Megan, Lydia, Lara, Bianca or Allegra??

[PandaWatch]

Opinions please!

And to pre-empt the usual criticisms...

1. I have known a Lydia since I was 8 and never heard her name rhymed with any STIs
2. Bianca to me is supermodel/humanitarian, Shakespearean characters, brave little Disney mice - not Eastenders characters
3. I don't even remember Austin Allegros so doubt it will be an issue for babies being born in the near future

TIA!

Megan, bland and overused.

Lydia, urgh. Brings to mind a 1950's housewife in a flowery tabard and rollers. Awful.

Lara. Pleasant.

Bianca. Riccckkkaaayyyy!

Allegra. A braying toff with horsey teeth and huge nostrils!

I have a Megan absolutely not Meg, she insists, so I might be a bit biased. Yes, it was in the top ten when she was born (1996), which I had no clue about until after the fact, but that doesn't change the reasons I chose it. Although there are 1001 spellings, which can get tedious.

I like Lara.
Allegra, unfortunately, makes me think of allergy medicine (I'm in the US, so that might not be an association in the UK.)
I do like Lydia, but it makes me think of Beetlejuice.
Bianca reminds me of the mother cat in the Aristocats, but she was a very nice cat.

Lara or Megan.

Megan is lovely and I adore Meg as a nn.

I love Lydia too because of Beetlejuice

Lara is to sing songy. I hate all the Lara, Lana, Alana type names, I much prefer Laura.

Allegra sound like a thing not a person.

Bianca I can't help but say this in a cockney accent, and my SIL had a hamster called this so it's a no from me.

Lydia, Lara then Allegra.
