Sooooo tricky to choose!

[Ilovepercypigs3]

Expecting a girl, and really struggling to choose a name. I had boy names sorted but finding it too hard to narrow down the favourites! Here is our list:

Emma
Alice
Freya
Mia
Ava
Layla
Amelie
Isla

I think Amelie or Alice are top of the list at the moment. What do you think?

I like Emma best of the list.

I also like Mia and Ava but Emma is more timeless.

They are all nice although I am not keen on Isla personally. I had a long list of names but when my daughter was born she looked nothing like any of them and I chose a completely different name - one of which is on your list. See what she looks like when she is born and what goes best with the surname.

Emma!

Emma is lovely.
Not another Ava, Isla or Mia. Loads about. And Layla is really not nice.
How about Louisa, Erica, Alicia, Natalia, Melissa?

What's wrong with Layla? (am very offended!) Erica is horrid, very harsh

Emma is the only one not at ds's school.
But I prefer Available.

I like Emma.

Have you considered Flora or Lara.

Alice has worked extremely well for me

I also like Emma.

Available 😄

Thanks for the help- I do really like Emma in terms of it being timeless and same with Alice. I think Mia, Ava etc are a bit trendy for me really.
I think it should be a 21st century rule to write the name on a phone before confirming. My friend likes Orla and then realised it gets autocorrected to Oral!!

Emma is a lovely name, and , as others have said, there are very few around these days, so it will sound very fresh.

Alice also nice but slightly more popular

The others are all lovely-sounding names but seem rather "of the moment" and there are lots around.

Emma or Alice.

Alice or Freya

How about Clara?

I love Emma, Alice, Freya
Other suggestions. Anna, Lydia, Louisa, Eliza, Cora, Clara, Nina.

Alice is my favourite and I would totally use it if I was ever to have any more dc.

I like Freya too but that's probably because dd2's best friend is called Freya and she is the most adorable 4 year old.

Alice was the best. It is so chic and classic.

I really like Emma and Alice as they are classic. Also have only known lovely Emmas.

I give you Alyssa for consideration.

Alice and Emma are timeless and gorgeous.

Funny to see people mentioning Emma as being relatively unusual - there were 6 Emmas in my year at school! Of course, that was some time ago and a little Emma born this year probably wouldn't have that problem.

All your names are nice but I particularly like Ava and Alice. I'd also suggest Ada.

All lovely and very popular.

Alice
