I do like Lucy Serena. All the names on your list are nice enough but the nn puts me off.

MikeUniformMike · 07/12/2017 10:21

I'd go with Kate Alexandra.
Not keen on any on your list.

starkid · 07/12/2017 09:29

I like Lucy Serena, but not any of the nicknames you've given any of the other names (although I like Isobel without the nickname)

AdaColeman · 06/12/2017 21:45

Lucy Serena is the prettiest and the most unusual, and will suit her both as a little girl and a grown woman.

Florence Madeleine is very clunky and I'm not keen on Florrie.
There are already enough Isobels.
Emilia Charlotte, the combination of two previously very popular names gives it a bit of a dated feel.

Do Lara is now a no go?

I like Lucy but Lara is also equally beautiful!

AlmostChristmas · 06/12/2017 21:25

Libby is not a diminutive to Isobel! Just call her libby if you like it!

I'd go Lucy Serena- have you not a thread with this name suggested before? Wasn't there an alternative?

Pemba · 06/12/2017 21:11

Florence is your worst choice, and Florrie is awful.
Emilia is OK, but not as nice as Amelia or Emily.

Lucy is nice, and Isobel is gorgeous. Not quite sure about the LIbby though. Middle names are all lovely.

SantaStuckInTheChimney · 06/12/2017 20:54

Definitely Florence.

I hate Emilia- very popular and doesn't sound nice.
Amelia is a better spelling IMO.

Lucy is very dull (sorry).

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 06/12/2017 20:53

Isobel, Izzy is lovely

Smoliver · 06/12/2017 20:39

My favourite is Lucy Serena - I think that name is gorgeous and flows really nicely Smile

I also like Isobel Alexandra Kate. I prefer Issy as oppossed to Izzy, but both work well as a nickname.

Coconutspongexo · 06/12/2017 11:51

I feel like Izzy and Issy both look nickname, I prefer Izzy to Issy

daisypond · 06/12/2017 11:48

I like all the names, but I prefer Lucy Serena.

Prefer Emilia to Emily Chocolate! Emily Charlotte would be a nice literary combo though.

Or perhaps Issy? Issy seems less nickname-y than Izzy and softer, more serious and less cheerful somehow.

Might go for Izzy (Isobel) instead actually!

Lucy Serena.

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/12/2017 07:42

Just realised you'd call Isobel Libby. That changes things for me and I'd go with Florence. I really don't like Libby

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/12/2017 07:40

Isobel Alexandra Kate (Libby) - love Isobel. It's my DD's middle name. Alexandra Kate sounds really classy too. Great combo

Lucy Serena - love Lucy but not so keen on Serena

Emilia Charlotte (Mimi) - I always think Emilia looks gorgeous but not so keen on it said out loud

Florence Madeleine (Florrie) - gorgeous name

My choice would be Isobel Alexandra Kate
Followed by Florence Madeleine though I think Florence Lucy would also be gorgeous

userabcname · 06/12/2017 06:08

Lucy Serena

ChocolateCrunch · 06/12/2017 05:57

Emilia Charlotte, but prefer Emily Charlotte

Myreputation · 06/12/2017 05:49

Lucy serena

bayseyan · 06/12/2017 05:48

Lucy Serena. I really don't like Florence.

SpongeBobMegaPants · 06/12/2017 05:45

Florence Emilia Charlotte Kate...initials will spell F.E.C.K.

Movablefeast · 06/12/2017 05:17

Serena Lucy

RaindropsAndSparkles · 06/12/2017 04:52

Why the diminutive?
