Lucy, Jessica or Robyn?

My favourite is Lucy.

His favorite is Jessica.

Robyn is an ok one. Maybe a middle name if it doesn't grow. Also like Iris as a middle name.

Lucy is such a lovely name

Love Lucy! Lucy Jessica or Jessica Lucy so that way you’re both getting your fav name in there? That’s how we compromised with our second son’s name.

Yay to George! 🤣🤣 I knowwww. I appreciated the sentiment but bloody hell, I only asked which boy's name is best!

I have a Jessica so I’m biased. I named her after the most lovely little girl I babysat for when I was a teen. Love the shortened Jessie and Jess too. She’s 12 now and there were about 3 others in her year at primary school but it was never an issue for us. For me, it’s a popular name because it’s so lovely! I like Lucy too and know a couple of school aged girls with this name. Robyn isn’t to my taste really and I only know one girl with this name who is 5.

Found it op! Read the op, immediately said "George" to myself and then saw that was your choice Grin. God that thread went on a bit!

It ended up being about who's surname the kids having. Pissed me right off 😂 it's called something like "I like one, he likes another, we both like the third"

Can I ask where you're based? I have seen Lucy is popular in Ireland. But the chart someone posted showed Lucy isn't even in the top 50.

I do like Jess, but that's it. The other names are perfectly fine, but not my taste unfortunately. Prefer classics to the longer frillyish ones 😊 x

I like Lucy and Jessica but both so popular. I am a teacher and know an awful lot of Lucy's, several Jessica's and two Robyns (though I'm not a fan of Robyn). If I had to pick I would go with Jessica as it has more nn possibilities: Jess, Jessa, Jessy, JJ, Decca (always reminds me of the Mitford sisters). Or even go for something alternative like - Jessamie/Jessamy or Jessamine.

DeeandraReynolds · 28/11/2020 18:36

Lucy bloody Iris MrPudding! Or pinot will be round your gaff looking menacing!

Boxofpinot · 28/11/2020 17:54

I've said twice so I'll say it again.... LUCY IRIS!!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂

pincertoe · 28/11/2020 17:04

I love the name Lucy and wish I had pushed for it more with dd.

DeeandraReynolds · 28/11/2020 16:52

Oh just saw the plant connection! Has to be Lucy Iris then!

DeeandraReynolds · 28/11/2020 16:52

I like Lucy Iris and Lucy Aisling best Smile

So, if we go Lucy (if we even have a girl!)

Lucy Iris H....
Lucy Robyn H....
Lucy Jessica H....
Lucy Aisling/Ashlyn H....

Liked the idea of a flower middle name, but only because Erin's is Rose and I'm a popular plant this time of year 🤣

If popularity is an issue then Lucy. In England and Wales, there were almost the same amount of Sophies and Jessicas. Fewer Lucys and Robyns but Robyn is the only one gaining popularity of those 4 names.

Lucy, Jessica or Robyn?

I love all three. My DS is Robin but if he were a girl he would have been Jessica, Lucy or possibly Natalie.
Iris is my DDs middle name, named after my Grandma.

Zoflorabore · 28/11/2020 14:11

I was adamant that although I had chosen Lucy as a first name I wanted her middle name to be a bit different and she arrived a couple of weeks early on February 14th so she is called Lucy Valentine Smile

itakephotos · 28/11/2020 12:39

Robyn was our second choice girls name but we had a boy after our daughter.
Loved it then and I still love it now 😊
I've never met anyone recently with it either.

Boxofpinot · 28/11/2020 12:30

Wahoo!!! Hhhmmm, my youngest was very nearly Sophie.... Still Lucy iris!!! 😂 😂 😂

DeeandraReynolds · 28/11/2020 10:30

[quote Pudding01]**@Boxofpinot Lucy has always been my one! Erin nearly was a Lucy 😁 It's my DP that likes Jessica. Robyn was our let's trying and think of a name we both like moment.

We ruled out Sophie for popularity, as that was in the mix as well.[/quote]
Omg...@Boxofpinot, you've done it again Grin!

I think Lucy is the one op. Get your OH on here and pinot an persuade him!
