Girls name... please help!!! Cari/Rita/Lucy

Afternoon!

Am due a little lady in 5 weeks time and we have been on the name Cari for a while (we are Welsh) but no one knows we are having a girl, so I can't get an opinion on it...

Other than that my husband likes Rita and we already have a Jude - so I quite like Lucy to go with a Beatles theme..

Middle name will be Willow - what do you think? Cari, Rita or Lucy?

Many thanks in advance!!!

Rita is an Aunties name but she was great so is due a comeback
I think it might have been a nn for Margarite/a - but also possibly Rita Hayward thinking of the age!

not sure it goes with Willow though although you could have Margarite Willow and use Rita as a nn????

Rita is vintage and cool.

When I was considering Lucy for DD1 with willow as MN funnily enough, people mentioned it sounded very like pussy willow, not sure if that puts you off.

DD2 is Lucie

Of the others I prefer Cari and seems to go nicer with Willow than Rita

Love Lucy . Dislike the other two.

Not Rita

Lucy is the best

Cari or Lucy are both lovely.

Rita is certainly vintage, but I don't think of it as cool. Just old fashioned and rather ugly.

Lucy spelt Lucie

bridgetreilly · 21/04/2017 23:32

Ceri, perhaps?

LanaDReye · 21/04/2017 23:37

Not Rita.

I've been accidently labelled Rita on a store discount card and whenever I explain that at a till the person serving and I have a laugh as it's such an old drunk aunt name.

IrregularCommentary · 21/04/2017 23:40

Prefer Cari or Lucy I think.

Joeybee · 21/04/2017 23:43

Lucy Willow is so sweet. I like Cari also, and sure that'd go down well in Wales. Not sure about Rita - it's a nice cutesy name, but it clashes a bit with Willow.
