The ones we like are lola , marnie ,ruby, Gracie , Ella , alisia (said like al-lis-iya not al-eesh-a) sophia , Britney , dolcie, and Lauren. Which is the best and worst out of them as we can't agree and she's due September?? Thanks thought or anything would be a help or any suggestions and middle names to? Smile

I probably should have name changed for that post, but... what the heck Grin

Ella Sophia. She's a teenager now.
I've seen Ella described as dull and common (popularity wise) on MN, but we only know 2 other Ellas in RL. One is a teen and one is 8.

She has never had another Ella in her class, or any other groups or activities.

@Atlasta you're probably right about the pronunciation problem, and I'm not to keen on grace but I love Gracie wouldn't want her to get grace for short.

@findapenny The only thing about that spelling people might mistake it for al-eesh-a said the normal way so I though with the S made it more obvious the way it was said for her? Not sure if it's to weird tho?? and marnie is abit that girl from Geordie shore isn't it lol

My eldest daughter's name and middle name is on your list!

I quite like all of them (2 in particular) 😉 but not Britney

Atlasta · 21/07/2019 14:55

Love Marnie
Love Grace but think Gracie is a bit cutesy
Really like Sophia and Lola
Ruby is nice
The others are not to my taste. Especially not the Alisia and the pronounciation issues it will raise. It's also very 'common'.

I like Ella and Alisia. Really like Sophia but there are so many of them around. Not at all keen on the others in your list.

I think lola and alisia are nicest, though I think I prefer Alicia as the spelling. Britney and Marnie are my least favourite

Ella is lovely and I like Alicia if pronounced alice ee a. I'm not very keen on a Britney or Lauren

Sophia probably the nicest, Britney and Lola are awful.
