Our baby girl is due next month and we can't decide on a name. Our list is quite long so please say which name/names you like most and which ones you like least.

Our favourite name is Florence but as our surname begins with F we'll probably have to rule it out.

I also like Violet but DH says it sounds too similar to violent.

The other names in no particular order are:

Isla
Hope
Grace
Lily
Polly
Isabel
Isabella
Isadora
Esme
Edie
Tess
Cara
Clara
Carys
Amber
Zoe
Letty (if DH allows Violet)

Letty (Violet) - lovely
Zoe - no (page 3 girl)
Amber - no (as above)
Carys - lovely
Clara - nice, also like Clarice
Cara - lovely
Tess - lovely
Edie - really don't like - too harsh
Esme - lovely
Isadora - no
Isabella - like
Isabel - ok
Polly - no too keen
Lily - too popular
Grace - nice but too popular
Hope - not keen, very american
Isla - prefer others

Your list is great. I love Florence as well - does it matter that your surname begins with F?

Why can't you have Florence F....?
