Hi all, apologies for a final name post but our daughter is here and a few days old and we have agreed to choose her name this weekend as we don’t have the same favourite. I’m not interested in any other names but please could you rank my list below from favourite to least favourite:

Phoebe
Clara
Sophie
Beatrice
Poppy

Thank you!

They are all nice

I love Clara as I'm a fan of the nutcracker but my fear is that it will become over used.

Beatrice is cute

Poppy is nice. Bit boring
Sophie. Classic but again boring

Phoebe. Very nice not over used

Beatrice- Lovely, every little Beatrice I have met has been an angel.

Phoebe- Such a fun name. I only know a few but they are a wide range of ages and it suits them all.

Poppy- Very sweet, however I don’t personally love flower names. They don’t age that well imo.

Sophie- Really not a fan of this one, very early 2000’s to me.

Clara- Clara’s please do not read this! I really hate this name, part of it could be the way Americans pronounce it (clEra) but I also think it’s just a really meek name. Along with Claire it just feels forgettable and bleh.
