I’ve just had a baby girl Smile

We have a 2 year old Max and can’t choose between the following options:

Mabel
Lyla
Willow
Molly
Marnie

Any help would be great!

I love Marnie
Dd (11) is voting for Willow

I love Marnie. Would be my choice for a little girl if it didn't go terribly with DP's surname Sad

Sungura · 27/10/2018 16:02

Mabel.

Icklepup · 27/10/2018 14:28

Marnie

Having the same initial is great for name tags and name stickers, particularly on expensive bits of uniform or whatever that get handed down Grin

Mabel is my favourite out of those names, but I would avoid kids with the same initial so would use Willow which is also lovely

SolveigSleeps · 27/10/2018 10:08

Willow is my favourite. I like Molly too.

Lila is a favourite of mine, but I'm not keen on it as Lyla personally.

nocluenoidea · 27/10/2018 09:47

Lyla spelt Lila :)

WildCherryBlossom · 27/10/2018 08:48

I love Mabel!

Cambalamb · 26/10/2018 11:17

Mabel is cute for a baby but can you imagine being called Mabel in your 40s?

Mumtobe193 · 26/10/2018 01:49

Mabel by a mile!

n0ne · 24/10/2018 19:46

Love Mabel

Sandsnake · 24/10/2018 19:08

Lyla. Congratulations!

Molly is my favourite, but would prefer it as a nickname for Mary. Other suggestions: Lara, Lucy, Layla, Leah, Mila, May?

Sophronia · 24/10/2018 18:56

Lila spelled this way

Cambalamb · 23/10/2018 22:26

Go for Lana instead! Never had that 3rd DD for that one.

Cambalamb · 23/10/2018 22:25

Marnie was a horror film wasn't it?

Cambalamb · 23/10/2018 22:25

Molly.

Rogueone · 23/10/2018 22:23

Congratulations! From your list it would be Molly or Willow

DreamsofJacaranda · 23/10/2018 22:17

Marnie.
Marnie
Marnie

I like all of them except Lyla (there are so so many Leela, Lila, Lola names and each of them seems to be spelt differently by different parents and it gets completely confusing....I know a Lila pronounced Lyla and a Lyla pronounced Leela, or I might have it wrong...as I said...confusing!!) and Molly. Molly to me is a nickname and a bit too twee for an adult's full name. My favourite is Marnie, which is a million times more elegant.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/10/2018 20:32

Marnie
Marnie and Max.

GMtoBe · 23/10/2018 20:13

Lyla by a mile!

Givemeallyourcucumber · 23/10/2018 20:13

Mabel or Willow

TatianaLarina · 23/10/2018 20:12

Marnie.
