Due date today...we have 3 girls names that we like & we've decided we're going to wait until she arrives to name her.

What do you like?
Grace
Orla
Sophie

All lovely names but Sophia is too popular at the moment. I'd go with Orla.

MarshaBradyo · 31/07/2018 15:16

Not keen on Orla at all

Sophia or Grace

BlahBlahUsername · 31/07/2018 15:12

Grace

DuggeeHugs · 31/07/2018 15:12

Orla or Sophie

Davespecifico · 31/07/2018 12:56

Sophie because although it’s ubiquitous it’s pretty.
There is probably at least one Grace in every class at the moment.
There are a lot more Orlas around now than there were. I don’t like the sound of it when I say it.

Orla

I like Grace and Orla but not keen on Sophie

Yes I like Sophia it's just we already know a few Sophias so that's what puts me off having it.

Orla. Love it

Annabelle4 · 31/07/2018 11:59

Sophie, with Grace as MM

Would you consider Sophia? Just an idea I'm biased

toomanyeastereggsurghh · 31/07/2018 11:57

Really don’t like Orla. Grace is very dull imo. Sophie is my fave out of those 3, it’s a pretty name although i prefer Sophia.

Camomila · 31/07/2018 11:57

If it were me, Sophie (Though I would use Sophia)

Though seeing as you have Irish heritage I'd go with Orla.

ittakes2 · 31/07/2018 11:56

Grace

Threeandabit · 31/07/2018 11:55

Sophie. Derry Girls might make Orla more popular. The thing that puts me off Orla is, it's only ever one typo away from Oral.

Going to be a difficult one.

Orla, with Grace a close second.

BonnieLass5 · 31/07/2018 10:27

Grace 100%. It’s popular for a reason.

The other two are just bleugh.

Treaclepie19 · 31/07/2018 10:24

Orla

deptfordgirl · 31/07/2018 10:20

Grace.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 31/07/2018 10:05

I think Jessie meant the pronunciation of Orla OP. It sounds different with an Irish accent.

Thanks all its so tough, this is out second DD so want it to go with our first DD's name if that makes sense.
Yes I know what your saying @JessieMcJessie however i do have an Irish heritgage, to some people that I've mentioned 'Orla', to they also think it sounds foreign.
@Rhythms - not a fan of those.
@GreatDuckCookery - don't really like either of those.

Grace

Sophie is lovely but so common when you include Sophia too.

RhythmStix · 31/07/2018 09:50

Cora
Darla
Marla
Do you like any of those?

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 31/07/2018 09:47

Totally agree Jessie. In an English accent to me it doesn't sound good, especially with a broad northern accent!

Icklepup · 31/07/2018 09:45

Orla
