Due any day, but having lots of name wobbles.
Sibling is Felix. Surname is v common (hence not wanting a really really popular name).

So what do you think?

Polly
Juliet
Louisa
Lara
Lois

Please be honest! (And feel free to throw in any other suggestions too!)
Thank you!

I like Polly best. Not keen on Lois and the others are ok.

Wishfulmakeupping · 10/06/2014 13:24

Juliet is the nicest, I like Polly the others are just ok

Love Louisa and Juliet. Polly & Lara - meh. Don't like Lois at all.
Between Louisa and Lara, I vote Louisa by a long shot

PandaBear30 · 10/06/2014 15:16

Felix & Polly sound great together.

Also like Lara & Louisa. Not so keen on Lois.

My favourite is Lara and also like Juliet.

Are you me? We like all the same names!

we would have had a Lara had DC been a girl. I like Louisa too. I was going to suggest Marianne. I also considered Honor, Clara and Fay. The only one I don't like on your list is Polly.

Love Louisa and think Juliet is really pretty too. Good luck and congrats in advance x

Thanks for your honesty re. Felix. I have been calling out names in the park (well, in my head but pretending to be at the park!) and it's a good test for names. Boys' names are so hard!

Louisa is lovely, as is Lara, so I think you're on to a winner either way.

I don't love Polly, but you could go all old-school and name her Mary with Polly as a nickname.

Personally I like Juliet and Lara (Larissa) better.

TheCharWoman · 11/06/2014 21:20

Yay Panda that's what I think too, but no-one seems to agree!

Bassington that's really strange, especially as DH suddenly suggested Clara yesterday out of nowhere. Can I be nosey and ask what you went for for your DS in the end? (Still don't know if this little kicker is a boy or a girl!)

Felix and Juliet
Felix and Polly
Those sound so good together!

Louisa is pretty, but I don't like the double s sound with Felix. Lara feels a bit plain. Lois, I do not like.

WhereHas1999DissappearedToo · 12/06/2014 05:44

Louisa is lovely.

jaggythistle · 12/06/2014 05:54

My order of preference would be

Lois
Juliet
Lara
Louisa
Polly
