mostly very trendy at the moment so there would be lots of others with the same name
apart from Lexie, perhaps, which just reminds me of sexy Lexy - Miss Lexington in early Grange Hill

MoshiMoshi · 06/03/2009 22:07

Lola or Scarlett.

ohdearwhatamess · 06/03/2009 21:25

Like Caitlin, don't like the others (although would like Alyssa if it was Alicia)

Chatkins · 06/03/2009 21:07

Like Alyssa best, but prefer Alicia if I am honest !

CatchaStar · 06/03/2009 21:07

Only like Lauren, Scarlett at a push.

moondog · 06/03/2009 21:06

All dreadful.

dizzydixies · 06/03/2009 21:04

Alyssa - ok
Caitlin - ok but very popular now if you're bothered by that
Ellie - prefer Ella
Lauren - bit boring imo
Lexie - I have one, be careful, they're fiesty!
Lola - like
Scarlett - can't make up my mind, something bothers me about Scarlett, I think its because it has the word scar in it

Lola is a favourite of mine. It is very popular, but I just love it and always have.I like all of them except for Caitlin, to be honest. Caitlin is one of my worst names ever - I just hate it. It sounds made up (Caitlin is actually the Gaelic spelling of Kathleen. The Yanks bastardized it and gave it back to us as 'Kate-Lynn'. Yuck. Sorry.)

caitlin
scarlett
lauren

in that order are my favourites!!

hazeyjane · 06/03/2009 19:56

Ellie and Lauren would be my favourites on that list, they are classic and very pretty without being too flowery.

Tidey · 06/03/2009 19:56

There's not a single name there that I dislike, they're all really lovely. My favourites from your list are probably Alyssa, Lexie and Scarlett, but it's very hard to choose just one!

Congratulations in advance

all lovely except lexie and lola (charlie and lola has ruined that one)
