I know about 50 million freyas so although it is a lovely name, i'd say a definite no to that one. Ditto Sophia and Emilia (but not as much). I'd go for Eva or Bella. Eva's really classy and Bella's really feminine.

Sophronia · 24/06/2016 00:01

They're all very popular. I like Sophia best.

DramaAlpaca · 24/06/2016 00:03

My favourite is Emilia.

I also like Eva. It's timeless & classic.

CourtJester · 24/06/2016 13:31

I'm an Emilia vote too!

I'm the opposite of Betty i have heard of a million Eva's and Bella's, but not many/any Freya's or Emilia's

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 24/06/2016 13:33

Eva.

I like Bella too, but I know 4 dogs with the name.

PaintedDrivesAndPolishedGrass · 24/06/2016 13:39

Freya but I'd spell it Freyja
Emilia

Definitely not Eva, that was a relatives name and she was anything but classy.

FeelingDumb · 24/06/2016 13:44

I have an Emilia and a Freya. They are the only ones in their school as far as I know. We are in the north west.

Emilia, I looked after a gorgeous little girl called Emilia once and the name just makes me smile.

notagiraffe · 24/06/2016 13:49

Sophia is my all time favourite girls' name. very popular but that wouldn't put me off. Like Freya next best, then Emilia and Eva equally.

septembersunshine · 24/06/2016 19:55

I used to love Eva but now when I say it I can only here the word 'Either'. Just me I'm sure!

Emilia is lovely and you can have Milly as a nickname or Emmy - both really sweet. Sophia is very pretty and has a kind of grandness about it.

Not keen on Freya and Bella sounds like half a name. Like the nickname of Isabella or Gabriella (although that is just the Ella sound). I think Bella would make a lovely middle name though... but it is just that. Plus is it also an adults name? I think your other choices will carry a little girl though her life better. She might feel Bella is a bit cutesy one day.

scoobysu · 24/06/2016 21:42

Thanks everyone. Emilia seems to be the front runner - which my DH is very happy about (it was his favourite)!

For a middle name do you think either of these work?

Emilia Ruby
Emilia Poppy

Congratulations on your soon to be dd.
I'm about to be a great-aunt. Beyond excited.
All the names you have chosen are gorgeous - particularly love Freya.

Holly1987 · 26/06/2016 17:01

Emilia has been my favourite future baby name for years! And now i'm pregnant my other half has decided he hates it :( Gutted.

LadyAntonella · 26/06/2016 19:29

Eva is lovely and my favourite by far Smile. My least favourite is Bella.

cecilelliott · 26/06/2016 19:56

Another one for Eva

cosmicglittergirl · 26/06/2016 20:03

Freya.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 27/06/2016 05:09
