All girls names we like seem to be ruled out by having already been used in our gigantic family. Our other DD is Alice.

I like Orla.
My DH likes Miranda best.
Lucy is our compromise name.

What do you think? Running out of time...

Miranda then Lucy

Orla as a middle name

Littlecherublegs · 29/10/2013 13:58

I like Orla as a name best but actually think Lucy goes best with Alice.

How about Lucy Orla Miranda???!

Idespair · 29/10/2013 13:59

Lucy and Alice go well together.

Allalonenow · 29/10/2013 13:59

Miranda is beautiful.
Lucy is pretty.

Thurlow · 29/10/2013 14:02

Orla.

UriGHOULer · 29/10/2013 14:16

Lucy.

SpottedDickandCustard · 29/10/2013 14:17

Miranda. Love it!

NadiaWadia · 29/10/2013 14:26

Miranda and Lucy are both lovely names. I don't like Orla particularly, if you want an Irish name there are much prettier ones like, say, Saoirse.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 29/10/2013 14:37

I like Orla best but agree that Lucy goes better with Alice. How about Lucy Orla?

isitme1 · 29/10/2013 14:42

bundaberg · 29/10/2013 14:42

Miranda

Charotte31 · 29/10/2013 14:43

Orla

cavell · 29/10/2013 14:49

I like all of your names. I think Lucy sounds best.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 29/10/2013 14:52

I like Lucy best.

elcranko · 29/10/2013 15:42

Orla.

grizzabellia · 29/10/2013 16:03

Orla. Lucy is a bit dull. Miranda is just too frilly!

Saminthemiddle · 29/10/2013 16:05

Orla

Saminthemiddle · 29/10/2013 16:05

Orla, then Lucy, I think Miranda will date.

FixItUpChappie · 29/10/2013 16:28

I've always been very fond of the name Miranda. Orla would be my second choice.

williaminajetfighter · 29/10/2013 16:30

Orla lovely. Ditto Miranda. Lucy is a bit dullsville.

squoosh · 29/10/2013 17:09

Lucy - very pretty
Orla - a bit boring
Miranda - don't like this at all

LynetteScavo · 29/10/2013 17:12

I would go for Miranda.

A friend of mine has a DD called Orla...I always kick myself I didn't think of it first.

Lucy....a bit too close to loo seat for me.

ScoutJemAndBoooooooooooo · 30/10/2013 07:10

Orla, it is beautiful.

Miranda reminds me too much of the gormless sitcom character.

swoopyswoop · 30/10/2013 07:21

All lovely! Not helpful... Maybe just narrow it down to two (Orla and Miranda?) and see what she looks like?

Those two names have quite different feels imo you may feel one suits her much better than the other. Then the other could be a middle name?

Orla Miranda is beautiful :)

Willabywallaby · 30/10/2013 07:26

I like Orla more than Lucy, but really dislike Miranda HTH
