Of those I prefer Claudia.

PaintingTheFence · 25/07/2010 21:58

I like Georgina (Gina as nickname) and Lois

Personally I'm not keen on Claudia or Lila.

Mollydoggerson · 25/07/2010 21:59

Georgia?
Georgina/Gina/Nina
Then
Claudia.

BelligerentGhoul · 25/07/2010 22:03

I like Georgiana (as in Darcy or Duchess of Devonshire) but not Georgina or Georgia. Like Claudia or Claudette. Don't like Lila or Lois.

NiceCuppaT · 25/07/2010 22:06

Georgiana is too fussy/frilly for me so won't be having that, and have a friend called Georgia so don't want that.

Lila

foreverastudent · 26/07/2010 00:13

Claudia is prob the best, all are fine, though.

lois is too lois lane for me.

lila just makes me think of kate moss's daughter

would you pronounce it li-la or ly-la?

JuJuu · 26/07/2010 00:27

I really like all 4, Claudia prob my fave.

NiceCuppaT · 26/07/2010 06:21

Lie-la

I really like Lois - nicest of the four IMO.

violetsmile · 26/07/2010 09:05

Lois

PestoEatsPasties · 26/07/2010 09:07

I like Claudia

not keen on the others

sorry

Kathleen123 · 26/07/2010 10:34

I like all the names, Lois is my fave.

NiceCuppaT · 26/07/2010 19:58

Think I've gone off Georgina...

OP posts:
BessieBoots · 26/07/2010 19:59

Claudia or Ginny.

NiceCuppaT · 08/08/2010 22:17

Claudia lois I think

OP posts:
proudfoot · 09/08/2010 04:25

Lila is easily the best - simple and pretty name.

Claudia is also nice but a little bit dated and I don't like the English pronounctiation (do you say claw-dia or cloud-ia?)

thumbwitch · 09/08/2010 04:31

HAte Lois
Georgina - ok
Claudia - inextricably linked with the bloody annoying girl at school
Lila - I have a friend called this, and another called Leila, both pronounced the same. I prefer the latter spelling.

Do you like Alyssa?

NiceCuppaT · 09/08/2010 07:43

Thumbwitch I hate Alyssa I'm afraid!

Proudfoot I say it the English way - claw-dia

if Claudia is dated, I'm just wondering when it's 'time' was as this has crossed my mind yet I can't think of a decade when it was really used?

OP posts:
thumbwitch · 09/08/2010 07:50

No worries - just thought it was in similar vein to the others you had :)

Leila is my favourite, even if it wasn't quite in your original list

Kathleen123 · 09/08/2010 09:43

I like them all. Lois is my fave, followed by Georgina with nn Ginny

Haliborange · 09/08/2010 09:47

I like Lois.
Not keen on Lila (tooooo trendy), and how do you pronounce it? I know one Lie-la and one Lee-la.

Claudia (said the english way) is ok.
Georgina is my least favourite.

telsa · 09/08/2010 10:03

I love Lila - really beautiful. There is a very obscure old German play with this name as its title. It is beautiful (pah on Kate Moss!). Georgina lovely too with all those nns.

Tillyscoutsmum · 09/08/2010 10:07

Claudia is my favourite but the only one I'm not keen on is Lila
