Lucy and Holly - new to our list, please help

I like all your names OP, none are offensive or have bad connotations in my opinion.

I think Lucy is too well known to just be associated with the latest murder case and Keira, I think people would think Keira Knightly so should spell it correctly

Love Ruby and Holly from your list.

You might like:
Polly
Marnie
Sadie
Sylvie
Ella
Eliza
Tula

I love Holly.
Ruby is a nice name to.

I have gone off the name Lucy. Lucia is a nice alternative (I like the pronunciation lu-chia)

I like Sophie and Lucy rye best.

Holly is my favourite from your list 🙂

I love Sophie, Ruby and Lucy. Then again mine all have popular names, there is a reason they become so popular- beautiful stunning names!

Suggestions:

Millie
Freya
Alice
Ella
Kate
Laura
Nina
Tess
Emily
Zara
Isobel

Love Poppy. I have one! She is 20yo. Soooo many people have commented on her name growing up. Saying what a lovely name it is. It does really suit her though.

I also have an Isabel Lucy. Love them both.

Holly is nice too.

Tbh I think all your names are nice (except Everly or whatever it was!! )
They are all from the same 'mould' so I think just go with you're favourite 🤩

From your list, I'd only consider Lucy and Holly for my own child.

Lucy is my favourite, followed by Holly.
Sophie is OK.

I like Sophie, Holly and Poppy best.

Yea I think mine is the only one in her school, I loved it because of 50 first dates!
and also it’s a classic but not to old if that makes sense!
oh god yea! Pretty sure she’s rotting somewhere with a hint of back chat every so often! 🤣

So do I! She was the only one in her primary school the whole time she was there. I’ve loved the name Lucy since I was a little girl so knew i had my girl name sorted. 13 is a wonderful age isn’t it? ( said dripping with sarcasm) 😂

Keira would be my choice from your list.
How about Avery as it's similar to Emery/Everly but nicer IMO?

Keira - lovely
Everly - if I heard it, I may think you did Beverley.
Sophie - ok, popular
Ruby -quite nice
Poppy - love it
Isabella "Bella" - quite nice
Lucy - lovely, no one will associate it with Lucy Letby
Holly - lovely

I'm a Keira and yes, endless misspellings. Even from family members and close friends. Not massively bothered though.

There's a Reddit for names that are 'tragedeighs', where people poke fun at names with unnecessary extra letters in them (Ashleigh, Everleigh, Peighton, Breighden, Reighnbeaux) or names that don't have enough letters (Krayton for Creighton, Jaxon for Jackson) or names that are simply gobsmacking- Graisin / Gracyn for Grayson.

Behind the humour is the idea that names with this kind of spelling are a bit trashy.

I know someone who has both a Lucy and a Holly, both under 3. Lovely names.

Of the two, I think I prefer Holly by a smidgeon.

I like all your names. I have a Lucy. Never occurred to me to make any negative associations given the news at present and I love it more than the day we picked it. X

I'm a Holly, and I love my name! There aren't loads of us around, and when my DH was told about me by our mutual friend (all those years ago) he said he thought Hollys were cool and sophisticated.

He does now accept his mistake, but he also still likes my name.

I have a Lucy who’s 13! Didn’t even click the connection until you said, my nick name for her is lucifer tho! Not that I call her that in front of her mates!
love her name!

I really like Holly. It's also one of the few names where I don't mind it being changed to have the "ie" ending - I know more Hollies than Hollys and like both equally as much.

Holly - OK, not a fave but not bad
Ruby - like
Lucy - like
Keira- not keen
Sophie - like
Poppy - OK, bit childish to me but is fine
Isabella - really don’t like, too frilly! Like Isabel
Everly - really don’t like, not to my taste
Emery - as above

Keira - a bit 90s
Everly - love this
Sophie - too many about
Ruby - too many about
Poppy - quite like this
Isabella "Bella" - still very popular. Will be about three in a class if you include Isabelle/Isobel/Arabella etc
Lucy- nice. Not too popular
Holly - very 90s.

Keira - I think of someone older.
Everly - don't like it at all
Sophie - like it
Ruby - cockerpoo or spaniel
Poppy - really pretty
Bella - golden retriever or beagle
Lucy - like it
Holly - like it

I have teenage boys
All these names have been girls in my boys classes. So common amongst that generation. All nice normal names. Which one do you love?
Except Everly we don't know any of them. Makes me think of the Everly Brothers.
And I didn't realise you meant Lucy when talking about murders, I thought of poor Holly. Although I never usually associate the Hollys we know with this awful event.

The only 2 I like are Isabella and Holly, but Isabella has been done to death. Holly is a lovely name that won't date and I haven't heard it screamed in supermarkets at all so it can't be very common.
