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 do secon Harriet. Or maybe Emma? Or Anne?

SoftSheen · 08/01/2017 22:01

Alice is lovely.

Have you considered Harriet?

Another vote for Alice & Lucy

Classy rather than posh IMO

Thank you everyone. It's so nice to hear opinions from other people. Some of them names were on our shortlist - think I will put them back in 😊 Does Alice sound too posh with Lucy?

Oops, not Mary with Lucy - though it is a classic.

I think Alice too! Lucy and Alice sounds very sweet.

MerryMarigold · 08/01/2017 20:56

Personally I really dislike Amy. I just find it very twee and nasal, not sure why. Also sounds bad with Lucy - too many 'ees' going on.

I like lots of other traditional names (though wouldn't choose myself) like Charlotte, Emma, Juliet, Mary.

I quite like Sophie and don't actually know that many little ones, though lots my age (born in 70s).

Love your suggestions and those of PPs. I don't think Amy is a plain name at all.

Also want to throw Anna and Emma into the mix as options.
Congratulations on your LO!

Sophia is nicer than Sophie, I think.

Amy is nice.

Lucy and...

Emily
Polly
Chloe
Esme

Sophie and Amy are both lovely. Another one which comes to mind which you might like is Clara.

Katkin14 · 08/01/2017 20:53

Sophie and Amy are both lovely. I think Amy's due a comeback. Sophie never really went away.

How about Elizabeth? Classic and lots of lovely nickname options.

What about Alice?
Just throwing it in!
You'll get a better idea what suits when you see her.
