I like them all - they are all feminine without being twee

But Claudia is my definite favourite

How funny, quite a mixed bag of opinions!

What first and middle name combinations do you like?

LOVE Rowan. So I used it as DD's middle name. That's the only one I really like.

Love them all except Lois.

Lois lovely. Willow would suit a willowy type of girl! I always say Claudia as Cloudier not Clawdia - as I first heard it in the German way. I like it as Cloudier not as Clawdia but that's just me.

nappyaddict · 16/06/2010 23:54

Do like Wren, but sounds wrong with surname.

I have the same thoughts about Willow actually, may have to be a middle name.

Lovely. Lois very resonant of superman, don't see that as a bad thing.

Claudia is classy.

Willow is lovely too, taught a willowy girl called willow once. Too scared to give it to my daughters as it might not fit if they're like me as teenagers...!

Rowan is a little androgynous for me.

Have you considered 'Wren'?
