Cannot decide between the following names, i have a mum and a mother in law who do not keep their opinions or suggestions quiet so i need to be firm in my own mind so arent swayed by one of them in my post birth hormonal vulnerable state

Clara ---love it but worries it will get mistaken for cara and also seems popular on here? dont want a faddy name
Megan - too boring? our son has welsh name would go nicely
Jenna - not sure i like Jen but could grow on me also would go with our sons name
Hannah - too boring? or classic?
Lydia - love Lyds as nn but is it too biblical?

They are all lovely names. I don't think I've ever said that on a name thread before.
Remember that the grandparents have had their turn at picking baby names for their own children and should have no say in picking a name for yours.

I like Megan and Jenna

They are all lovely names, my favourites are :

Clara - don't think it would be mistaken for Cara. Beautiful name
Hannah - classic but lovely
Lydia - I don't think Biblical when I hear it, I think Pride and Prejudice! Nice name

The other two are perfectly nice too.

I love the name Megan, and Hannah is pretty too

Lydia is my favourite but what is yours?!

My Mil hates my dds name. It's none of her business or my dms business. Don't mention names before the birth and just present your chosen name when baby is born.
