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?

Thank you Leo, I think Penelope is probably the front runner right now.

I used my son’s name despite it being a colleague’s name and several colleague’s children’s names.

The colleague thing wouldn't bother me.

I don’t think a colleague would make me change my mind but someone closer would - my top choice was always Sophia but a family member named their daughter Sofia and we’re close enough that it would be weird for me to use it too.

I would keep the name.

That's more than five I know.

With the colleague, I wouldn't like others thinking I had no imagination and copied the colleague who'd used the name first. But then, if the staff turnover is high, maybe just use the name. People will quickly forget what their first thoughts were when they heard your choice.

MonkeyPuddle · 17/01/2021 00:52

My daughter is Tilda.

Other options were

Clemency
Esther
Adrienne
Adeline
Ramona

Wouldn’t be fussed if a colleagues child had the same name.
