All lovely names good luck with your choice

sonyaya · 23/02/2017 23:02

All lovely - Georgia is my favourite

Loyly · 23/02/2017 23:03

From your list I prefer Penelope.

ScarletSienna · 23/02/2017 23:06

All nice apart from Amber and Gracie is sweet but prefer Grace as it sounds less like a nn

BillyButtfuck · 23/02/2017 23:08

I've always wanted a little girl named Penelope (Pea, Penny, Nelly).
Congratulations Flowers

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/02/2017 23:12

Love Harriet first, then Amber.

Scrumptiousbears · 23/02/2017 23:19

Amber

CakeRattleandRoll · 23/02/2017 23:20

Penelope

PancakesAndMapleSyrup · 23/02/2017 23:23

In order of preference, Penelope, olivia, aria and georgia. I not keen on the others but thats just me!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/02/2017 23:26

I love Georgia and Olivia. I like Grace, but not Gracie

Joinourclub · 23/02/2017 23:28

Grace would be my favourite rather than Gracie. Otherwise Hariet.

HearTheThunderRoar · 23/02/2017 23:35

Gracie definitely it's my 17yo dd's name

I also love Harriet.

joannegrady90 · 23/02/2017 23:38

They're all nice names but to be picky:

Grace/Gracie - a little too common now and doesn't sound right on a teenager if that makes sense.

Aria and Olivia - Same as above there will probably be lots at school etc.

Georgia is probably my fave.

The rest are OK but a bit bland and trying to be different.

Babymamamama · 23/02/2017 23:44

Love love love Georgia.

Sophronia · 24/02/2017 00:02

Harriet!

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 24/02/2017 02:56

I love Harriet

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 24/02/2017 02:56

I love Harriet

ScarlettFreestone · 24/02/2017 03:04

Depends on your surname really but just on what you have posted: Georgia.

SuperBeagle · 24/02/2017 04:23

In order of preference:

  1. Georgia
  2. Penelope
  3. Amber
  4. Olivia - Lovely name, but done to death. Olive is lovely and a bit less popular/more quirky.
  5. Gracie - If this was Grace, it'd be my second choice. But Gracie is too nicknamey for my liking.
  6. Aria - Dislike. Very trendy, and will remind everyone of either Pretty Little Liars or Game of Thrones. Will date terribly.
  7. Harriet - Love Hattie, hate Harriet.
fuckoffdailysnail · 24/02/2017 04:58

I've got a Penelope, get complimented on it all the time

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 24/02/2017 05:41

Harriet.

Aria is too popular.

Sapphireshadow · 24/02/2017 07:25

Love Amber. Also like Aria and Harriet. Prefer Grace to Gracie, Gracie seems too much like a nn.

crapfatbanana · 24/02/2017 09:44

Gracie - love
Penelope - love
Harriet - like very much

The rest I'm not fussed about.

EggsEleven · 24/02/2017 09:46

My favourite is Harriet. Followed by Amber and Penelope in that order

I don't like any of the others especially Aria.

Looks like Penelope, Georgia and Harriet are the favourites. I've spoken to DH and we're happy to whittle it down to that. Now to decide which one Confused we would like one middle name so maybe we could use two of the three names here?

Maybe Harriet Georgia or Georgia Penelope?
