Appreciate your thoughts please. Middle names will be 'Paige Michelle' (I like paige but michelle is after DH's deceased sister)

Amelie - always liked this but wondered if too popular now. Also my (non-pregnant) sister has 'reserved' the name Amelia so would mean having to speak with her about it.

Ophelia - love it but unsure if nicknames

Seren - DH is welsh. Quite a popular name thereby we live in london

Thanks!

Seren is awful.
Amelie is too similar to Amelia
Ophelia is not much liked on here and has tragic associations.

How about Serena?

Ahhh seren! Beautiful!

Seren is the best in my opinion

I like Ophelia.

I think all 3 are lovely names, but my strong favourite is Seren.

Ophelia nicknames I have seen are Phelie, Fifi and Polly.

Seren is lovely.

Seren is close to siren - a high, shrill noise.
Serena - peaceful.

Snipples · 16/10/2019 05:33

Seren gets my vote

Emelene · 16/10/2019 05:30

Seren or Amelie.

MrsBertBibby · 16/10/2019 05:22

Seren.

Amelie sounds affected to me, and Ophelia is a tragic and desperately passive character. Also crude comments from spotty boys. Ugh.

Love Ophelia!

Amelie and Amelia are a bit to common for my liking right now but are both lovely names. Personally I don't believe in reserving names so I wouldn't even both having a conversation if that's the one, just use it.

Seren is lovely too. Does this work with your surname as well as the other two?
