Cara stands out by some way for me.

PlanetLizard · 21/01/2011 22:29

Cara - very nice (not Cora, which is like apple corers or cores). Also like Clara, Carina, Corinne

Freya - dislike, frayed material

Isla - very pretty, although Iona even nicer IMO

Meghan - lovely name, but with spelling Megan

Olivia - not particularly keen

Bryleigh - no

Sian - quite nice

HelenaRose · 21/01/2011 22:33

Cara - beautiful
Freya - lovely
Isla - beautiful, but very popular
Meghan - prefer spelled 'Megan'
Olivia - not keen
Bryleigh - ...
Sian - sounds like most of the word "shan't". Although I do know a Sian and she's nice.

hester · 21/01/2011 22:33

Cara or Sian.

Beamur · 21/01/2011 22:35

Olivia I like the best, but wouldn't choose it because its a bit too popular.
I'd go for Cara or Sian because I think they sound nice when you say them out loud.
I also know a Sian who is a lovely girl.

controlfreakyhappyandnew · 21/01/2011 22:35

cora. much nicer than cara.

muminthemiddle · 21/01/2011 23:21

Don't like Bryleigh or Sian.

Olivia is my fave followed by:
Meghan
Cara
Freya
Isla

ChippingInSmellyCheeseFreak · 22/01/2011 04:16

Bryleigh - I actually really like :)

Meghan - love it as mehg han not meeee gan though and not sure I'd want to spend the rest of forever explaining that! As you can see from above! :)

Cara - plain

Freya - plain

Isla - dislike

Sian - dislike

Olivia - I did.do like itm but it's a bit Mumsnet now Grin

KayM · 22/01/2011 04:38

Like Meghan.

monkeyslut · 22/01/2011 06:51

Not liking any on your list...sorry!

But have loved the suggestions of Clara and Corinne.

May I add Coraline to the mix?

All the best Smile

TettyLouBar · 22/01/2011 08:55

Thanks everyone. Youve helped to confirm some suspicions and confuse me too!
Think it'll be a few hours after birth before decision is made. Grin

How about Bryony instead of Bryleigh?

OddBodd · 22/01/2011 14:45

Isla definitely.

blackchloe · 24/01/2011 20:34

Like Cara, but have you thought about Cora!

pinguwings · 24/01/2011 20:38

Sian is pretty. As is Megan. The rest are a bit 'now'

gleechie · 24/01/2011 20:52

Lovely names and very Envy at a lovely baby girl!!

It makes me laugh when people think of Freya as a 'now' name. I am a mid late 20's and i had three in the same smallish school. Whereas DD now 6 has none in her entire fairly large school.
I always get complimented on it.
Good luck OP!!

Ninjacat · 24/01/2011 21:11

Ooh my names here (but please loose the H [bwink]

PlanetLizard · 24/01/2011 21:12

Any news yet? :)

CURLYMAMMA · 24/01/2011 21:14

Ooh, Cara is lovely (but love Cora and Clara too as suggested).

Christmasbelle · 24/01/2011 22:55

Freya or Isla

BarbieLovesKen · 24/01/2011 23:08

Cara - meh. Bit ordinary
Freya - Lovely
Isla - lovely - very popular from what I see on here.
Meghan - nice. Not special enough.
Olivia - Gorgeous
Bryleigh - awful.
Sian - Gorgeous.

Think I would pick Sian, very unique and elegant

readywithwellies · 24/01/2011 23:33

Sian please

hazelnutlatte · 25/01/2011 15:26

I like Cara, Freya and Isla. Might add them to my own list, thanks OP!

Quenelle · 25/01/2011 17:00

Isla is a very pretty name.

Not keen on any of the others.
