I like the name Isla! :)

Murine · 29/04/2017 20:58

Verity, it's a lovely name and not often used

llangennith · 29/04/2017 20:40

Megan is ok but isn't that unusual. I know several of primary school age. Verity is nice, and Isla.

BikeRunSki · 29/04/2017 20:36

Verity by miles

Chathamhouserules · 29/04/2017 20:31

Verity! It's lovely and less commonly used. Great for any age and classy! Sounds like a high achiever (not that that is really important!) but nice person at the same time.

Littlefoxy · 29/04/2017 20:29

I love Isla as a name. It was my top choice. We didn't pick it as we wanted something unusual and it's very popular. So maybe depends it that's an issue for you. I also like Chloe

Littlepond · 29/04/2017 20:26

Oh please choose Verity! What an amazing name!! Love it.

Claramarion · 29/04/2017 20:25

Chloe is coon Isla or Megan

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 29/04/2017 20:16

Verity.

Megan is my least favourite

FeedTheSharkAndItWillBite · 29/04/2017 20:13

Isla: The only one I personally really don't like, tbh. Sorry!
Megan: Love it!
Aoife ( Irish name prounounced EE-fa): very nice
Chloe: very nice
Verity: also very nice. But it is a somewhat "weighty" name for a child in my opinion.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/04/2017 20:07

Isla.

Nonameyet1 · 29/04/2017 19:04

Aoife is lovely.

Rockaby · 29/04/2017 15:08

Verity Smile

user1471456357 · 29/04/2017 14:52

Verity for sure, the rest although nice names are so over used, well maybe Aoife isn't but the need to spell it out to people, depending where you live of course, could become tiresome.

userofthiswebsite · 29/04/2017 14:50

Isla, Megan or Chloe
Good choices...

floraeasy · 29/04/2017 14:48

My favourites are Verity and Chloe.

sashenka · 29/04/2017 14:45

Verity by far... one of my absolute favourites! I'd be so jealous of someone with this name, I just think it's gorgeous Smile

Sophronia · 29/04/2017 14:39

Aoife or Verity

Verity very pretty and uncommon

Sorry but I can't stand he name "Isla" might have something to do with the 10 people I have one Facebook all all have a "Isla" who is a spirited child Hmm

Violetcharlotte · 29/04/2017 13:54

I love Isla and Chloe.

Not keen on Verity.

Kazzawazza69 · 29/04/2017 13:49

Megan or Verity x

Loyly · 29/04/2017 13:41

Aoife

rumblingDMexploitingbstds · 29/04/2017 13:37

Isla - gorgeous. Aoife for second choice.
