I have a 7 year old called Polly, it isn't too popular so it shouldn't date. I think it's a bloody fab name!

Matilda is my fav (although rather popular right now). Then Polly / Poppy (both great). Then Daisy (too twee for me). Annie last in afraid, I think Anna and Annie are just kind of boring and have been way over-used over the years.

MamaLazarou · 20/09/2015 16:04

I don't like any of them. Too cutesy. Annie is the least bad, but Anne would be better.

Narp · 20/09/2015 11:57

Annie, or better: Anna

Paddletonio · 20/09/2015 00:31

Annie or daisy

My DD (5) has a friend callled Poppy. Due to an unfortunate spelling error made when she was learning to write, she is universally known as 'Poopy'.

My DD is a Poppy and she never had this problem when learning to spell her name. She would count the amount of Ps.

I love Matilda and I think Polly is lovely and a refreshing alternative to Poppy...which is very popular now.

I have a Matilda, shorterned to Tilda a lot. We never meet any other Matilda's round our way (South Wales) and people always comment on what a lovely name it is. She is 7 though and I think it's become more popular in the last couple of years

Wearyheadedlady · 16/09/2015 18:26

Poppy, Polly and Annie. The others not so much (over used)

Linguaphile · 16/09/2015 15:26

I agree with posters who have flagged up the name suitability issue in the long term. Most of your choices are very cutesie, IMO. A baby Anne would be very refreshing, though--you can still shorten to Annie for her younger years and then she can use her full name when she's older.

Matilda or polly

mathanxiety · 14/09/2015 01:41

Love Polly, Matilda and Annie.

Don't like Daisy or Poppy.

featherandblack · 13/09/2015 23:05

poppy

shoelovingfinn · 13/09/2015 22:35

All are baby/little girl names and don't suit an adult woman. Anne gets my vote, go for it without the i.

Comingroundthemountain · 13/09/2015 22:24

Annie is number one on my list at moment.

Also like Daisy.

Know too many dogs called Poppy which is annoying as is lovely name. Was v cross when friend named her puppy this as took it off my list!

Polly is lovely.

Am not a fan of Matilda.

Snossidge · 13/09/2015 22:23

I like Polly and Annie.

Every little girl I meet is called Matilda these days!

Ham69 · 13/09/2015 22:17

Polly followed by Annie

ashesandfire · 13/09/2015 22:05

Matilda

But I would choose Anna over Matilda

pilates · 13/09/2015 14:17

Matilda

SmugairleRoin · 13/09/2015 13:42

Matilda. The others are too cutesy for me.

Anne on its own is lovely though!

susurration · 13/09/2015 13:40

Matilda, shortened to Mattie.

twinjocks · 10/09/2015 23:29

Daisy

DramaAlpaca · 10/09/2015 22:33

Matilda is my favourite.

I like Annie as a nickname for Anna or Anne.

The others are too cutesy for me.

NotMeNotYouNotAnyone · 10/09/2015 19:51

Matilda or Poppy

squoosh · 09/09/2015 13:22

Matilda is nice as long as it isn't shortened to Tilly. For some reason Tilly really irritates me.

ifgrandmahadawilly · 09/09/2015 13:16

Ooops, Matilda. I spelled it wrongly.
