Struggling to decide between these three names and only 4 weeks until due date. Which would you choose?

Charlotte for me. I can't get over Jemima Puddleduck!

Jemima

Also LOVE 💕 Jemima

All nice names:
Charlotte popular and timeless
Jemima much less popular and timeless
Iris popular and very current
All easy to spell and pronounce , all suitable for adults and children!
Tough choice; Jemima for me !

Iris Charlotte

Not Iris, seems to be on trend at the moment, but IMO it's harsh sounding and old-ladyish. Charlotte and Jemima both have a much nicer sound, Jemima being more unusual.

Iris. It's gorgeous.
Second place for Charlotte.
Jemima makes me think of Jemima Puddle-Duck, sorry.

Uhohmummy · 02/02/2018 12:45

LOVE Jemima! Please use it as my DH has vetoed Sad

Iris is trending at the moment I know 3! Thus more likely to date. Jemima is stunning and doesn’t seem so common, I don’t know any. Charlotte is very popular I know many of every age plus the royal effect. Jemima is beautiful and the stand out name.

Thanks for your speedy replies. Charlotte comes last surprisingly although this is my husband's least favourite so it works out well. So it's Iris or Jemima hmmmn...

Love Iris. If I have another girl it'd be on my list of potentials.

JumpingFrogs · 02/02/2018 10:40

All lovely. Iris is very much on the up at the moment so suspect it will date more than the others. I would probably go for Jemima as it's less common than Charlotte without being too weird...

ChocolateCrunch · 02/02/2018 10:25

Jemima

PenguinsandPandas · 02/02/2018 09:58

Iris

StableGenius · 02/02/2018 09:58

Oh, I love them all. Great choices, all would be on my shortlist if I ever had another dd.

I'd have to stick a pin in the list, I think.

Iris is the 'coolest' currently, so perhaps there would be more of them. But then there's the 'royal effect' with Charlotte too.

On that basis, maybe Jemima.

Friolero · 02/02/2018 09:56

Another vote for Iris, it's a beautiful name.

FallenAngel89 · 02/02/2018 09:55

Iris is lovely. My name is Gemma and I don't mind it being shortened to Gem but otherwise don't particularly like my name so I personally wouldn't choose Jemima Smile
