Thoughts, please! All go with the surname and middle names. This is as narrow as we can get it atm.

Charlotte is lovely but Annabel is my favourite. But only spelt like that, really don't like Annabelle.

Alexandra is beautiful and classic (not as trendy as Charlotte or Annabelle).

I don't like the sound of Georgia, it also doesn't translate well into other languages.

Charlotte and Alexandra are my favourites. I don't think Charlotte shot up in popularity the way it was expected too when the Royal baby was named Charlotte. All the little Charlottes I know were born before the royal one! I guess, as she gets older though, and is more in the public eye, it could become more popular.

Georgia but I am biased.
Its Dd2 who is in her twenties nameSmile

I prefer Georgina to Georgia

Charlotte is a beautiful name.
Annabel second choice.
The other two are not for me, sorry.

If it was to be my name I would choose Alexandra.

Easily shortened if I want it to be, and so versatile.
I could have different names in various parts of my life: a family name, a name for young friends, a name for older friends, an arty name if I want to be a designer, author or artist ... Alex, Ally, Lexi, Xandra ...

Charlotte was the 25th most popular girls name in England and Wales, down from 9 in 2005. So not top ten popular and actually on the way down - who knew?! The other names were as follows:

Georgia - 52
Annabelle - 60
Alexandra - 116

I love Charlotte. Not so keen on the others but they're all very classic.

Got to have a nn so that's all good. I probably love Charlotte most but yes, it's the particular popularity that's worrying me.

Alexandra. Less popular than the others, and still a beautiful classic.

GirlcalledJames · 08/05/2017 12:49

I like Annabel best. Charlotte is nice but will be popular owing to the Cambridge's daughter. Alexandra is very prone to nicknames so it might depend whether there is a nn for it that you like.

Annabelle is my favourite. Personally not so keen on the others.
