Which do you prefer? I can't decide!

Thanks.

Bridget is great - does it 'match' your DD1's name?

BasicBetty · 25/04/2017 16:23

Flora

robinia · 25/04/2017 16:17

I love Bridget.
Flora is margarine.
Lucinda is a bit posh for me!

loverofbadtv · 25/04/2017 16:16

Lucinda. Beautiful, strong name, not too frilly at all!

CakeRattleandRoll · 25/04/2017 05:58

Really like Bridget.

SuperBeagle · 24/04/2017 23:51

I like Lucinda best and Bridget least.

I think Lucinda is the most diverse of the three. She could be Lucinda, Lucy, Lulu Cindy etc.

SerenaVDW · 24/04/2017 23:21

Love Flora. I like Lucinda but I prefer Lucia not helpful

I don't like Bridget.

1horatio · 24/04/2017 21:17

I love Flora. Strong, feminine, great meaning...

Lucinda is very nice.

I really don't like Bridget.

Abetes · 24/04/2017 21:15

Flora

Muddlingalongalone · 24/04/2017 21:10

Lucinda - love it
Bridget is fab too.
Not so keen on flora

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 24/04/2017 21:07

Lucinda, by miles.

(Lucia's also pretty).

DramaAlpaca · 24/04/2017 20:55

Bridget or Flora.

I'm not keen on Lucinda, but I like Lucy.

AdaColeman · 24/04/2017 20:54

Lucinda and Flora, both are lovely.

Not keen on Bridget though.

Kazzawazza69 · 24/04/2017 20:44

❤ Flora

Angryangryyoungwoman · 24/04/2017 20:37

Lucinda

PunkAssMoFo · 24/04/2017 20:05

Lucinda, by miles.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/04/2017 20:05

Lucinda.

GirlcalledJames · 24/04/2017 20:02

Florr

Babyk12 · 24/04/2017 19:44

Lucinda. Flora reminds me of the margarine if I'm being honest. Bridget is a nice name. Def one to grow into I think

Sophronia · 24/04/2017 19:41

Flora, but all 3 are nice!

Jooni · 24/04/2017 19:41

I think Bridget is fab! The others are very "pretty" choices, whereas Bridget feels feisty and very chic to me.

I actually really like Flora but wouldn't use it with another floral name unless I was trying to create a theme. Lucinda is a bit too frilly for me but I do like Lucille and feel it has a similar vibe to Bridget - might you like that? Or Beatrice?

zen1 · 24/04/2017 19:38

I quite like them all, though I would use Bridie as a shortening for Bridget. Flora sounds very sweet and Lucinda / Lucie is also nice not very helpful

I have name regret over our choice for DD1 so I am nervous of getting it wrong this time.

I have liked Lucinda since I was a teenager and dreaming up future children's names so it is a safe choice and one I don't think I will ever go off.

On the other hand I often wish I had called DD1 Bridget. It is more of a name I have liked in the last few years but I think I like it most currently.

Flora is a name I also think is lovely and DH likes most but I think for me it might be a passing fad that I will go off. DD has a flower name and I don't love the flower theme either.

Lucinda. I do love how Flora sounds but I just think of margarine.
