We are sorted for a boys name, but struggling to agree on a girls name.

Opinions on these 3?

Thanks Smile

So Lucy or Sophie for me -

Rory and Lucy
Rory and Sophie

Both sound nice together :)

I have a Finn.

Lucy and Sophie were on my girls list. Also on the list were Alice, Emma, Katie, Erin, Melissa, Ivy (and too many others!)

I like all three but would choose Phoebe as I think it’s slightly more unusual. Certainly for where I’m from! X

Phoebe. If my son had been a girl 20 years ago he would have definitely been calling Phoebe ...it’s a pretty,timeless name.

Lucy

jessstan1 · 19/10/2020 23:13

They are all good names, all have an 'ee' sound at the end. I noticed your son is Rory which also has 'ee' sound - why not choose a name without that?

Sophie or Lucy.

Both Sophie and Lucy are timeless classics and belong with names like Alice, Charlotte, Eleanor, Jane, Anna, Rose.

Phoebe is fab too Smile

Lucy

Lucy- like the light. A beautiful name that doesn't age. Smile

Lucy, then Sophie then Phoebe.

Smellbellina · 19/10/2020 22:16

Lucy

Inkpaperstars · 19/10/2020 22:15

I really like the name Sophie, but I think it is more overused than Lucy at the moment. Lucy is the most classic, timeless choice I think.

Sophie

Lucy

Merename · 19/10/2020 21:58

Phoebe for me a million percent, I know one phoebe and literally about 10 Lucys and Sophies each. I’m sorry, but for me both those names are dull and insipid, but I guess I am in a minority as they are so popular! Love Rory and Finn tho.

Sophia is nice, but there seem to be loads of Sophia/Sofias about. I don't know any young Sophies.

Lucy

Beamur · 19/10/2020 21:46

Not Phoebe
Lucy or Sophie (how about Sophia?)

Beautiful3 · 19/10/2020 21:42

Thanks, seems fairly split!

All nice. I especially like Lucy, it reminds me of Lucy Pevensie and seems like a really sweet name. Sophie is nice as well. I'm not as keen on Phoebe, I like it written down but I don't love the sound of it.

houmousexpert · 19/10/2020 20:32

Sophie!

Chicchicchicchiclana · 19/10/2020 20:27

Definitely Phoebe
