With only one week to go I just can't decide on a name for my baby girl and would appreciate any input I can get. So far my shortlist is looking like this;

Harriet
Verity
Ava
Caitlin
Millie

Would really appreciate some feedback or other suggestions for first names and middle names that go with the above. Thanks

She has an older brother - William Jack

Just been told today that Caitlin is very "Jeremy Kyle"......by a friend who works on the show!!!! Is this true? Don't pull any punches!

Hmm, wouldn't say Jeremy Kyle, but KateLynn does sound a bit mispronounced.

It doesn't have the same classic feel to some of your other names, in my opinion.

Verity, then Harriet. Millicent for Millie I prefer. Ava is bland.

I think it should be Verity or Ava. Millie is too similar to William (he is likely to end up as Will or possibly even Billy, so a bit too rhymy).
Harriet has the William and Harry issue and Caitlyn has the William and Kate issue. Verity and Ava both nice and "go" with William. Ava is one of those names that is percieved as very popular on here, but i think less so in real life. I know a lot more Harriets than Avas. Is it similar to Evie which is definitely popular though.I like Verity, although the length is such that people may want to shorten, but there is no obvious shotening. I know one Verity who has made it to age 13 without a shortening.
