5 names, which 1 would you go for?

[QueenMoon]

Bonnie
Dottie
Mattie
Harrie
Maddie

These will be the names on the BC.

We have a Hollie.

Thanks!

I like Bonnie.

The rest feel like nicknames (Maddie=Madeleine, Dottie = Dorothy, Mattie = Matilda)

Harrie is awful.

Bonnie is the only one that is a proper name but it's hideous for a person , OK for dogs and ponies . Can you not find another proper name even if you change to an 'ie' spelling like
Daisie
Carlie
Kylie

Mattie sounds like a boy, really sorry.

I like the name Bonnie but I am not sure Hollie and Bonnie sound great together... if that matters?

Harrie really sounds like a boy.

Maddie is nice, I know kids called just Maddie, doesn't really raise any eyebrows. Tha's prob the best bet :)

Carrie?

I'd use something with a full name on the birth certificate though, as these are all nicknames, apart from Bonnie.

I'm not keen on any of them TBH, sorry!

I know a couple of people called Holly, and one called Hollie. Their sisters are called Megan, Amy, Georgina and Laura.

Ooh, Carrie is nice!

I guess Maddie, any reason why Holly was spelt incorrectly?

Marnie

Cassie?

Amie?

Hollie is a known way of spelling the name, I know someone else in their thirties with the same spelling.

Also know of a male Holley!

Maddie

I really, really like Mattie. I would be inclined to give a more grown up name, though, because your child will not be a child forever. Hollie is a grown up name as well as prettie (couldn't resist). If you don't like Matilda how about Mathilde?

Or, if you really like the ie ending, how about Marie?

Like Bonnie and Maddie- know some personally.

If the ending needs to rhyme with Hollie, what about:
Maisie
Cassie
Sadie

Definitely Bonnie. Lovely standalone name where the others sound like there should be a longer version. Also Hollie & Harrie = sickly sweet. Also, as a Harry myself, I can't get my head around that spelling!

There's a Hollie in one of the Noel Streatfeild books, written in the late 30s or early 40s. It's not that new a spelling.

Bonnie

None of them sorry

None of those, sorry.
When is baby due? If she's a Christmas baby, Noelle would be quite nice
Or Rowan? Nice for a girl

Sylvie is pretty too. Means 'of the forest', I think.
I only know of three Bonnies (the Langford, Tyler and the other half of Clyde): the first two very irritating, the last is a criminal.

Maddie.

Marnie's nice, as a pp has said

Maddie or Mattie, if I had to choose.
