I'm having a little girl. My son is called Emmett Levi. Any future sons will be Hayden Oscar. I would like opinions on Miranda, Leila or Beatrice. In case you wanted to know, my middle names would be Miranda Polly, Leila Isabel or Beatrice Lucy. But my husband would choose, Miranda Nell, Leila Faith or Beatrice Natalie. But I'd rather you said whether you preferred Miranda, Leila or Beatrice so I can count the votes up. Thank you very much Smile.

No surprise which of those is my favourite (even though it's not my real name)!

Miranda... it's a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning; it's just unfortunate that I've only ever known four women by that name and they were all awful. And awful in similar ways: arrogant, superior, egotistical, attention-seeking, snobbish.

I'm not a fan of the name Leila. Pretty, but I can't quite get away from the song (albeit a different spelling).

Miranda
Leila
Beatrice

I don't like Beatrice. Sad

Rainbowqueeen · 28/02/2017 01:43

Miranda, classic, easy to spell and not very common

RuthB4 · 28/02/2017 02:57

Miranda but they're all lovely!

Beatrice! I have one Smile

In order:

Miranda
Beatrice
Leila

PageStillNotFound404 · 02/03/2017 01:43

Miranda, followed by Beatrice. Don't like Leila at all, I''m afraid.

Although I like Rosalind, as suggested by a PP, even more than Miranda.

UptownFlunk · 02/03/2017 01:48

Miranda by miles.

WaitrosePigeon · 02/03/2017 07:46

Miranda reminds me of that knobhead on TV. It's a frumpy name.

I love Beatrice.

Joeybee · 02/03/2017 07:55

Miranda is a lovely name, and I feel it goes well with your sons name, and future sons name. Leila is also really nice too. I love the name Beatrice, but for me that name is becoming a bit too trendy and popular, which puts me off it. You have awesome choices in names, really any of those three names go very well. Miranda would be my fave though.

Crunchymum · 02/03/2017 21:58

Loathe the name Beatrice. Sorry. I think my vote goes to Miranda

YorkieDorkie · 02/03/2017 21:59

I have a Beatrice and she suits every inch of that name 💗

Verbena87 · 07/03/2017 06:43

I like Beatrice.

I struggle with pronouncing Leila (I've taught several; lee-la, lie-la and lay-la. Now I get in a pickle when I see it written down as I'm never sure how it's said.)

FfionFlorist · 07/03/2017 10:33

Miranda by a country mile, don't really like the others very much
