Hi,
We are looking for a girls name, she will be a sister to Isabel and Dylan. These are the four names we can agree on, Maisie, Lily, Freya or Phoebe. but I'm still not sure. Any opinions welcome. Thanks.

Wait until she is born, and the decide

I like Lily and Maisie.

Phoebe is OK, but I don't like Freya.

Phoebe

lavendersun · 19/10/2015 13:13

I like Freya, not terribly fond of the others.

Sophronia · 19/10/2015 13:13

Freya

Freya

Freya.

BlueChampagne · 19/10/2015 13:52

Freya - unless she really looks like a Maisie, a Lily or a Phoebe!

Naicecuppatea · 19/10/2015 13:55

Freya for sure. I don't like Phoebe (too close to feeble). I prefer Freya to Lily and Maisie.

NoahVale · 19/10/2015 13:56

I like Maisie

CrumpetHead · 19/10/2015 13:57

They're all nice but there's too many Maisie's now, there are millions of Maisie's lately. I like Lily the most then Freya

welshHairs · 19/10/2015 14:03

I know of several Freya's and Lilys IRL but no Maisies. Hmm I'm not sure, Lily is my favourite of the bunch. I like Maisie but it feels like it should be short for something, if you know what I mean.

Oly5 · 19/10/2015 14:04

Freya then Phoebe

SweetSorrow · 19/10/2015 14:05

Totally outing myself but I have a Lily and a Phoebe (and an Isabelle). So I'd go for those.

Lunastarfish · 19/10/2015 14:29

Phoebe

MrsCaecilius · 19/10/2015 14:59

LOVE Phoebe. Too many of all the others in my neck of the woods.

Montsti · 19/10/2015 20:22

Not keen on Freya nor Phoebe. Lily is my favourite of your names but I prefer Poppy or even Daisy if you're going for flower names...

Sobbingmess · 19/10/2015 20:24

Phoebe, but then I have a Phoebe Grin.

RiverTam · 19/10/2015 20:28

Maisie, though tbh I don't really like any of them. Plus it's the only one where I don't know of one (apart from whatsherchops from Game of Thrones).

Ham69 · 19/10/2015 20:52

Order of preference;
Phoebe
Maisie
Lily
Freya

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 19/10/2015 20:54

Order of preference

Freya
Maisie

Phoebe

Have you thought if Flora or Kitty

applecatchers36 · 19/10/2015 21:12

Like Freya and Pheobe best

Lily nice but everywhere at the mo

Not a fan of Maisie

hollyisalovelyname · 19/10/2015 21:13

Freya

mrsschu · 19/10/2015 21:46

Lily is my favourite by a country mile. Yes it's popular at the moment but unlike other flower/popular names I can imagine a woman in her 30s, 50s and 80s being called Lily. Maisie sounds fine for a little girl and teenager but not so good for a professional woman in her 20s or 30s. Not keen on Phoebe at all, sounds very wishy washy. Freya is fine but they seem to be springing up all over the place at the moment. I think it will sound dated in 10 years time.
