What are your top 5 baby girl names?

Also... would a colleague naming their child your top name during your pregnancy make you change your option or would you keep it?

A colleague naming their child the name I wanted would make me change it... sadly.

Emilia
Pippa
Pheobe
Imogen
Lyra

No it wouldn’t bother me, it’s only a colleague. Wouldn’t go for the same baby name as my sister or best friend but I wouldn’t be bothered about a colleague.

Synchrony · 28/01/2021 10:12

Adelaide
Hilary
Lorna
Belinda
Sylvia

It would annoy me about the work colleague, but I'd still use the name since I don't socialise with any work colleagues outside of work so wouldn't realistically have any impact.

stormelf · 28/01/2021 04:42

If I have another daughter these would be in the running:
Terra
Toria
Runa
Asteria
Astraia

If I had my heart set on a name I would still use it regardless of whether a colleague has used it, however I think it would bother me for a bit but in the long run if its the name I loved then that's more important

Jiminycricketp · 27/01/2021 22:11

Other than my daughters names
Ivy
Olive
Clara
Nelly
Ada

It would depends on how close I was to the colleague and how common the name was.
