So I'm 37 weeks and starting to think more seriously about my names shortlist. Baby number 2 is a girl. Our DD is called Fern.

Possible names are:
Willa
Mabel
Nola
Anna

What are peoples favourite and least favourite in the list? Thanks in advance x x

Nola, followed by Anna.

BULLY in The 4 Marys

Anna is my favourite. The others are equal (not so keen on them).

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 18/12/2019 17:25

Anna is lovely. A classic for a reason.

The others are a bit try-hard for my taste, but if pushed I'd choose Nola. Not Mabel, because of the Billy in The 4 Marys and not Willa because it sounds like Willy

Anna is my favourite followed by Willa Smile

Nola is beautiful x

Anna is the only one I like.

daisypond · 18/12/2019 17:17

Anna
Willa
Nola
Mabel - a very way long behind and dropped off the bottom.

I like Anna the best, then Nola since it's a bit different. I think a girl called Willa could be subjected to a bit of teasing at school I'm afraid...

BBLibra · 18/12/2019 17:05

@MacnSue I like Anna best Smile

MerryGrinch · 18/12/2019 17:01

Apologies, that was rude of me. I wish there was a delete button on here and I could control myself

MerryGrinch · 18/12/2019 17:00

I prefer Anna.

Mabel isn't twee middle class like twee middle class parents think it is - it's frumpy

ChelseaCat · 18/12/2019 17:00

For me it’s:
Willa
Mabel
Nola
Anna

MrsBudd · 18/12/2019 16:58

I'd put this in this order with first one being favourite

Mabel
Anna
Nola
Willa
