I like Eliza and Elspeth, but find Elizabeth very frumpy.

Lucy is ok. Not Lucie.

I’m not keen on Marcella or Autumn.

TippledPink · 15/02/2021 22:50

I like Lucie or Autumn.

Elizabeth is my middle name- I absolutely hate it. Listen to the people on this thread who have this name 😂 I see I am not the only one who doesn't like it as their name.

Definitely Elizabeth, classic.
Elizabeth Autumn maybe?

Serin · 15/02/2021 19:24

Lucy
Elizabeth
Autumn
Marcella

Oregano20 · 15/02/2021 19:15

Autumn. :)

Lobsterquadrille2 · 15/02/2021 18:45

Elizabeth is a lovely classic name. Lucy with that spelling is nice but not as strong. Reminiscent of Lucy Honeychurch and the girl in Narnia.

Kanaloa · 15/02/2021 18:42

Elizabeth is beautiful, you just can’t go wrong with such a timeless classic. Lucie is ok, I do prefer Lucia. Not keen on Marcella or Autumn really but none of them are awful.

pinkandblueflowers · 15/02/2021 18:39

Elizabeth

Yutes · 15/02/2021 18:15

I really like Autumn. Not that keen on the other names

lalalalands · 15/02/2021 18:08

Marcella - not my taste personally but interesting and nice enough, it would stand out

Lucie - would spell Lucy

Elizabeth - beautiful - my favourite of these

Autumn - naff

Muskox · 15/02/2021 18:06

Elizabeth is my favourite (nickname Libby or Beth rather than Lizzie). Then Autumn and Lucy (prefer it spelt with a y).

Not keen on Marcella.

Bruce2 · 15/02/2021 18:03

Elizabeth

sadpapercourtesan · 15/02/2021 17:58

Marcella is dreadful
Lucie is misspelled - I like Lucy but it's common
Elizabeth is lovely and lots of nice shortenings
Autumn is dreadful

babynamelover · 15/02/2021 17:57

I like Marcella beautiful and unexpected.

Labobo · 15/02/2021 17:57

Elizabeth Lucy (or Lucie) is a fabulous name.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 15/02/2021 17:56

Marcella - lovely name

Lucy - I like it but would not spell as Lucie.. just feels like you’re trying to make a point of being different with the spelling.

Elizabeth- nice, timeless, not used very often as a first name these days. It depends on whether you like Liz/Lizzy as these are probably the most likely nicknames, unless you consciously choose a different one. (Betty?)

Autumn - it’s not for me personally but would make a nice middle name

BananaSpanner · 15/02/2021 17:46

I like Lucie.
Elizabeth is my middle name and I really don’t like it, think it sounds dull.
Marcella- not keen but that maybe because I went to school with one who was a miserable cow.
Autumn is v pretty.

Namingtrends · 15/02/2021 17:41

Hey! I love the name Lucy and Elizabeth :)

HeadlessGummyBears · 15/02/2021 07:55

How about Elizabeth Autumn?

Luckyelephant1 · 14/02/2021 19:08

I really love the name Autumn, the others are OK.

TinyCake · 14/02/2021 18:59

I like Lucy best, then Autumn, but I'd only personally use it if born in the Autumn.

Strangely I'd use Dawn no matter what time of day the baby arrived though.

Bluesername · 14/02/2021 18:56

I like Autumn and Lucy best. Marcella is also nice in a quirky way. I'm not so keen on Elizabeth, I find it a bit stuffy compared to the others.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 14/02/2021 18:45

Elizabeth is lovely: a lot of great namesakes, the most timeless girls name in the UK so it never dates, dozens of nn's/variations so she can make the name suit her personality - for me there is really no contest compared to your other choices. Autumn is seems a bit trendy, Lucie will get misspelt (and is a bit cute imo), and Marcella very unusual and has a slightly hard sound to me (and will get mispronounced).

Ellewoods20 · 14/02/2021 18:13

Love Autumn and Elizabeth. I prefer the spelling Lucy and not keen on Marcella

MerryChristmasToYou · 14/02/2021 18:10

The names are very different.

Marcella - too closely linked to a TV show
Lucie - Lucy is the best spelling. Lucie will be written as Lucy.
Elizabeth - lovely and a classic
Autumn - bit naff if born in December - September. Not great anyway.
