Just that really.... How would you rank these names?

Perhaps Lainey as a middle name to honour grandmother rather than as a first name?

QuietWhenReading · 29/01/2016 17:04

Ah, that makes a difference then (I admit that I am biased against the name by a dreadful Lainey at school)

How about Nina Laine? That sounds quite nice.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 29/01/2016 17:01

Nina Lainey surname then :)

Margot
Nina

Lainey

I don't think Lainey is awful at all but the over names are much nicer. I think Margot may be a bit more unusual too :)

I personally love Matila but DH doesn't.

My second favourite is Nina.

DH really wants Lainey to honour his grandmother. It does not fit with the names of our other children but I can see why he wants it.

Nina is fab!!
Lainey (I know a lovely Elaine who prefers to be called Lainey)
Evelyn

Margot is not nice at all.

I love margot and lainey! I personally think go for names you like not other people. You're the one who will be saying it forever Smile

Lainey, is my husband's grandmother's name and she recently passed away. It's not my favourite name but she was a fabulous woman.

Is Lainey an actual name? It sounds like a nickname for Elaine.

Lainey
Evelyn
Nina

OP Lainey is most un-Mumsnet, so prepare for horrified reactions to it. I quite like it though!

QuietWhenReading · 29/01/2016 15:36

The other names are lovely, but I really don't like Lainey at all.

Nina is my favourite, and Margot and Evelyn are ok. Not so keen on Lainey, it sounds like it would be better as a nickname.
