Lucy, Jessica or Robyn?

144 replies

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.

Robyn or Jessica
Love Iris too

Have never been keen on Lucy
I can't say it without saying 'lastic' after it or 'juicy' before it. I blame my mum for putting that in my head

I know
1 x Robyn, age 28 (& a Robina, age 65)
4 Jessicas - 38, 25, 12 & 11
4 x Lucy/Lucie - 48, 46, 15 & 12

Also Erin is a lovely but Robyn is too matchy for my liking with the same 'in' sound ending and both with the R sound too.

I prefer Sophie to Lucy though if that's still in the running, Erin and Sophie are fab names.

ellentree · 27/11/2020 22:54

Lucy is a beautiful name. Robyn is ok. Don't like Jessica (but like Jess!).

BurtonHouse · 27/11/2020 22:49

Love, love, love Robyn. I wanted to use it for Dd but wasn't allowed. Still bitter.

LemonsYellow · 27/11/2020 21:44

I really, really dislike Robyn.
Lucy and Jessica are both nice. I love Iris.

Unsureif · 27/11/2020 21:32

Lucy.

I know a couple primary aged. A couple secondary aged.

orangeblosssom · 27/11/2020 21:18

Lucy and Jessica are very 80's/ old fashioned.

Not sure about Robyn either but better than the other two.

merlotormalbec · 27/11/2020 21:11

Lucy
Robyn
Jessica

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 27/11/2020 21:11

Lucy is lovely. Jessica too. Neither is heavily used. Robyn is awful, in my opinion may be unfairly influenced by previous experience with child of that name at work in a school

@DominaShantotto I bow to your superior knowledge on this matter and withdraw my vote for Lucy and recast it for Robyn!

DominaShantotto · 27/11/2020 20:51

@Sometimesonly

You're probably not going to like my vote but....

I was going to say Robyn - but not with Erin! It's really hard to say Erin and Robyn together!

So - I vote Lucy!

Oh if they push their luck enough it is VERY easy to bellow "Erin and Robyn" together :D

Tested - extensively. The bedroom is still a tip.

Oh no, don't throw isobel in the mix... One of my daughters is Isabel!! 😂 😂 😂 😂
I would have considered Lucy for both my girls but with our surname it sounded like a nursery rhyme, think Lucy locket 🤣🤣 and I absolutely love iris, shame my husband didn't feel the same, therefore you must name her Lucy iris just for me!! 😂 😂 😂

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 27/11/2020 20:37

Jessica is by far my fave of your 3 choices (Shakespearean, pretty and feminine). I like Jecca for a nn, but Jess is okay too. I love both Isobel and Iris even more though. Lucy I find a bit too cute sounding, and Robyn on a girl isn't my taste, sorry.

Tubbyinthehottub · 27/11/2020 20:31

Don't like Robyn at all.

@Boxofpinot 😂😂 Love it! I remember you liked Lucy Iris.

I did a thread around March time (before we started trying) and Lucy smashed it over Isobel, Jessica and Sophie. But suppose I didn't offer Robyn then!

DD and I would like to vote for Lucy and not vote for jessica

Fairybobbin · 27/11/2020 20:21

Robyn!!

Boxofpinot · 27/11/2020 20:08

@DeeandraReynolds I was hoping nobody would notice my devious underhanded ways... 😂 😂 😂 😂

Pinkclarko · 27/11/2020 19:42

My daughter is a Jessica, I love it. Had my son been born a girl he would’ve been Robyn, it’s such a cute name.

What do you like best OP?! It doesn’t matter a jot what we think, this thread won’t guarantee approval In the real world. They are all lovely names in my opinion, it’s a good list.

DeeandraReynolds · 27/11/2020 19:32

Grin @Boxofpinot. I disagree with your choice, but I like your very subtle way of beating the system Wink.

Boxofpinot · 27/11/2020 19:32

Does that count as more for Lucy?? 🤣🤣🤣

Boxofpinot · 27/11/2020 19:30

Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy

Robyn = 15

Lucy = 11

Jessica = 8

I know Robyn is on the lead (to my surprise) but the strength in the differences of opinion is quite big on this thread. Fascinating.

Surprised Lucy didn't do better after seeing it praised in other threads.

So I know:
1 Robyn who's around 50.
2 Lucys who are 33 & 40
6 Jessicas, one is 3 and the rest around their 30s
