I like Grace, it’s very clean and strong sounding.

Lemonsyellow · 09/11/2021 19:42

1:Grace
2:Alice
3:Poppy

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/11/2021 19:25

Grace - not all that popular as a first name, and a classic
Alice and Isla are nice too, but very overused
Mia is faddy, and way overused
Poppy and Daisy drippy IMO and bit overused also

FindingMeno · 09/11/2021 19:15

Mia then Isla

Fivebeanchilli · 09/11/2021 19:14

Daisy - lovely. I would struggle to choose between this and Alice. Daisy is more feisty for me so I think I'd probably pick this from your list.
Mia - no. I find this weak sounding
Poppy - I like this
Alice - this would be my second choice i think
Isla - it's ok. Just so popular.
Grace - don't like. This is a bit like Mia for me. Meh....

I adore Alice.

Isla is too popular for me personally, sorry and I find Poppy and Daisy a bit twee. Grace would be my second choice, it's a nice name but I'd worry about having a not-particularly-graceful Grace. Mia is ok but blends in with a sea of Mila, Emilia etc.

If you're after suggestions: Sophie, Lucy, Amy, Mary.

SparklyGlasses · 09/11/2021 14:57

For me:

  1. Alice
  2. Poppy
  3. Grace
RestingStitchFace · 09/11/2021 14:54

whitecrayon · 09/11/2021 12:42

Alice and Isla are probably the only two I like from that list

abigailsnan · 09/11/2021 12:25

Alice has always been a favourite with me.

DukkaDukka · 09/11/2021 11:51

Daisy - not a fan of cutsey flower names that only suit toddlers (IMO)
Mia - not a fan, bit wishy washy
Poppy - see Daisy
Alice - it’s ok but getting really popular
Isla - really like it but it’s soooooo overused. Massively popular and she’ll be the 75th Isla at school
Grace - see Isla. Also way overused as a middle name, often hyphenated with names like Isla.

thewhatsit · 09/11/2021 10:59

1 Alice
2 Grace

Srettel · 09/11/2021 10:57

Phoebesgift · 09/11/2021 10:10

They're all too sweet/cutesy/overused. Phoebe?

ILoveShula · 09/11/2021 10:08

Daisy - nice but a bit frumpy
Mia - Mere. Overused and lots of similar names like Maia, Maya, Mya, Mila
Poppy -nice
Alice - would use
Isla - pretty but overused, would need to be ok with surname
Grace - not keen

MysticCT · 09/11/2021 09:25

Isla
Mia
Poppy

ILoveShula · 09/11/2021 09:23

Alice

spagbog5 · 09/11/2021 08:28

Alice

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 09/11/2021 08:21

Alice by a long way.

Maria53 · 09/11/2021 08:20

Isla

Leeloo1233 · 09/11/2021 08:18

Alice from this list 🥰

Lightswitch123 · 09/11/2021 04:22

I like them all!

Joberge · 09/11/2021 04:08

I’d just be mindful that they are all top 30 names with thousands of baby girls named each a year- so very common names.

Alice is my preference.

BrunoJenkins · 09/11/2021 04:03

Daisy - I really wanted to call DD that but DH vetoed it Sad

CasparsWineBar · 09/11/2021 03:45

Alice

I wouldn't use the others as they are all very popular in this area already - I'd prefer DC not to be one of many with the same name.

But I think they are all nice names!
