Jemima Kate!!

morepleasegromit · 14/08/2015 14:27

Jemma Kate

ashesandfire · 14/08/2015 13:19

Alice Jemima or Alice Kate
Marnie is horrid

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 14/08/2015 07:25

Marnie Alice. I know two Marnies, one adult, one child, and both are lovely, so this may have influenced me!

CeriBerry · 14/08/2015 01:58

My best friend's little girl is a Marnie Alice :) gorgeous name x

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 14/08/2015 00:10

Marnie Alice.

But imani Alice is even sweeter.
Imani is more grown up, with marnie as a nn.

CarlaJones · 13/08/2015 23:58

Marnie Alice or Alice Marnie

TremoloGreen · 13/08/2015 23:45

Alice Jemima

SmugairleRoin · 13/08/2015 23:35

I have a real dislike for the names Ottilie and Jemima. Ottilie because it sounds like a combination of oddly and utterly. Utterly oddly...no thank you.

Jemima is better but not by much.

So...by process of elimination I'd have to say Marnie Alice Grin .

In everyday life no one really uses middle names though, do they? So I'd concentrate more on choosing the perfect first name and then let the middle name just slot into place iyswim.

If you just look at the first names, Lara definitely my favourite of these.

SerenavanderWoodsen · 13/08/2015 22:07

Lara is by far my favourite first name listed. But I really don't like Ottilie at all. Even if I did, I don't think it flows well with Lara as it ends up sounding like one word (too many vowels together). Of your choices, I would go with Jemima Kate. But personally think Lara Kate would be the best combo.

Dreya · 13/08/2015 21:22

Forgot to add the combinations I like best.
Marnie Kate
Jemima Kate

Dreya · 13/08/2015 21:20

What a great list Op! Love Jemima, Ottilie and Marnie. Gorgeous names. The only one I am not so keen on is Alice. It sounds quite pleasant but written down I just see 'lice' But that's just me being odd I expect! Fab names Smile

LondonRocks · 13/08/2015 20:49

Jemima Kate

susurration · 13/08/2015 20:32

Alice and Jemima are my favourites.

applecatchers36 · 13/08/2015 20:08

Like Alice and Kate from your list.

Kim82 · 13/08/2015 20:02

I like Lara but not with the middle name listed. I'd go for Lara Kate.

BlackBetty · 13/08/2015 19:58

Great taste I actually LOVE them all!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/08/2015 19:54

Fantastic list

I love love love Marnie and Lara

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 13/08/2015 19:49

How is Ottilie pronounced? I've never heard it before.
