Melody
Kimberly
Lara
Ruby
Cassandra
Naomi
Kiera

Any thoughts appreciated? Thank you

Lara

I have a Ruby so I'm quite biased. Really don't like the rest, sorry

Rauha · 30/10/2022 15:58

Lara

Gigihulu · 30/10/2022 15:55

Lara or Ruby

Melody - really like and never hear it
Kimberly - clunky. Dated.
Lara - nice
Ruby - don’t like it, really really popular at one point to the point of it being overused.
Cassandra - ok, Cassie is nice as a shortening
Naomi - like it and only know grown up ones
Kiera - I like it
Layla - love it but it’s quite popular

I like Naomi. The rest feel quite dated to me.

Melody - cute but I'd be scared she'd just be Mel.
Kimberly - very dated but the sound is nice.
Lara - it's cute but combines trendy sounds and between all of the girls called Lyla, Layla, Laura, Lyra, Lisa she won't stand out.
Ruby - pretty, a bit 2000s dated. It's on our list.
Cassandra - on our list as well. It's nice.
Naomi - feels quite 90s.
Kiera - my husband loves this. I like it too but I'd be so worried people would always spell it Keira like the actress.
Layla - it feels tired somehow.

Ruby or Cassandra.

Kiera, Lara, Kimberly, Melody are fine too.

I’d choose Naomi

golddustwomen · 30/10/2022 13:09

Layla.

KangarooKenny · 30/10/2022 12:54

I like Melody.

Sager · 30/10/2022 12:53

Out of those I'd pick Ruby
