Hallie Isabel / Isabelle Lottie (but not Charlotte) Madeleine / Madeline Thanks in advance!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hahaha! I don't know.... knobby has a ring to it and you'd never have to worry about it being too common!

Ooh Eloise is pretty! I actually think Madeline goes best with that.

For the record... my eldest daughter wanted our Lottie to be called Knobby... we obviously didn't go with that suggestion! 🤣

Madeline

DuchessOfSausage · 13/04/2023 16:40

@sunshineday223 , I see Isobar

GlassBunion · 13/04/2023 16:31

Madeline or Madelein ( pronounced Mad-uh-lin.)

Ah thank you for the nice comments re Eloise!
I also think I lean towards Madeleine vs Madeline, I imagine it's the kind of name that will get misspelled constantly whatever spelling you choose! But Isabel is probably the same!
I do also like the Isobel spelling but DH thinks it's like Isofix 😅

Madeline

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 13/04/2023 14:59

for me it’s:

Hallie
.
.
Maddy
Lottie
.
.
.
.
.
Isabelle

I definitely prefer the spelling Madeleine as I can’t help reading Madeline as made-line.

summersanchez · 13/04/2023 14:56

Eloise is a lovely name. One of my favourites

Pemba · 13/04/2023 14:45

Oh, Eloise is gorgeous! You have nice taste. Also I feel that Eloise would go better with Madeleine or Isabel than with Hallie, as they're all slightly more traditional names.

Actually another reason to go for Madeline, imo, both Isobel and Eloise have a 'z' sound, so Madeleine might be better as the sounds are more of a contrast? Yet the same naming style. If you know what I mean...

Isabel

DuchessOfSausage · 13/04/2023 14:17

@sunshineday223 , your 3-yr old will probably suggest the name of a doll or cartoon character, and should have no say.
DC2 got no say in naming DC1.

Having said that, I do know 2 siblings and the elder one chose her sister's name. They both have fairly similar names, and she said it was the name of a character in a book. Her parents liked it.

Pemba · 13/04/2023 13:47

Don't allow your DD to choose, she's three! I'm surprised she's not suggesting Peppa, Dora or maybe Barbie. (Actually, Dora is OK).

I think Madeline/Madeleine or Isabel/Isobel are absolutely gorgeous names. Isabel has been so popular for quite a few years though, so going by that I'd pick Madeline.

Lottie is a bit cutesy especially as a standalone name, not short for Charlotte. I do think Charlotte is a nice name (although not so much as Madeline or Isabel). IMO, the 'char' bit is the most beautiful part of 'Charlotte, not the' lotte' bit, so a standalone Lottie is cheated out of that!

Hallie, hmm, it's OK I suppose.

@whatsyourpoison12 - yes absolutely!

@MerryMarigold I do really like Juliet but my DH isn't keen :/

@Heckythump1 ah that's good to know! I do think Lottie is such a sweet name!

@BeeBB I do worry about it becoming a stressful thing!

I have a 3 year old who is also very opinionated on this subject! For some unknown reason she is not at all happy with Madeline or Hallie but seems to be okay with Isabel or Lottie. Her fave names are Annabelle (I assume due to the baby Annabelle doll) or Serena (no idea where that's come from!) I like Serena but DH doesn't! Although not sure how much I should really consider a 3yo's opinion! 😅

Ooh what's your 3 year old called? That could change things completely!

blondie87 · 13/04/2023 10:03

Love Lottie

Isabel.

would you consider other names

octoberfarm · 12/04/2023 21:31

Love all of them but probably:

Madeleine/Hallie (tied!)
Lottie
Isabel

Beaverbridge · 12/04/2023 17:03

Hallie. Others are old fashioned.

brunettemummy2109 · 12/04/2023 17:01

I like Hallie

MerryMarigold · 12/04/2023 15:53

How about Julia or Juliette?

Easterfunbun · 12/04/2023 15:48

Madeline.

MerryMarigold · 12/04/2023 15:47

I know a Hallie who is 3. I know very many Issy's (Isabelle/ Isabella) from about 8-14. I love Lottie. I like Charlotte too. I was going to call Ds1 Madeleine but I know a few Maddies and I think the full name is a bit if a mouthful.

shoopshoopdedoo · 12/04/2023 15:27

I like Isabel and love Lottie, but I’d personally only use as a nickname for Charlotte, even if Charlotte is never used. I know this divides opinion on here, though!

Madeline is OK. I really don’t like Hallie.
