I did one a while back with Lucy and Isobel & Lucy won by a mile! (Which surprised me)

So now trying it against a similar sounding name 🙂

DD is Erin... Not yet pregnant but TTC x

Sophie / Sophias are everywhere

TroubledLichen · 01/08/2018 22:22

Probably just a result of my school days where every girl was called Emma, Lucy, Rachel, Sarah or Sophie! I love Isobel (probably because no one at school ruined it for me) but it is very popular for babies now, not that’s necessarily a bad thing. And for what it’s worth I love all your boys names, Joseph especially, it’s such a classic and you don’t hear it often these days. Good luck TTC Grin

Both are lovely, but Lucy as less popular.

Sophie..

SpongeBobGrannyPants · 01/08/2018 22:19

I find both perfectly fine but a bit dull. So many of them. Sorry.

Thank you @Mollie85 😘 Toby was my least favourite too x

Sorry just my opinion but I find them both quite dull, and they don’t hold a candle to Erin which is lovely. That said Lucy is the better of the two.

Mollie85 · 01/08/2018 22:03

Love that you go for the more timeless classical names (Toby is the only one I’m not mad about).

Hope you soon get your BFP Grin

Lucy but prefer Isobel

Well we may break the stereotype if she comes out darker 😆 I love the name. I've met two blonde Lucy's and one dark Lucie in my lifetime.

Boys we really struggle on and never agreed during last pregnancy... I love George 💕 But DH doesn't. Others we've talked about are: Adam, Joseph, Joshua, Jack, Harry & Toby x

Yep, Lucy wins.

Mollie85 · 01/08/2018 21:49

Ditto blonde Lucys- the only one dark I “know” is Miss Penvensie ...
Actually saying that, Lucy in Snoopy has black hair... :)

Lucy by a mile Grin
What boys names do you have, OP?

Good chance of her being blonde @BendydickCuminsnatch (great name btw!) my DD is 😊

Love that I'm talking about an imaginary child lol But I promise I'm TTC x

Both lovely, but as there are more Sophies than Lucys, I'd go for Lucy.

DitheringBlidiot · 01/08/2018 21:19

Lucy!! They are all blonde, all the ones I know.

DramaAlpaca · 01/08/2018 21:16

Lucy

Theworldisfullofgs · 01/08/2018 21:16

Lucy (definitely and they are not blonde!)

BendydickCuminsnatch · 01/08/2018 21:15

Lucy, there are so many Sophie/as around and I just prefer the sound of Lucy. In my head all Lucys are blonde though!

macdhui · 01/08/2018 21:14

Love Lucy

Aridane · 01/08/2018 21:14

Both are beautiful names!

Icklepup · 01/08/2018 21:12

Still Lucy!
