Hi, I'm due a baby girl any day now but really struggling with names. I have a daughter called Lucy and want a traditional name that goes well with this. I would like opinions on the names - Sophie and Amy.
Sophie - too popular?
Amy - too plain?
New name suggestions welcome too please.

Thank you.

I love Amy.

Yika · 10/01/2017 20:34

Amy is not a plain name to my ears. It is simple and pretty, and suits all kinds of girls and women. It also has a lovely meaning. Amy Ann is a fine, classic name.

Just some suggestions that would go with Lucy...

Eliza
Elise
Eleanor
Georgia
Grace/Gracie
Ruby

Roseandbee · 09/01/2017 23:46

what about Emmie although it might be annoying if people think your saying Amy anyway

TheTartOfAsgard · 09/01/2017 14:36

If Ann is the middle name don't use Alice - Alice Ann is like Alison

TheTartOfAsgard · 09/01/2017 14:35

I'm a Lucy and my sister is called Josephine.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/01/2017 14:12

Lucy Louise and Alice Ann
Lucy Louise and Amelia Ann
Lucy Louise and Astrid Ann

Wow thank you very much everyone 😃 Nuttyknitter 😂 haha! From reading the posts I seem to prefer 2 syllable names and have a much bigger list to show my husband 😃

We are using Ann as the middle name and we have a 1 syllable surname. Does that make Amy plain now? The alliteration of A does not bother me because Lucy's middle name is Louise.

Eve or Ellen

MargotsDevil · 09/01/2017 00:09

Babyspider maybe a local thing but it was definitely over popular here; DSis was one of 4 in a class of 20 Confused__

1horatio · 09/01/2017 00:06

Amy has negative connotations in my personal opinion, sorry. I prefer Alice.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/01/2017 23:49

I wouldn't say Amy was plain. Its quite unusual now. I don't think its ever been over popular.

nuttyknitter · 08/01/2017 23:06

I've always loved the name Alice but can't get past the association with the remastered Smokie track 'Who the Fuck is Alice'.

Yika · 08/01/2017 22:58

Sophie and Amy are both lovely names. What about Sarah, Sara, Nina, Catherine?

Or Miranda, Elise, Natalia, Eve, Isabel?

AlwaysTeaTime · 08/01/2017 22:49

Alice and Lucy is beautiful!

BellMcEnd · 08/01/2017 22:35

(I also think Alice sounds great with Lucy Smile)

AbernathysFringe · 08/01/2017 22:35

Lucy and Esme
Lucy and Ellen
Lucy and Cara
Lucy and Jessica

BellMcEnd · 08/01/2017 22:34

Penelope
Caroline
Sally
Leah
Sylvia.

I love the name Lucy - was on my list but I had boys!

dotdotdotmustdash · 08/01/2017 22:32

Hannah, Sara or Leah would be my picks.
