Which girls name is your favourite (and why).

Erin
Thea
Hazel
Clara
Sadie

edit to say, middle name will be Jean.

Thea and Clara.

Really dislike Hazel and don’t get the love for it. To me it’s an 80s frumpy name.

And yay for Jean as a middle name instead of Rose/May/Grace which have been done to fucking death.

Clara because it was my grandmas name,its beautiful and it's not overused like most on your list.

JamSandle · 08/11/2023 20:06

Erin

CesareBorgia · 08/11/2023 19:57

I'd choose Jean as the first name.

thecatinthetwat · 08/11/2023 19:57

Erin
clara

sortitpink · 08/11/2023 19:56

Sadie Jean is a superb name. Absolutely love Jean.

goodgriefsean · 08/11/2023 19:46

Clara and Hazel are lovely.
Erin feels dated to me, was very popular in Scotland maybe 15-20 years ago.
I don't like Sadie or Thea at all.
Clara Jean would get my vote it's a name I can see on a little girl and a woman, feminine but not twee.

CurlewKate · 08/11/2023 19:42

I like Thea. I do think Clare is better than Clara and more unusual. Have you thought of Jean as a first name?

Pinkchicken85 · 08/11/2023 19:41

Sadie Jean is my favourite, the others are nice names too.

Catandsquirrel · 08/11/2023 19:39

Sadie

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 08/11/2023 19:38

Sadie Jean

BoleynMemories13 · 08/11/2023 19:36

You have a lovely list.

My personal favourites are Hazel and Sadie. I like Erin too but don't think it goes as well with Jean, both being two 4 letter names ending in n. It sounds a bit blunt to my ears, as a combination.

Def Erin

MaloneMeadow · 08/11/2023 17:36

Clara! Elegant and classic

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 08/11/2023 17:36

Hazel and Clara are lovely

Divebar2021 · 08/11/2023 17:36

Clara is a rather elegant name to me… quite timeless.

HairyToity · 08/11/2023 17:35

I like them all except Thea.

SpeculatingRooks · 08/11/2023 17:34

Hazel
Love this name I've got 3 dds and Hazel was vetoed by DH every time sadly!
Dd3 middle name is Jean.

Pemba · 08/11/2023 17:33

Sadie or Clara. The trouble with Thea is it can sound like 'fear' in some accents.

homeworkismyhell · 08/11/2023 17:33

*preference not pretences 🤦‍♀️

Velvetbee · 08/11/2023 17:33

Sadie Jean would be sassy!

homeworkismyhell · 08/11/2023 17:32

I like all these and this would be my pretences in order;
Thea
Erin
Sadie
Hazel

Nope; Clara
