We've managed to come up with a shortlist of names for our new DD and would like to gauge opinion on how they are seen as I have not a clue! I have mentioned a couple of the names (Jasmine and Lily) to various people and there have been some mutterings about chaviness and/ or being overused:

Please shed some light on this by letting me know what you think about our list and your favourite. Thanks!

Beatrice
Jasmine
Lily
Millie
Molly

IMO Beatrice Lily and Jasmine are the 3 most popular.

I prefeer Millie myself and i like Molly

I have a Bea so am biased but it is a really lovely name.

Not unusual but not quite so popular as Milly/Tilly/Lily.

And really who knows how a name will go - all it needs is for an ex BB star to call her child that name and there yo

Beatrice, Lilly and jasmine are lovely and not in the slightest chavvy Smile

I can think of a few names for some of those posting 'critiques' of names here....

How bloody superficial to stereotype like this. Shame on you.

Go with the one you like best and stop over thinking things.
