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?

Apart from my daughter's name:

Beatrice
Lucia
Iris
Martha
Felicity

I would probably avoid a name a colleague had used. Having said that, 3 people who sit in my office of 20 have daughters called Ada, two born last year and it didn't put them off!

No it definitely would not.

It depends how close I was to colleague I suppose. If I socialised with them outside of work (so more friends) then no. If I worked somewhere very big and didn't have much to do with my colleague then I wouldn't be bothered UNLESS it was a very unusual name.

Dinner each week that was meant to say! I like my colleagues but no way would I see them every night for dinner 😂

Depends how close I was to said colleague. Hi and bye at work, wouldn't bother me. Dinner each night and play dates likely in the future? Maybe. Depends on the name really

PolarnOPirate · 15/01/2021 16:20

Oh the colleague - colleague is too far removed from my own life so I would stick with the name I love. It’s not like the kids would ever meet.

PolarnOPirate · 15/01/2021 16:20

Can’t pick 5 faves but some of them:

Adelaide
Zara
Heidi
Leonie
Hazel
And Mallory but just makes me think of mal/bad. I love how it sounds and looks though 😭

I have quite 80s taste I think as I also really like things like Natalie, Gabriella, Lucy, Louisa etc

Beatrix
Audrey
Nancy
Mary

And to answer your question, no wouldn't care.
