After many many (many) hours we have come up with a shortlist for our third child and first daughter. We were feeling pretty proud of ourselves until we realised we had no idea how to whittle it down from eight to one. Would like to have a front-runner before the birth in March. Would love to know your preferences/ reasons for preferences/ thoughts/ observations etc! Thank you so much. Shortlist (in no particular order) is:

  • Ines
  • Evangeline
  • Lyra
  • Adeline
  • Gabriella
  • Ophelia
  • Josephine
  • Audra

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

The only one I love is Gabriella- I like Adeline- hate Josephine (I think the old grandmother in Willy Wonka)- the others all a bit "try hard" for my liking.

Love Ophelia and Lyra 🥰🥰
Ines and Adeline just don’t have a nice sound in my opinion. Adeline reminds me of a medical term. Kind of like Invisalign braces or something

I love Ophelia.

I like Evangeline but it reminds me of Nanny McPhee

Ophelia or Audra are the nicest to me.
