All lovely names, but this order for me:

  1. Anya
  2. Lara
  3. Melody
JemimaTiggywinkle · 20/12/2020 10:05

Lara and Anya are both really nice

emilybrontescorsett · 20/12/2020 09:57

Not Melody. I'd worry Lara would get Laura. Larissa is much nicer.

Bluesername · 20/12/2020 08:21

Anya

FippertyGibbett · 20/12/2020 07:25

I knew a dog called Lara, so that puts me off.
Melody is just Melanie but with a different twist.
I like Anya.

Housewife2010 · 20/12/2020 07:21

Definitely Lara. Lara is a diminutive of Larissa. Would you consider Larissa?

GeorgiaGirl52 · 20/12/2020 03:54

Harmony instead of Melody.

20viona · 20/12/2020 03:28

Lara is lovely

SpaceRaiders · 20/12/2020 03:11

Definitely Lara! I have a Lara so I’m slightly biased.

Ikeameatballs · 20/12/2020 03:11

Anya
Lara
Melody

Melody is the sort of name I’d have imagined calling my future dc when I was a young teenager. I can also imagine a lot of people would hear Melanie and I think that would become annoying.

EuphieKat · 20/12/2020 03:06

Lara! I have a beautiful Lara who will be 11 next month. We don’t know any Laras of her age .

Thisusernameistakenagain · 19/12/2020 23:25

Love them all not helpful
Good taste imo, op!

Nell96 · 19/12/2020 23:23

Lara, then Anya. Both nice. Not Melody - horrible name.

Firebird83 · 19/12/2020 22:38

Lara

RuthW · 19/12/2020 22:12

Love Melody.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 19/12/2020 21:43

Lara and Anya are both gorgeous - it's hard to pick one. I guess I'd choose Lara as it feels the slightly more classic of the two, Anya a bit more exotic. Melody does have a nice sound but feels a bit tacky to me in comparison (unless you are a very musical family and chose it for that reason?)

Chilldonaldchill · 19/12/2020 21:40

Anya is lovely. All the ones I've met have been great people.
Lara would be my second choice.
I think Melody sounds really naff.

laurielo · 19/12/2020 21:06

Lara

alexdgr8 · 19/12/2020 18:41

Lara
although i prefer Laura.
Anya, no, unless you are continental.
Melody, definitely not. name of a comic. and a very good film.
but not a serious name. it sounds essex girl.

lottiegarbanzo · 19/12/2020 18:38

Lara is beautiful. Anya's nice.

Melody is meh.

Theforest · 19/12/2020 18:31

Lara is great. I love Anya spelt Anja as in german spelling.

Melody... not so much...

Calmondeck · 19/12/2020 18:30

Agree with pp - Anya... Lara...

...melody
