I like Holly the best.

Baubletrouble43 · 09/07/2018 12:31

Orla is lovely x

DollyDayScream · 09/07/2018 12:28

I think that Freya is a beautiful name.

FinallyARainbow · 09/07/2018 12:16

Love Orla. I'd have used it if I'd had a girl but spelt Orlaith. Your way seems more popular though and less likely that people would need to be corrected on spelling.

BasicBetty · 09/07/2018 12:04

Orla and Holly.

Marcipex · 09/07/2018 07:03

Orly is sweet, nicer than Orla imo.
I still like Holly, it's popular for a reason.

I don't like Mila much, and I don't know how to pronounce it. Ella is a sweet name but massively over used. Freya is a bit dismal.

RavenWings · 09/07/2018 00:03

Mila - the my-la/mee-la thing would put me off
Orla - lovely
Freya - no
Holly - nice
Sienna - lovely. Depends on the surname though as I imagine it could easily sound like a paint colour
Ella - no, bland and will fade into the hordes of Ellas.

I'd go for Orla, Holly or Sienna.

LucyFox · 08/07/2018 22:46

Like Freya but Mila would constantly be telling people how to pronounce/spell her name

MariaMadita · 08/07/2018 13:35

Mila: lovely!
Orla: also very nice.
Freya: a bit boring but nice.
Holly: cute for a Christmas baby.
Sienna: nice.
Ella: incredibly boring and a bit wet.

Orla is very pretty, Mila sounds medical to me for some reason I can't quite work out and I find Freya a bit of a weak name. Holly is also nice.

hungryhippie · 07/07/2018 00:16

I prefer Orla

buttercup54321 · 07/07/2018 00:13

Freya,
Orla sounds like oral. Milo sounds like a tv character.
Fay might be an idea.

Glumglowworm · 06/07/2018 23:19

I really like Mila

Freya would be my second choice of those names

I’m not really a fan of Sienna or Orla

daisypond · 06/07/2018 21:34

Probably Orla.

Sessy19 · 06/07/2018 20:57

I have never liked Freya...it sort of sounds sickly to me.

Mila (Mee-ya?) as in Mila Kunis... I love it!

Orla is pretty, (my phone just autocorrected it to oral, but that’s not a reason to not choose it!!😂) but there’s something about it that stops me loving it.

Holly is boring and, like Sienna, to me, a bit tacky....too many Page 3 girls with these names when P3 was a thing...

DramaAlpaca · 06/07/2018 20:08

I love Sienna & Orla.

pilates · 06/07/2018 20:06

Orla is my favourite

MikeUniformMike · 06/07/2018 13:43

Holly - a bit Christmassy?
Orla - nice but might be quite popular
Freya - lovely but way too popular.

Mila - Don't like it

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/07/2018 10:34

Sienna and Ella are both nice, good list of names you've chosen. 😄

Mousefunky · 06/07/2018 10:24

I like Orla best. I’ve always liked Holly but it’s too common. Never liked Freya but it’s also common. Mila is nice but there’s three pronunciations so it would get quite irritating explaining which it is.

DeckSofa · 06/07/2018 10:08

Holly is the nicest by a long way. Sienna in second place.

lemonnmeringuepie · 06/07/2018 09:42

Mila and Holly are on my list too but going with Joley if it's a girl.
Not too keen on Orla or Freya but they seem quite popular on this thread!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/07/2018 09:21

I love Holly.
Freya and Orla are nice, but not keen on Mila.

RedDwarves · 06/07/2018 08:43

Love Orla, and like Freya.

I'm not a fan of Mila or Holly.
