Could you give some opinions on these names? Maybe rate in order of preference. Thanks

I would have Layla but spelt Leila. Then Olivia then Poppy.

Olivia: classic but ubiquitous, love Libby or Liv as a nn
Layla: contemporary, quirky, prefer Eric Clapton spelling rather than Futurama
Poppy: I love flower names, love poppies, esp if summer baby, but it is for me an upper class name like Pippa, plus I do not want to share anything in common with Katie Hopkins, sorry ;-)

Layla: love and would be on my list
Olivia: same if if weren't my besties daughters name
Poppy: I don't hate this name just prefer the others

Agree with a pp that Layla is nicer spelled Leila

FuckedUpFanjo · 30/01/2016 09:50

I would pronounce Leila as Leela. Isn't futurama Leila pronounced Leela?

Anyway my favourite would be Layla, with Poppy and Olivia waaaaay down there, just too overused for my taste.

ashesandfire · 30/01/2016 13:06

Layla is my favourite but prefer it spelled Leila or Laila
I like Olivia but I know soooo many of them
Nothing wrong with poppy but don't really like it

Leila is a lovely (and proper) name; Layla, IMO, just isn't. Spelling makes a real difference.
I like Olivia, also Poppy, but they are so very of their time. They'd date her, in much the same way as Jane/Claire/Kate/Louise (all lovely names) dated my generation.

PooDogMillionaire · 30/01/2016 15:13

Layla, love

Poppy, nice name but quite popular

Olivia, really don't like, reminds me of olives (green, bitter, salty, oily & shiny) plus is incredibly popular

PooDogMillionaire · 30/01/2016 15:14

Also think Layla would be better spelt Leila

AtiaoftheJulii · 30/01/2016 15:16

Poppy
Layla (and I like that spelling)
Olivia (but I like Olive better)
