Eve is my favourite by far, although Eva is nicer again. Funnily I know only one child Eva and no Eve's (apart from one who's about 35). I know quite a lot of Holly's and a few Freya's as well. Freya is my least favourite, it will date very quickly. I've never come across anyone over 5 called Freya.

Freya

My DS3 would have been a Freya.

Holly and Eve are nice too though. There are a lot of Eva's and Ava's around so an Eve would maybe get lost amongst them all.

So holly seems the fave so far.

Middle name is Marie for family reasons.

Of those three, Freya is my favourite but I also don't mind Holly.

I would pick Lucy over Holly (for some reason they are linked in my head).

Not a fan of Eve.

Holly!

Holly Evangeline?

They're all quite popular, I know lots of Hollys but they are all lovely too. If I had to choose I'd choose Eve ( but would prefer Eva or Ava )

Freya, but cos I like Frey, people will shorten names. My dd1 has hers shortened to a perfectly acceptable name by her friends but I personally hate it.

peachypips · 07/04/2016 21:27

Holly. Other two (particularly Eve) are very popular.
Holly Evelyn?

Holly

MrsBungle · 07/04/2016 21:24

Holly.

BikeRunSki · 07/04/2016 21:22

All very popular, especially Eve. I like Freya best.

Holly is a lovely name and underused. Eve is a great name too but very popular along with Ava, Evie and Eva. Sorry but I don't like Freya.
