I promise this is my last post. I think we have a final shortlist (although DH isn’t sure about a couple of them). We don’t mind about popularity so that isn’t an issue for us. With that in mind, what are your thoughts on the names below?

Thank you!

Isabella
Grace
Verity
Lilah (or Lila)
Ophelia
Mabel
Allegra
Olivia

Allegra.

Lilah has shot up in popularity. I've heard of three Lilahs in as many months.

Really dislike Grace, Olivia and Isabella, too popular and boring.

Isabella- ok
Grace- boring and a lot to live up to
Verity- ok but not to my taste
Lilah (or Lila)- nice but lots of Lila/ Lola/ Lyra/ lily- Layla/ Luna about
Ophelia- like
Mabel- love
Allegra- ok but could sound pretentious
Olivia- nice but so many

Know you said popularity not an issue just my honest thoughts!

I know so many Isabellas, Graces and Olivias that those names have lost any kind of impact, if you know what I mean.

Allegra is the standout one for me.
