Lola - a dogs name ( a nice dogs name but still a dogs name)
Marnie - chavvy unless it’s a nickname for something a little more classy
Ruby - fine, not that special but it’s an ok name
Gracie - lovely as a nickname for Grace
Ella - pretty
Alissia is pretty just you’d have to work out the best spelling so it doesn’t look made up I think Alessia is the Italian way and you’d get the pronunciation you want.
Britney - HELL NO! Spears is the first thought and then trashy 90s American name
Dolcie - not a fan
Lauren - fine but dated

I love lauren to girls but she probably won't be lauren as known to many and a few bitchy Lauren's have put me off not ones that I've known well tho so maybe they were nice really lol etc, gutted tho as I love it maybe middle name, Lauren reminds me off the girl in eastenders called Lauren aswell haha x

I think Lauren is lovely and sounds fresh amongst all the others. It has fallen out of favour in recent years but is due a comeback. It's pretty but classic.

Not heard of Dolcie, do you mean Dulcie? In which case it's not my personal fave but I like it because it's unusual.

Marnie is ok, quite cute

Not keen on all the others, they're all a bit dull/popular.

Nothing wrong with it, just not my cup of tea Smile

@AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet what's wrong with Tiffany?

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 29/07/2019 21:46

No to Tiffany!

katy1111 · 29/07/2019 21:44

Sorry Bossbaby, only just seen this. Stupid autocorrect I know! I don't think Gracie ever got called Grace but didn't know her that well. I think a one-syllable middle name would go nicely like Gracie Rose.
The only reason I can think of that I don't like Marnie is when I was little I read a book where the dog was called Marnie so ever since then have always kind of associated it with that.
Lauren is a really nice name to be fair, it's just that I was in primary school in the 90s and there were 4 in my class so would imagine it's quite a 'mum's' name now. But it is still a nice name.

@katy1111 thanks hun I love Gracie to did she get called grace ever? dunno what middle name would go with it tho there's no way I would spell it alicia so she would be alisia I think it's nice that it's a better different. I love ruby to and Ella. Why u not keen on marnie? And I just love lauren I know it's abit dated but u could say loads of things are? And common but I think it's just like classic she may well be laura or one of the other but still haven't decided, there was this girl in my year at school called Lauren and we used to call her loz for short or foreign lauren ahahah she wasn't even foreign or anything she was totally english, just used to say it randomly to wind her up poor lass😂

Thanks everyone haha @katy1111 I was think splice eh?? And @KindnessCrusader that song is mint man! Think I've decided against sophia guys to posh sound and common for me so that's going to go out of the final list I think.

'She walked like a woman and talked like a man...l l l l loooola' Sorry Grin I do actually like the name but really can't understand the popularity bearing in mind quoted song!

The others are very nice. Not a fan of Britney but if you love it you have it! Good luck with your new baby Thanks

katy1111 · 26/07/2019 11:31

Sorry meant Dolcie not Splice!!!

katy1111 · 26/07/2019 11:30

Lola- love it
Gracie- quite like it, I knew a girl at uni with that name and it suited her
Alisia- like it but prefer the spelling Alicia
Ruby- love it
Sophia- love it but very popular now
Ella- like it
Marnie- it's ok but not massively keen
Lauren- like it but agree that it's a bit dated now
Britney- don't like it- think it's dated and just makes me think of Britney Spears
Splice- don't like it sorry, it sounds a bit wet to me.

You've got some really lovely names on your list though. As above, my faves are Lola and Ruby.

@AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet ee so funny u say that I love sapphire there was this popular programme years ago not gunna say it (see if any knows or can guess) and a girl on it was called that and I always thought her name was amaze! Duno if it's a little to bit weird tho? That's whats would put me off. And I know it's the birthstone for sept already cos that's my birthday month to. and a girl put me off rose haha I can say that about nearly every name. what's your other childrens names? I love sort of gem stone names lol. And ah well if she's ruby she's born in the wrong month then unless she wants to come early😁

I got dolcie/dulcie from teen mom uk. One of the girls on it called her baby dulcie-mae and I had never heard of it before and thought it was lush.

Christabel was one of the Pankhursts.

Saffie is nice on the Saphire theme. DD had a build a bear called Seraphina.

The DC's sm are full of Ellies Alices, Immies, Sophies, Emilys, Jessies, Tillys, Millys, Maddies, Izzies, Rose/Rosies, Floras. No idea what they'd call dc but they are still both at uni.
