Leigh is so pretty and due a revival as a first name.

Congratulations!

halabana · 17/12/2016 03:12

Beatrice, Connie or Dayna are lovely...

Manumission · 17/12/2016 03:27

Scarlett is lovely, Charlotte is nice.

Megan, Millie and Beatrice are all pretty.

The rest are pretty much all either beige or horrendous.

(midsommer you are very naughty but that did make me snort.)

My favourite three (in order) would be:

  1. Lucy
  2. Emily
  3. Scarlet(t) - I prefer the spelling Scarlett because it removes the colour/scarlet woman association, and makes it more like Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind

Ones I'm neutral on:

  • Emma (prefer Emily, or just Emmy)
  • Millie
  • Macy
  • Holly (prefer Polly)

Ones I'm not keen on:

  • Brooke (outdated)
  • Leigh (outdated)
  • Leyci (prefer the spelling Lacey or Lacy - Leyci looks like "lakey")
  • Amy (outdated)
  • Alicia (outdated, and liable to being pronounced Aleesha)
  • Megan (outdated)
  • Annabelle (prefer the spelling Annabel, but this has always been too flowery/princessy/OTT for me, but I know I'm in the minority)
  • Fleur (sounds awful in my Australian accent)
  • Francesca (Fran and Franny are the likely nicknames and they're both awful - plus can't get past Catherine Tate's nan thinking that someone who named their baby Francesca actually named their baby "Tesco's")
  • Dayna (prefer the spelling Dana - I don't actually dislike this one, it's just a bit lacking compared with others on your list)
  • Demi (Moore or Lovato? Both annoying)
  • Kyria (not sure how to pronounce this)
  • Connie (objectively not a bad name, I've just never warmed to it)
  • Beatrice (sounds awful in my accent - two syllables: bee-triss, too close to beetroot)

Congrats! Flowers

Leyci (prefer the spelling Lacey or Lacy - Leyci looks like "lakey")

Oh is THAT what that says?!

My best guess was lay-chi Blush

Roodolf · 17/12/2016 04:27

I love Emily, Francesca, Megan and Lucy.

Dislike Brooke, Macy, Demi, Dayna, Leyci.

Congratulations! Flowers Enjoy your newborn snuggles!

Sorry, never deleted the original list. Reply is at the bottom! Congrats, OP Flowers

Bigfam · 17/12/2016 08:01

Connie.
We very nearly called our 2 week old that. Love it

Oysterbabe · 17/12/2016 12:13

Personally I'm not keen on Leyci Macy Dayna Demi and Kyria but all the others are nice.

Yep. Leyci is particularly terrible, is it just misspelled Lacy?
Annabelle would be my choice from the rest.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/12/2016 20:50

Emma or Holly.
Emmeline is nice too.
