I think Scarlett is lovely and Chloe is nice especially as its not very common nowadays. Freya is my least favourite but still nice!

Fivebeanchilli · 05/01/2023 23:38

I like Freya best.
Chloe is ok.
I'm not keen on Scarlett.

SemperIdem · 05/01/2023 23:36

They were all very popular 10 years ago and feel a bit dated now.

Of the three I like Freya the most, followed by Zoe. I really don’t like Scarlett.

JamSandle · 05/01/2023 23:24

I really like Chloe, followed by Scarlet

KirstenBlest · 05/01/2023 23:19

Chloe and Zoe might be a little close for cousins.
Georgette is a fabric.
Chlo and Frey not good, IMO.

Go with a name you like and are sure you always will. Sibling names don't have to match.

Cantchoosename · 05/01/2023 23:19

I like Chloe and Freya. Not so keen on Scarlett.

MulderitsmeX · 05/01/2023 23:16

I love Scarlett and find very hollywood too. I actually considered Katie Scarlett for DD.

I also like the name Gigi (and the book/movie) but would use Georgette or something as a full name

Thanks - I do love Chloe - accidental backwards accent ( fat thumbs ) ! I know it’s not exactly unusual and there is the chav things a few years back but it’s beautiful.

Also love Freya - it sounds so soft and beautiful but worried about popularity… obviously it’s risky with all my names on the shortlist that she won’t be the only one in the school … all are up there on the lists .

Scarlett - love the Hollywood vibes

I went for an unusual name with my first daughter and struggled with everyone’s reaction because I could see on their faces they they weren’t keen which knocked me. Now it’s ok but when you’re hormonal it’s not easy to battle the judgy judy’s and you question yourself !
I guess this time I’m going with the pretty names that I really like instead of picking something so out there for the sake of her being the only one !

Don't put that accent on Chloe, unless you want it pronounced Chloer (well a bit like that with a French accent).

Firebird83 · 05/01/2023 22:52

Chloe would be more unusual than the other two on a baby nowadays

FT123456 · 05/01/2023 22:26

I like Freya best

Krakenwakes · 05/01/2023 22:24

Chloe -it definitely doesn’t have that random accent you put on it.
Freya is nice.
Not Scarlett.

evemillbank · 05/01/2023 21:31

I'd also go for Chloe

LilacSloth · 05/01/2023 21:28

Chloe 💗

DuchessOfSausage · 05/01/2023 18:10

Chloe - don't use the wrong accent. Chloe is nice but was #1 25 years ago and now #52, so seems dated. Gets shortened to Chlo.

Scarlett - I quite like it but it is on a steep downward drop in popularity

Freya - the most popular on your list at #6 and has been popular for a long time

Mia - not as popular as Freya at #9 but has been very popular for a long time, and there are other similar names like Maia and Maya popular. I don't like how it sounds like Mere

Gia and Gigi - don't like either. I think people might say Ghia for Gia and Geegee for Gigi. Gigi makes me think of 'Thank heavens for little girls'

brusselspout · 05/01/2023 11:10

Chloé or Chloë never Chloè

FreyaHazel · 05/01/2023 10:51

I really like Chloe or Freya, I think either of those would be a great choice. Would be easier to pick just one if we knew middle names and surname. I'm not a fan of Scarlett.

I love Freya. It was quite popular 20 years ago but not anymore. It's a lovely name. Also like Chloe. Scarlett - I'm not that keen on.

Freya was the 6th most popular girls' name in 2021 in England and Wales! I do like it but prefer Chloe, which is one of my favourite names.

AnotherNameChangeYes · 05/01/2023 09:08

Freya is also hugely popular, I like Chloe. Not a fan of Scarlett as it’s quite harsh sounding. They’re all quite popular really.

Snoopystick · 05/01/2023 09:06

Chloe or Freya. Dislike Scarlett.

Freya

Twoinapod · 05/01/2023 08:32

Freya definitely

Mumofgirls2017 · 05/01/2023 08:15
