I've already posted another thread about compromise names and thought I would now put our first shortlist of girl's names out there to see what you all think. I'm sure they'll be plenty more shortlists to come at this rate!

Sally
Lily
Erin

I also like Lois but perhaps not enough to use it. I don't know if the above are of a similar style or not. Any other suggestions welcome.

Like Erin best of those on your list. Followed by Lily, though it's very popular at the moment although this may not bother you with Sally trailing last by a long way. I would say Erin and Lily are similar style but Sally is quite different.

Lily is by far the nicest :)

Sally is awful.
Lily is nice, but very popular.
Erin is ok, but again popular.
Lois is worse than Sally.

I like Sally best. Don't like Lois and Lily and Erin are fine

ArthurandGeorge · 17/05/2012 23:39

Lois
Sally
Erin
Lily

would be my order of preference but they are very different names imo. I think of Lois as quite grown-up and glam but Sally somehow a bit girlish and silly.

Found your list!

Erin is best, then Lois - Sally is quite a dull name in my generation - and agree with some of the others that Lily is getting very, very popular. Not that that means you can't use it, just it depends if you're happy that your DD might be one of 3 or 4 in her school year.

Lois is my favourite - very pretty
Erin also lovely

Don't like Sally and Lily is far too popular for me

FondleWithCare · 18/05/2012 08:36

Erin is my favourite followed by Lois then Lily then Sally.

revolutionconfirmed · 18/05/2012 08:42

Erin then Lily then Lois then Sally

curiousgeorgie · 18/05/2012 09:04

Erin is the best... Lily is the first or middle name of every other child round here...

Positiveplus · 18/05/2012 12:20

In order of preference:

Erin
Lois
Lily
Sally

Love Sally - on my list, fabulous!
Erin is horrid, so bland and boring.
Lily is sweet, but popular.
Lois is nice, but makes me think of Family Guy
