Hi,
We are looking for a girls name, she will be a sister to Isabel and Dylan. These are the four names we can agree on, Maisie, Lily, Freya or Phoebe. but I'm still not sure. Any opinions welcome. Thanks.

Phoebe

Phoebe for me!

ashesandfire · 20/10/2015 06:55

Freya is my favourite followed by Lily.
Not a fan of Maisie which I think sounds like a cutesy nickname or Phoebe which just sounds like noises stuck together!

DramaAlpaca · 20/10/2015 00:02

Freya or Phoebe go best with your other names.

Lily is nice, but I don't think it fits as well with your other names.

I don't like Maisie personally, it's a bit cutesy for me.

You'll know the right name when you meet her!

KoalaDownUnder · 20/10/2015 00:01

Phoebe.

Really not keen on Freya, and think it will date badly. Maisie is too cutesy. Lily is lovely but a bit overused.

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 19/10/2015 23:56

In order of preference:

Freya
Lily
Maisie
Phoebe

I'm really not a fan of Phoebe, can't explain why.

Freya and lily are both beautiful and classic.

Maisie is nice but bordering on 'cutesy' for me.

Freya

Lily is my favourite by a country mile. Yes it's popular at the moment but unlike other flower/popular names I can imagine a woman in her 30s, 50s and 80s being called Lily. Maisie sounds fine for a little girl and teenager but not so good for a professional woman in her 20s or 30s. Not keen on Phoebe at all, sounds very wishy washy. Freya is fine but they seem to be springing up all over the place at the moment. I think it will sound dated in 10 years time.

Freya

applecatchers36 · 19/10/2015 21:12

Like Freya and Pheobe best

Lily nice but everywhere at the mo

Not a fan of Maisie

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 19/10/2015 20:54

Order of preference

Freya
Maisie
Lily
Phoebe

Have you thought if Flora or Kitty

Ham69 · 19/10/2015 20:52

Order of preference;
Phoebe
Maisie
Lily
Freya

RiverTam · 19/10/2015 20:28

Maisie, though tbh I don't really like any of them. Plus it's the only one where I don't know of one (apart from whatsherchops from Game of Thrones).

Sobbingmess · 19/10/2015 20:24

Phoebe, but then I have a Phoebe Grin.

Montsti · 19/10/2015 20:22

Not keen on Freya nor Phoebe. Lily is my favourite of your names but I prefer Poppy or even Daisy if you're going for flower names...

MrsCaecilius · 19/10/2015 14:59

LOVE Phoebe. Too many of all the others in my neck of the woods.

Lunastarfish · 19/10/2015 14:29

Phoebe

SweetSorrow · 19/10/2015 14:05

Totally outing myself but I have a Lily and a Phoebe (and an Isabelle). So I'd go for those.

Oly5 · 19/10/2015 14:04

Freya then Phoebe

welshHairs · 19/10/2015 14:03

I know of several Freya's and Lilys IRL but no Maisies. Hmm I'm not sure, Lily is my favourite of the bunch. I like Maisie but it feels like it should be short for something, if you know what I mean.

CrumpetHead · 19/10/2015 13:57

They're all nice but there's too many Maisie's now, there are millions of Maisie's lately. I like Lily the most then Freya
