My partner and I are struggling to decide which girls name we like best, which do you prefer?
The middle name will be Florence after my grandmother.

Ivy (I have loved this name for years but I’m really put off by its recent popularity)
Polly
Lila
Autumn (partner says it’s too out there and I’m in two minds)
Blossom (partner says it’s too out there again!)

Thanks 😊

Polly is a lovely name.

Ivy or Polly

Out of your choices I would choose Ivy. I’m a primary school teacher and we have no Ivys in school currently. My 6yo DD does have one Ivy in her class.
How about Ida, Ada or Iris?

My favs are Ivy and Autumn

DaddysGirl36 · 08/12/2020 17:11

I have a Polly & I love it. Lots of compliments. It's not unusual or unheard of but never in the top baby names which I like

Joeyandpacey · 08/12/2020 17:10

Blossom and autumn.

Jigglypuffler · 08/12/2020 17:09

With the middle name, I'd go for Lila.

But I also love Polly.

Others, meh

Blossom is a donkey or a cow.

Polly and Autumn are nice.

Honestly?

Ivy - lovely. Classic either way.
Polly parrot.
Lila meh ok. One of many similar names atm.
Autumn - quite nice but only for an autumn baby imo.
Blossom- sweet but more like a nickname, will date.

AdelaideK · 08/12/2020 17:06

I like Lila and Autumn. Not fussed on the other two.

Polly by a country mile
