Thanks all.
Will have to recount
I love Sophia and my other two have popular names (one was around 50 when I chose it but shot up to top ten in a couple years), so I'm not sure if deliberately avoid a popular name again.
It's been on my list for the last 7 years but I've not had the chance to use!

My DC are lobbying for Lara, so that will likely be the middle name I think.

I really like Anya and Iona too...Iona Lara sounds like 'I own a Lada' though.

Re Annabelle I love how this looks written too, and if she called herself Belle I think that looks nicer than Bel. So I'd prob go against Mumsnet and stick to the frilly spelling!

Tied between Lara and Anya

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 27/11/2016 01:58

The only one I like is Lara.

The world does not need another Sophia. If you threw a stick you'd hit a Sophia. They are everywhere!

I love ranking names!
*
Favourite three are:*

Sophia - popular but that's because it's gorgeous
Iona - another ultra pretty name & one to suit her as she grows into a woman
Arianna - may be a few more about with the growing popularity of Arianna Grande. Who cares! The name is delightful

Close in the running are:

Lara
Anya
Rosalie

* Do not like:*

Annabelle

* Really really do not like:*

Pearl

Lara

Sophia (but I know loads of them, so wildly popular)

Moresaltedcaramel · 27/11/2016 00:20

Sophia and Anya are prettiest.
Not keen on any of the others and especially not Pearl which is frumpy and definitely not 'classy' as someone stated previously.

Sophia and Lara are on our list of potential names for dc2, I think they are beautiful

JunebabyT · 26/11/2016 16:30

Lara definitely the nicest. Gorgeous name.

Second I'd pick Sophia then probably Rosalie.
