Hmmmm....I like Lila Rosalie myself - I think Lila is a lovely name. How about Lila Sophia? That has a nice ring too.

How do you pronounce Niamh again?

They're all pretty IMO :)

peanutbutterkid · 08/04/2011 04:38

"Neeve".
I only like Sophia in that list.
They are all a bit... ambitious?

Bubbaluv · 08/04/2011 06:12

Sophia Rosalie or Sophie Rose.

Niamh and Amabel are just pronunciation/spelling problems for life. If I met a child called AMabel I would think she was an Annabelle with a speech impediment.

I like Naimh Sophia or Sophia Naimh.

Amabel sounds ugly Wink

Lilia says sanitary protection to me.

Phoebe is faddy.

Robyn is the other end of the spectrum to your other choices. Wink

Thank you all!

I like Lilia Sophia and Lilia Rosalie too

Bucharest I take your comments on board! :) Do you really think Robyn is 'the other end'? I see it as a bit 'hippyish'!? Hmm maybe you're right.

I think I agree with both 'Amabel' opinions. It is one of those names that I want to like, because can't have Annabel, and love the meanings!

Why can't you have Annabel? That is a lovely name and there are lots of other alternatives which are similar.

Robyn is nice and I like Phoebe although never can spell it!

WishIWasRimaHorton · 08/04/2011 10:52

it would have to be a combination of sophia and niamh

lilia rosalie has too much 'li' going on

amabel will spend her whole life saying 'no not annabelle'

i think binchy when i hear maeve, and also 50% of people won't be able to spell it

Hdgygrl · 08/04/2011 10:56

I really like Sophia Niamh, very pretty!

BobbiDazzler · 08/04/2011 14:28

I love your names, with the exception of Amabel, which I think is just too close to the far more common Annabel.

Phoebe Robyn rocks!

nickelbabyhatcher · 08/04/2011 14:31

Amabel would be spelled wrong and get you Confused faces forever.

Onion1968 · 08/04/2011 22:01

Favourite would be Niamh Sophia or Sophia Niamh.

SolarPanel · 11/04/2011 00:48

I like Sophia, Amabel, Lilia, Rosalie and Phoebe. Not so keen on Niamh, Maeve or Robyn. Personally I'd go for

Sophia Rosalie
Sophia Phoebe
Amabel Phoebe
Amabel Rosalie
Phoebe Sophia
Rosalie Sophia

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 11/04/2011 04:26

Sophie Rosalie

Amabel is really silly!

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 11/04/2011 04:26

sorry, Sophia Rosalie!

thumbwitch · 11/04/2011 04:37

Don't like your last two combinations, Lilia Rosalie has too many 'li' syllables; and Phoebe Robyn too similar as well (IMO)

Prefer Annabel to Amabel, even though different names - have just never liked Ama-- names
Sophia/Sophie is SOO commonly used at the moment, I wouldn't bother.
Ditto Lily (although Lilia is slightly different)
Not keen on Maeve or Niamh unless you have Irish background or live in Ireland.
