Baby names for a girl

Hello all I need some help! Just found out Im having a baby girl. This is my first baby and I'm absolutely thrilled she is a girl but picking a name has been hard! At the moment I have 3 names on the list but I'm not sure and some honest opinions would be appreciated! At the moment I like Isobel, Phoebe and Audrey. My concern is that I'm worried Isobel and Phoebe may be too popular, while Audrey may be too old fashioned...Help! Any suggestions will be greatly received! Thanks!

I really like all of them Grin - no help. I think Phoebe may be my favourite but then maybe Audrey.

I like all your name choices. I'm going to suggest the Nameberry website to you, as there are like-name suggestions, popularity rankings, name meanings, etc.

Here's a link to Audrey to start you off ;)

Congratulations, too Thanks

I don't think Phoebe is overly used at the moment OP.

Love the idea of a little Audrey though Smile

There are so many Isobels, if you take into account the variant spellings. Which is a shame really, the Isobel spelling is by far lovelier than the others.

The other spellings! Not your other names. I'm not having an articulate day Blush

I love Isobel. Phoebe is nice enough but I really don't like Audrey.

I'm not sure what else to suggest because I can't think of a 'type' that those three names all fit into. I guess:

Similar to Isobel:
Annabel, Christabel, Belle, Ishbel, Isadora, Isolde, Isola, Anna, Beatrice, Charlotte, Carys, Eleanor, Florence, Georgina, Harriet, Hope, Imogen, Juliet, Julia, Kathryn, Liliana, Matilda, Miranda, Nadia, Olivia, Philippa, Rebecca, Sophia, Sarah, Verity

Similar to Phoebe:
Pippa, Hannah, Amy, Lucy, Sophie, Chloe, Zoe, Polly, Paige, Abbie, Brooke, Darcey, Emily, Erin, Freya, Georgia, Holly, Heidi, Katie, Leah, Melanie, Natalie, Nicole, Bethany

Similar to Audrey:
Agatha, Agnes, Andrea, Alice, Bertha, Doris, Deirdre, Dorcas, Eunice, Elsie, Edna, Gloria, Honor, Ida, Maude, Mildred, Nora, Olive, Pearl, Ruby, Rita, Shirley, Sylvia, Ursula, Wendy.
