Am due in less than a month and still no closer to a decision on girls names, boys are sorted thank goodness. DS is Samuel.

Alexis
Abigail
Victoria
Megan

My favourite atm is Victoria and DH is Megan, I am also open to suggestions. Middle names would be Lillian Jayne (or the other way round)

Thank you!

I like Megan, and if you don't want Vicky as a nn I used to know a Victoria who went by Tori (although I suppose that might have other connotations).

I think Alexia sounds nicer than Alexis.

StDogolphin · 16/11/2015 18:10

Alexandra instead of Alexis

Jw35 · 16/11/2015 15:06

Victoria

MrsCaecilius · 16/11/2015 14:26

Victoria is lovely. Really dislike Megan (but that might be due to the Megan's I have met in my life!)

I agree that Alexia is prettier than Alexis too!

I think Victoria is lovely, however wouldn't like it being shortened to Vicky!

My order of preference is actually the order you wrote them in.

So Alexis is my favourite, followed by Abigail. Not massively keen on Victoria but it's nice enough. Knew a girl called Megan who I didn't like, which sort of tarnishes that name in my head. So it goes bottom of the pile. I may have liked it if I hadn't met her though, it's hard to say.x

Love Victoria

Rosaaa · 15/11/2015 14:52

I like them all apart from Abigail.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/11/2015 20:22

Victoria

manicinsomniac · 05/11/2015 16:27

Love both Alexia and Alexis. Also love Abigail.

Like Victoria.

Bit meh about Megan. It's nice enough.

Megan

MaudeTheMopLady · 05/11/2015 09:08

Love Alexia! Victoria very lovely too. Vita is a great nickname.

Thanks for your replies! Seems Megan is in the lead, so it's probably between Megan and Victoria.

I hear what people are saying about Victoria being dated as I knew heaps when I was at secondary school in the 90s.

Abigail was my favourite when I was pregnant with DS but am not liking it as much as I use to.

Ooh Alexia is nice, I might swap that for Alexis!

I love Alexis. It would have been DS1s name had he been a girl.

reuset · 04/11/2015 23:46

Alexis is horrible. I'd opt for Abigail, Megan, then Victoria. In that order

FunkyPeacock · 04/11/2015 23:02

I'm not keen on Alexis but Abigail, Victoria & Megan all great names

IMO Victoria or Abigail goes better with your middle names than Megan

CakeRattleandRoll · 04/11/2015 22:58

Abigail

applecatchers36 · 04/11/2015 22:15

Like Megan not keen on the rest the others are a bit 1970's/early 1980's

Paddletonio · 04/11/2015 22:12

Abigail

Twooter · 04/11/2015 22:07

Megan

ashesandfire · 04/11/2015 22:05

I like Alexis!

clarabellski · 04/11/2015 12:05

Megan

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 04/11/2015 11:13

For me it would be between Megan or Victoria
Certainly not Alexis. It's awful. Very harsh sounding. And not at all girly. Now I fully appreciate that not everyone likes girly names but you still get names that don't cujure up all frills and bows without being harsh at the same time snd Alexis is not one of them, but your baby your choice
Abigail is okay but a bit meh.

Elllicam · 04/11/2015 11:06

I like Victoria and I quite like Alexis but love Alexia.

WishIWasWonderwoman · 04/11/2015 10:56

Victoria and Abigail are my favourites.

Victoria Lillian Jayne sounds great.
