Never thought a baby name would be this hard!!! Maybe it’s because it’s the third and I’ve used up everything I like. So here we go. Rate/slate/offer suggestions.

Violet
Willow
Harlow
Blake
Aaria
Lottie

I think violet is my favourite. But I really don’t know. Any help appreciated.

Violet is the only nice one.

AdaColeman · 04/06/2020 23:38

Violet is lovely.
Not keen on any of the other names.

Fishfingersandwichplease · 04/06/2020 23:32

I am no Katie Hopkins and not against people naming their kids after place names but please don't call a lovely little baby Harlow - it is a bit of a dive!!

Pearl
Jane
Sorrel

packetandtripe · 04/06/2020 22:57

Aaria is lovely but maybe without the extra a, no need for it.

Blursula · 04/06/2020 21:53

Aaria is my fave but much prefer it with the spelling Aria.

sweetnosugar · 04/06/2020 21:52

Aaria - I like the spelling Aria better.
A few suggestions -

Violet - fine, but will be Vile-et
Willow - not my taste
Harlow - too similar to Arlo. A town in Essex? Harlot with a silent t?
Blake - I think of it as a boy's name
Aaria - no. Is it even a name?
Lottie - fine. I'd put Charlotte on BC

user1493494961 · 04/06/2020 20:31

Only like Violet and Lottie, if short for Charlotte. Harlow is particularly awful.

userabcname · 04/06/2020 20:25

Violet - I don't mind it.
Willow- love! Very pretty. My top choice.
Harlow- no, dislike, sorry.
Blake - quite cool, I like it. Kind of a different vibe to your other names but in a good way. Joint top place.
Aaria - like a lot!
Lottie - it's ok but doesn't stand out in this list.

Love Harlow
