Baby due in June. We don't know whether it's a boy or girl.

We have a boy already - Dylan Keane Leonard. Surname is one syllable beginning with T.

Baby will have 2 middle names, the second of which will be Mary after a family member.

Honest (but not brutal) opinions please!

Arianna
Amelie
Freya
Georgie (NOT Georgia/Georgina)
Imogen
Tavia
Tegan
Tierney

Imogen Mary.

NuffSaidSam · 13/03/2017 09:59

Tierney is awful. It's a surname and not one that sounds ok as a first name. Tavia is also dreadful, sounds like a brand of low-fat spread.

I don't like Arianna because it's too fussy. I don't like Tegan, it's just not my taste. Not keen on Imogen either.

Amelie is fine, but so overused.

Freya is ok.

I love Georgie. It was on my list, but hasn't been used yet because I can't bring myself to put Georgie on the birth certificate and I don't like Georgia enough.

Arianna -nice
Amelie - bland, been done to death.
Freya - love this, such a beautiful name imo
Georgie (NOT Georgia/Georgina) -really like
Imogen - okay
Tavia - not keen.
Tegan- I much prefer Megan and it seems quite dated, a bit 90s try hard.
Tierney - awful

I like Arianna and Imogen. Imogen Arianna Mary would sound lovely.

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 13/03/2017 11:28

Arianna: Lovely!
Amelie: Very popular and therefore quite boring
Freya: Great
Georgie (NOT Georgia/Georgina): I do like Georgina. Georgie is too nickname-y imo.
Imogen: I personally don't like it. But it is actually a very nice name
Tavia: ok
Tegan: no
Tierney: double no

I like Arianna and Freya. :)=

Loyly · 13/03/2017 11:31

I like Amelie, Freya and Imogen. I dislike the others.

ThoraGruntwhistle · 13/03/2017 12:27

I was going to say the exact same thing. Freya, Amelie and Imogen are lovely.

BaymaxismyHero · 13/03/2017 13:13

Freya is lovely

buckyou · 13/03/2017 13:19

What about Talia?

Sophronia · 13/03/2017 13:49

Freya

Smellofpaint · 13/03/2017 13:59

I don't like the T names. Never heard of Tavia or Tierney.

I like Imogen the most. I know a Georgie and Arianna and they are lovely names too.

Rockaby · 13/03/2017 14:36

I really like Freya and Imogen.

CakeRattleandRoll · 13/03/2017 16:33

I like Freya.

And Tegan, but only if pronounced with a short 'e' - the traditional Cornish spelling for this would be Tegen.

meettherussians · 13/03/2017 16:36

In all honesty- they are all too twee for my taste, sorry. But like Freya best.

ILikeSalmon · 13/03/2017 16:54

All lovely except for the ones beginning with T which are bloody horrible chavtastic

BackforGood · 13/03/2017 16:57

If it had to be one off the list, I'd go with Freya or Imogen, but not that keen on either of those.

Kazzawazza69 · 13/03/2017 19:22

I wondered what response I would get on Tavia. I found it in a baby names book - apparently a short form of Octavia. I must admit I haven't mentioned it to DH yet and he'll probably hate it but I really like it at the moment 😊

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 13/03/2017 19:26

I like Octavia and think Tavia is a very cute nickname :)

mum2be2boys · 14/03/2017 11:48

My favourites are Freya, Imogen and Amelie. Not keen on the others I'm afraid.

I'd avoid a T name if your surname also begins with a T, but that's purely personal taste.

oliversmummy26 · 14/03/2017 17:03

Arianna is top of our list at the moment (though we're spelling it Ariana and pronouncing "ari-ahna"...likely to shorten to Ari) and Freya is also high on our list, very pretty names

crapfatbanana · 14/03/2017 17:13

Georgie Elisabeth Mary

ButterflyOfFreedom · 14/03/2017 17:18

Freya - beautiful name!

Kazzawazza69 · 19/04/2017 21:11

Update - we are pretty much decided on Georgie as a first name and Mary as the second middle name.

Current fave is Georgie Arianna Mary. What do you think? Any other suggestions for the first middle name?

Like:

  • Freya
  • Imogen

Dislike:

  • Tavia
  • Tierney
  • Tegan

Arianna and Amelie are fine, but Amelie sounds awful when it's not said by someone French, IMO. And Arianna (I prefer the spelling Ariana) is so heavily associated with Ariana Grande at the moment that I'm a bit put off.

I like Georgie as a nickname, but not as a full name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/04/2017 21:51

Georgie Elizabeth Mary
Georgie Anabella Mary
Georgie Isobella Mary
Georgie Rosabelle Mary
