Which of these 3 names do you like the best

We are TTC at the moment and I can't stop thinking about names.
My shortlist is

Claudia
Isabella
Georgia

DD is called Olivia Kate so I am not overly bothered about the popularity thing.

Which one is your fave?
Any suggestions for middle names

I prefer Claudette to Claudia, but I'm a big Roy Orbison fan

LadyOfTheFlowers · 28/11/2009 15:40

1 Georgia
2 Isabella
3 Claudia

Would have called DS1 Georgia.

Love Isabella too.

frakkinaround · 28/11/2009 15:32

I like Georgia out of those. Claudia is lovely but as others have said the meaning puts me off.

MamaLazarou · 28/11/2009 15:18

Claudia.

Claudia

From your list, Georgia. Although I really like Isabella, it is extremely popular. We are going to use Arabella if we have a girl, either as a first or middle name.

I like Claudia best- it's beautiful. Isabella v pretty but I prefer Isabel (they are both v popular). Georgia is okay.

Runoutofideas · 25/11/2009 19:38

Georgia - but am biased as I have a 4 year old one! Also have a cousin Claudia who gets called Clauds....

If its a boy not really sure yet.I will need to get a shorlist together.
I like Rowan (pronounced cow)for a boy.

Thanks for all the replies.

The meaning of Claudia puts me off a bit and Isabella is v popular at the moment so I would say Georgia.

But she will be called George

How about Sophia instead?

VengefulKitty · 25/11/2009 14:18

Georgia will get called George. Claudia will be Claud.

I like Isabella, but then I would have called DS Isabella or Sophie had he been a girl. You can have Izzie, Bella, Belle, Iz etc.

I don't like the other two.

Hulababy · 25/11/2009 14:00

Isabella

CantSleepWontSleep · 25/11/2009 13:46

Claudia.

Although if you add an n then I like Georgina best.

Trialanderrorparenting · 25/11/2009 13:43

They are all really nice names.
I wouldn't tell anyone the choices as everyone has an opinion!!!
(I have a Zac and an Olivia. Zac not my first choice, but was talked into it and was post natal etc etc, would not choose again as too unusual,however it does kind of suit him so who knows! Am really happy with Olivia as it will hopefully stand the test of time and not date too much, we also call her livi for short).
I think either of those names would stand well for a young woman walking into a board room or any other walk of life!! Go for it
(Ps, love Georgia) x

redsofas · 25/11/2009 13:22

I like isabella but would the popularity of the name bother you like other posters have already said?

MissClavel · 25/11/2009 13:21

I love Claudia. You could call her Claudia Jean and CJ for short (wanders off into West Wing reverie)

weegiemum · 25/11/2009 13:20

I'm sorry, I don't like any of them.

sophiesmummie · 25/11/2009 13:18

Unfortunately the meaning of Claudia is not very nice...., shame as it is a nice sounding name.

Isabella is so very, very popular that I would avoid it for that reason.

That leaves Georgia . Nice name, although not my favourite.

But YOU'VE got to love the name, not us!!

MrsJohnDeere · 25/11/2009 12:11

Claudia.

Love Isabel/Isobel but not keen on Isabella.
