We’re trying to narrow down our girls choices and these are the current front runners. Which would you choose (and/or what else might we like?)

We do like Sophie and Katherine (nn Katie) too but already have both in the family. Surname is long and starts with a W.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Wowcherarestalkingme · 07/11/2021 11:08

Charlotte is my favourite girls name

seriousandloyal · 07/11/2021 10:55

Prefer Charlotte

Luredbyapomegranate · 07/11/2021 10:28

Hannah

Other two are overused

danascully96 · 07/11/2021 08:26

Charlotte! Hannah sounds sweet, but slightly docile. Emily is too prim for my tastes.

Lucyinthesky07 · 06/11/2021 15:44

Hannah (I have one)

Edenember · 06/11/2021 08:26

Hannah

GoodnightGrandma · 06/11/2021 07:02

Emily is my favourite, Hannah I like and is possibly less heard of.

CampagVelocet · 06/11/2021 07:01

Hannah. Emily is so bland and overdone; it's the white bread of names. Charlotte isn't bland but is becoming very popular (if that bothers you). Hannah is lovely and you hear us far less often.

MissMarplesGoddaughter · 06/11/2021 06:59

Another vote for Hannah. Just beautiful :)

MsTSwift · 06/11/2021 06:57

Can’t get excited about any of them sorry - popular super dull names. I would want something more special for my child. Not a crazy name but not one of these over used ones.

Something like Miranda, Susannah, Mary, Hester something still classic but refreshing rather than just using the same few names that everyone else uses.

Purplesparkle34 · 06/11/2021 06:50

Charlotte. I love Lottie as a nickname

lemongirl1985 · 06/11/2021 02:57

My Hannah is 3 weeks old 💖 go for it!

Pemba · 06/11/2021 00:42

I agree, Emily is lovely, but Charlotte and Hannah are also very nice names. Although, like some pps I really prefer Anna to Hannah.

Nice to see classic names being chosen, instead of some of the weird faddy choices a lot of new parents are making these days.

Marcipex · 06/11/2021 00:19

Emily
Charlotte
Anna (really not keen on Hannah)

Fivebeanchilli · 06/11/2021 00:15

My dd is 18 now but the most popular girls' name in her secondary school was Hannah, closely followed by Anna. I know so many Hannahs (and unlike the earlier posters I know quite a few who are annoying). I don't dislike the name but I find it a bit simpering and it doesn't feel very substantial.
They're all too popular for me but otherwise I would go for Charlotte which I love them Emily which is ok then Hannah.

Hoolihan · 05/11/2021 22:16

I think all three are a bit boring but Hannah is the best of the bunch. I really really love Anna and sometimes wish I had used it for my daughter instead of the name we picked. How about Esther, Rachel or Helen?

TillyDevon · 05/11/2021 22:14

So rare I love all the names! Struggling to choose actually, i think I like Charlotte most of all. Can you please also choose my boy’s name

Iwant2move · 05/11/2021 22:10

Hannah.

Kitkat151 · 05/11/2021 22:10

Hannah
I also like Catherine ( not with a K)

BettyfromBristol · 05/11/2021 22:06

Hannah. Because it is lovely, and because it would be quirky and cool to have a palindrome for a name.

WaitinginVain · 05/11/2021 22:03

Charlotte definitely.

Not a fan of the others but Hannah's my least favourite.

vampofsavannahga · 05/11/2021 22:02

I was going to be named Emily but my parents decided I wasn’t dainty enough 😂 so I ended up as another of the names on the list - let's just say I’m gratified as the results of your straw poll 😂 (except for the comment about never meeting a nice Hannah, I'll have you know I’m lovely 😂😂)

TattySlippers · 05/11/2021 21:54

Emily, Charlotte, Hannah. In that order

AlexaShutUp · 05/11/2021 21:53

@AgnesNaismith

I’ve never met a nice Hannah

And I've never met one who isn't absolutely lovely!!

AgnesNaismith · 05/11/2021 21:51
