Honest opinions on our girls shortlist.

[swimmerforlife]

Still very early days (not due until March!) but it's going to take forever for us to decide so we may as well start now, thank goodness boys names are sorted. DS is Samuel.

What are your thoughts on:
Victoria
Megan
Abigail
Alexis
Madeline
Paige
Savannah
Sian

Abigail was our frontrunner with DS but I have fallen in love with Victoria. Suggestions welcome, but no 'granny chick' names or anything too out there.

[GotTheKey]

Really don't like Paige.

Don't like shortened versions of Victoria, Megan abs Abigail.

Alexis is lovely x

[girliefriend]

I like Abigail and Megan, not that keen on the rest if I'm honest.

Abigail would be my favourite nn Abi

[sweetpeame]

Victoria, Megan, Abigail and Madeline (sp?) are all nice names. Alexis and Sian are ok, not my taste. Paige is absolutely dreadful, super American and try hard. Savannah is also awful. Both names sound silly IMO.

Sian

[TinyManticore]

Love Victoria, was put off using it due to surname starting with D.
Louisa and Madeleine are my other favourites from your list.

[PallasCat]

Alexis, Paige or Sian are my favourites.

[manicinsomniac]

Victoria - quite like it. Very elegant. Dislike Vicky
Megan - nice, solid name.
Abigail - love it. My sister is an Abigail and I used to be rather jealous.
Alexis - love it. Was on my shortlist all 3 times.
Madeline - really like it. For some reason I prefer the spelling Madeleine
Paige - it's ok
Savannah - love it. I have one. I hope people don't fail to take her seriously as an adult. Though at the moment she'll only consider dance as a career option so maybe it will suit her!
Sian - really like it. And never met a young one.

[ashesandfire]

Love Madeleine and Louisa.
Victoria, Megan, Abigail, Sian- i feel a bit 'meh' about all of these. I dont like any of the nicknames for Victoria.
Paige, Savannah - really dislike.
Alexis - I like this, I think it is quite a cool, strong name - maybe quite hard to pull off? Doesn't sit well with Samuel IMO. Alexa or Alexandra are a little softer?

[SoupDragon]

I prefer Alexa/Alexia to Alexis.

Glad you've discarded Paige - that and Savannah see, at odds with the other choices.

[MadameJosephine]

Not keen on any of your original list but love Louisa.

[Enchufla]

You can shorten Victoria to Tori, Tor, Ria or Toria

[CrispyFern]

My favourite is Paige but you've crossed it off. :(

[curlii103]

I love paige and madeline. really really dislike vicky and my concern would be her friends might do it or god forbid she might grow up and choose it. Victoria and tori are okay if it can enforced!

[Boo789]

Victoria-like it maybe tori for nickname
Megan-hate it sorry
Abigail-like it but prefer abbey
Alexis-like it but I love a Alexa
Madeline-hate it sorry
Paige-love it but it will date badly I think
savannah-love it
Sian-um not reallu

[BeautifulBatman]

Madeleine. No to the rest.

[bishboschone]

Tori is a better nickname for Victoria .

[StupidBloodyKindle]

Luisa is beautiful

[afink]

I like Abigail or Victoria. Both classic but under used these days

[BothEndsBurning]

Oh, you've added Louisa. Yes, I like that.

[BothEndsBurning]

I love:
Victoria
Madeline
Alexis Alexandra

I don't particularly like:
Sian
Abigail
Savannah
(in order of preference)

I strongly dislike:
Megan
Paige

[Sophronia]

I like Victoria, Abigail and Louisa. Not keen on the rest.

[swimmerforlife]

*we want

[swimmerforlife]

Thank you all for all your suggestions! I really like Louisa, mum's middle name is Louise so thats defiantly will be on the shortlist.

I think we'll cross off Paige and Sian, I was never mad keen on either, Paige was DH favourite and we won't easy names to pronounce.

I don't particularly like Vicky but it wouldn't stop me using Victoria, yes I love Tori as a nn as well.

Glad to hear Alexis and Abigail are getting a good reception. I hear what people are saying about Savannah, I really love it, though it is very American.

[Micah]

I like Victoria with Tori as a nn :)

[Kikimoon]

Love Victoria.

[halfwildlingwoman]

They are all lovely except Paige, which is really ugly. It's not like a name at all.
