We've finally managed to get a short list for girls. What's your opinion on these:

Kaylee
Miranda
Emelia

Kaylee - not good
Miranda - nice
Emelia - not fond

Zsazsabinks · 06/02/2015 14:15

kaylee, really chavvy along the same lines as Kelly and Tracy/Stacey (sorry, brutal honesty is what I look for on here so giving the same!)

Miranda, OK.

Emilia, I think the best of the three.

Emilia

The other two are not great, sorry!

Miranda is a beautiful, timeless name.

Emelia will be misheard as Amelia which is massively popular right now.

Kaylee is not my cup of tea at all and so different from your other choices.

I like Kaylee. A girl I know is called Kalie which is also a nice spelling.
Miranda I'm not too keen on but not really sure why?
I like Emelia too. A nice twist to Amelia!

youngestisapyscho · 06/02/2015 14:18

Emilia is nice, I like Emmy/Emmie.

Sophronia · 06/02/2015 15:37

Kaylee - a bit 80s
Miranda - don't like nn Randy / Randi, although it would probably be unlikely to be shortened to that in the UK
Emelia - better as Emilia or Amelia

Nora42 · 06/02/2015 15:55

Thanks ladies! Kaylee is the only suggestion the other half has come up with that I will remotely even consider! lol

If baby turns out to be a boy we're in big trouble as there's not one boys name we can agree on!

For a boy, he could be Kay or Lee!

Guin1 · 07/02/2015 13:09

Miranda. By a long way.

hoobypickypicky · 07/02/2015 13:15

Miranda, by a country mile.
Kaylee is very "yooneek" and Emelia will forever be telling people that she's not Amelia. Miranda's a beautiful, classic name which is far more pleasing to the ear and which isn't over-used.

DilysDerwent · 08/02/2015 18:42

Miranda is lovely, Emelia is nice, Kaylee I'm not keen on.
I know a Katherine with the nn Kay, might your OH go for that?

Tea1Sugar · 13/02/2015 08:20

Emilia but I'm massively biased Wink

PrintScreen · 13/02/2015 08:25

Kaylee is awful
Others are fine

ch1134 · 13/02/2015 10:24

Miranda

Definitely not Kaylee.

Emilia sounds just like Amelia and they're everywhere.

I like Miranda.
