Can't settle on a girl's name..

We don't know whether we're having a boy or a girl. We've finally settled on the name Joshua for a boy but can't seem to narrow down our list of girls names and with only a couple of weeks until D-Day I'm starting to panic!

Which do you prefer (to go with a one syllable surname) or what sort of children do you associate these names with?

Ivy
Charlotte
Jessica
Chloe
Georgia

I like Jessica best, nothing wrong with "common" or "safe". They're generally popular for a reason - because they're nice, classic names :)

Jessica is my favourite from your list.

I like ivy most from your list.
As another person said, they’re ‘safe’ names so I don’t think you need to worry about associations

Jessica is my favourite by a long way, it's a beautiful classic name, sweet for a little girl and cool and classy for a grown up.

Ivy is my least favourite from your list.

Those names are all so mainstream and common that the isn't really one association that comes to mind. They are just all quite safe.

Joshua is lovely! And I actually really like all of your girl names!
My top three in order would be:
Jessica
Charlotte
Ivy
