What are your thoughts/preferences? They are from my long list that has been whittled down by DH!
Thank you.

I really like Erin and Charlotte.

Onyabike · 08/08/2013 08:19

Charlotte would be my first choice, followed by Libby. I personally don't like Erin much, I find it quite a "hard" name, and not very feminine.

PrincessKitKat · 08/08/2013 08:22

Charlotte - beautiful name Smile

Leeds2 · 08/08/2013 09:51

Like all of them!

Would spell Erin like that, rather than Eryn.

MistressofPemberley · 08/08/2013 10:44

Thank you. Does is matter that Charlotte is very popular, do you think? Although I know far more baby Imogens, which was also on the previous list.

oh please not Imogen !!
Charlotte is a lovely name, and she can be Charlie or Lottie.
is Libby short for anything?
Erin is OK but not Eryn.

Erin

Charlotte is nice, but very popular. Erin is lovely and a little bit different. Libby is okay but sounds like a nickname without a longer version. I guess I would assume it was short for Olivia or Elizabeth.

KateCroydon · 08/08/2013 10:52

Libby short for Liberty?

badtime · 08/08/2013 11:05

My nerdy side wants to suggest Aeryn instead of Eryn - she was a character in Farscape. It was pronounced 'air-in'.

More seriously, I like Charlotte a lot more than your other choices.

formicadinosaur · 08/08/2013 11:33

Charlotte is lovely and has the nick name Lottie

Bakingtins · 08/08/2013 11:36

Charlotte - my favourite girls name but a friend has pinched it (and I have no girls but beside the point) Though it's supposedly popular I only know of 2.
I also like Libby but would have it as a NN for Elizabeth.

Leeds2 · 08/08/2013 11:41

I think Libby can be short for either Elizabeth or Liberty, or as a stand alone name in its own right.

BlueStarsAtNight · 08/08/2013 11:59

I like Charlotte and Erin a lot, not a fan of Libby (or Elizabeth!) at all though.

MistressofPemberley · 08/08/2013 12:01

I think Charlotte is my favourite. I quite like Lottie for a little girl's nn too.
Does it matter that one of my closest friends is called Charlotte? Is it inappropriate or flattering to give my baby the same name?

I realise Erin is popular in this country, but as an Irish person, it always strikes me as a strange thing to call a child (it's an anglicised version of Eireann, which is 'Ireland' in Irish), like calling her Sweden or Tanzania.

Also a popular brand of packet soup in Ireland! (Are there any Indians on here? Just wondering what they think of all the little girls called India...)

But if you do go with that, spell it Erin, the other way looks terribly whimsical and LOTR ish.

Charlotte is nice. I do like Libby, though it makes me think of 'libido' a bit, though that may say more about me than the name.

SonyaL80 · 08/08/2013 15:30

I like Charlotte the best, it is very pretty and can be shortened. Erin is a tiny bit harsh in comparison and agree with the people above ? Libby feels like it needs to be short for something.

  1. Erin
  2. Libby
