Audrey, Lois, Rita, Esme?

[birdofthenorth]

These are DP's latest suggestions for girls names! Liking Lois and Esme... what do you think?

Esme really popular at the moment.

I love Rita.

I think you need to have quads and use all of them- it sounds like a really cool sixties girl group.

Ooh I like Lois. Very cool.

Lois and Esme are great, Rita and Audrey are on Coronation street.

Lois and esme are nice names. Sorry but you can't saddle a little girl with a terrible.name like Audrey or Rita!

See, I like Audrey, as I know a particularly beautiful and charming one. Also like Lois, who was my favourite not-quite-cousin as a child. Rita sounds like a shortening for something else to me, and Esme I can take or leave.

I have an Elsie, she really suits it too! Esme is nice and lois!

I like Lois best.

Audrey and Rita are very Corrie.

Audrey - I really hate this name. It's still very popular in US (top 100 for several years I think) but I've never heard it on a child over here.

Lois - not keen but it's ok

Esme - Very pretty, really like it

Rita - Quite nice, never heard it on a child.

Rita is just too old lady for me - and I love old lady names!

The other 3 are lovely. Audrey and Lois are my favourites.

BTW Esme is very popular here (London) at the mo, I know 3 baby Esmes (pronounced Ez-may)

Audrey- hate it
Lois- lovely
Rita- far too old lady
Esme- pretty but very popular

Esme - yes, Lois - at a push.
Rita & Audrey - don't like them myself.

I have a Lois But we call her Lolly

I love Rita - due a come-back. Everyone knows it, knows how to spell it, yet not at all common. I think it's really pretty and would be my choice if I was having a another baby. Girl baby, obviously

Also love Pearl and Miriam, in case you needed any more suggestions!

Audrey (Hepburn)

My nan is called Audrey and it very much suits her and everyone shortens it to Aud but growing up, I did think it sounded old fashioned.

I like Esme but out of your list, I think Lois is the prettiest.

Thanks everyone. Honor is anothr contender, but I think Lois is pipping it for me today!

I love Audrey. It was nearly DD2's middle name but DP got his mother's name in there instead (Jane). Rubbish.

I was at school with a couple of girls called Lois so it just reminds me of them. Esme is nice but popular around here. Rita is cute actually.

Honor is fab!

Oooh I love Honor!

Audrey, Lois and Esme are great. LOVE Honor. I don't like Rita at all.

Lois is really pretty - love it
Esme and Rita are ok
Audrey is dreadful, sorry

Also love Honor. But Lois is my favourite

Lois is fab!

Dont like Esme (which is pretty popular) and Audrey and Rita are just too old lady-ish!

Not keen on Honour either, sorry.

Lois is great. The rest arent.

I think Lois is great- Dh vetoed it for DD :( it's 'refreshing' amongst all the usual suspects suggested on MN.
Audrey would be next on the list...then
Rita
Esme
Honor
How about Nina or Vivian?
