My DH threw that one in just as I was typing and he was taking DD up the stairs for bath. I'm not keen either.
Freya, hmmm yeah I do like it Grin

Freya.

mathanxiety · 21/01/2011 18:54

Sian or Isla. Though Freya is lovely.

Please not Bryleigh.

MercyMe · 21/01/2011 18:56

I really love Olivia, will be nice when she's little and grown up.

Not keen on Isla at all, don't see why its so popular.

Good luck!

Cara

onimolap · 21/01/2011 18:56

Cara - not wild about it

Freya - OK

Isla - OK

Meghan - OK, but prefer spelt Megan

Olivia - OK

Bryleigh - don't like

Sian - not wild about it

JojoMags · 21/01/2011 18:58

Isla is lovely, then Freya some way behind. Not mad on the rest, though, and definitely not Bryleigh!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 21/01/2011 19:12

Cara or Freya

ellie21 · 21/01/2011 19:13

I like Cara. I work in a school and there are loads of Olivias and Meghans but very few Caras. I think its a really pretty name.

lalalonglegs · 21/01/2011 19:17

Isla

FanjolinaJolie · 21/01/2011 19:17

Freya or Isla

Olivia is lovely but very popular so hgh chance of more than one in school class.

You like -a endings, how about Anna or Emma?

maandpa · 21/01/2011 19:19

Freya

Pterosaur · 21/01/2011 19:21

Isla.

deliakate · 21/01/2011 19:24

I love Cara. If you have any kind of Irish connection anywhere, go for that one. Freya I personally wouldn't use, because its Nordic and I think it suits a blonde better than dark hair, like I have.

diddl · 21/01/2011 20:27

Cara.

Hassled · 21/01/2011 20:31

I like Isla, Cara and Meghan. Meghan is probably my favourite.

Twinklebum · 21/01/2011 20:33

freya is my fav from ur list!

perpetuallypregnant · 21/01/2011 20:34

I like cara too.

McHobbes · 21/01/2011 20:37

Cara - pretty but well common these days - loved by chavs the nation over

Freya - my favourite

Isla - like this one too

Meghan - see Cara

Olivia - it's ok, but agian very popular....more loved by the Boden set though

Bryleigh - no

Sian - not bad

pointydug · 21/01/2011 20:47

Cara - good name

Freya - don;t really like, not sure why

Isla - it's ok, clean, simple

Meghan - don't mind Megan, don;t like the h

Olivia - don't like, floral pinny

Bryleigh - no

Sian - quite nice

I'd go for Cara

HettyAmaretti · 21/01/2011 20:50

I misread Cara as Clara, which I love.

Isla or Freya.

I don't like any of them, but Sian if you must.

niknakpaddywak · 21/01/2011 20:58

Isla is the nicest. Freya is really popular at the moment, it's nice but I wouldn't want my DD to have a name that everyone else had.
