I like holly the best by far the nicest from your list .Olivia ok but I know so many it puts me off. Don't like the other two find them a bit fussy and try hard sorry .

Olivia Jane or Holly Jane
I even like Olivia Rose

Arabella and Genevieve aren't really my kind of names

I would definitely go for Genevieve. All the others are very popular apart from Arabella, which I find a bit princessy. Gen is a cool nn, as is Vee, but Evie would work too. My dds are never called the nn I planned for them, though, even by me!

Holly Jane. Not keen on the other first names, and Rose as a middle name is done to death.

You could have Olivia and call her Oli, sounds like Holly Grin

Holly is beautiful and also Olivia. They are popular for a reason... Arabella is just too fussy and Genevieve is just awful sorry... Similar to BabyStone, just not my kind of names.

Holly

Genevieve

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 30/07/2013 21:27

I really don't like Arabella

Rtfairy · 30/07/2013 21:44

Holly or Olivia are both lovely. The others are too frilly in my opinion.

kissmyheathenass · 30/07/2013 21:50

Holly is very lovely' Genevieve also lovely. Personally not so keen on others.

Holly is extremely 80s and twee IMO.

Genevieve is my MIL's name and I can't imagine it on anyone under 65! Here in France, it'd be like calling your daughter Joan or Barbara or Susan Hmm

Olivia is very pretty but extremely popular.If that doesn't bother you, I would choose that.

Arabella is very upper class sounding and like someone else said, a bit pantomime, but not awful...
