4 days old and nameless!

My daughter is four days old and we still haven’t decided on a name. We have a few options, just not a favourite!

My husband’s favourite is Erin. How popular is this? I didn’t think it was, I’ve only known of one who would be in her 20s now. Since looking on here though it seems to get mentioned a lot.
He also likes Eliza. I like both of these and would happily call her either.

I like Alice and Nancy. Husband isn’t as keen on these but doesn’t mind them and would be happy with either.

I like them all and don’t have a favourite. I think if I had to choose one though I’d go with Nancy but only because I think it’s the most different but I could be wrong about that.

Family or friends say their favourite and that sort of sways me but then someone else will say something different so then I change my mind again. I’m hoping the opinions of mumsnet will help.

Also, we already have a Phoebe.

Thank you

Dds reception class not FDA!
Nancy is my favourite of those, dd2 was almost Nancy.

Erin is Welsh. It means Ireland. It's very popular here in wales. 2 in FDA reception class and I know lots of others.

I like Eliza and Alice best. Alice is very classic. I think it goes best with Phoebe. I like Erin, but I think it's only suitable for those with Irish roots, personally. I know quite a few and they're all at least part-Irish. Nancy is OK. It has a certain charm and it's quite current, but I prefer it as a pet name for Anne.

I have a Phoebe! Can't say her sisters names as it will out me.

Out of your names I do prefer Erin. Then Alice then Nancy

I like Eliza, No a few Nacy and Erin's so they aren't both popular. Always liked Alice it's never been popular but it's a well known name.

I also like Nelsa, Elsie, Tara or Clara
