Audrey is lovely!

FlaviaAlbia · 28/08/2017 18:43

Audrey.

Olivia is so common now and Layla makes me think of the song...

Audrey

Jenna251288 · 28/08/2017 18:47

Oooo, lots of Audrey love! That's great (I was worried about what people would think!)

Not Audrey.

TheDowagerCuntess · 28/08/2017 18:51

Definitely Audrey out of those three.

Dustbunny1900 · 28/08/2017 18:52

One vote for layla. There are just so many Audreys and Olivias already

Mammadragon · 28/08/2017 18:52

Audrey! (Biased though-its DDs middle name)

SummerRoberts · 28/08/2017 18:52

Audrey

TarquinGyrfalcon · 28/08/2017 18:54

Audrey

Wreckingball25 · 28/08/2017 18:55

Audrey! I only know one, she's a good mate. She's French and very cool Smile

eggsbenedict89 · 28/08/2017 18:55

Audrey, but the French spelling... Audrie (it's been on my list but won't be the one we're going for!) Xx

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/08/2017 19:03

Layla

TwoKidsAndCounting · 28/08/2017 19:03

Olivia definately. Audrey is another old revival, theres going to be a whole generation of school kids hating on their parents for giving them godawful old granny names. People of MN, cop on!

early30smum · 28/08/2017 19:11

Olivia or Layla

Turquoise0wl · 28/08/2017 19:12

@Dustbunny1900 - so many Audreys? Are you joking? Grin it isn't popular at all!

OP, my favourite is Olivia, but even I'm getting a bit bored of it. I like them all.

youarenotkiddingme · 28/08/2017 19:13

I love Audrey as it was my nans name.

But I'd go for Layla!

Souppppp · 28/08/2017 19:13

Enjoy her!!!

I have 3 boys. I love girls names.

I would say Layla is my favourite!!! What does she look like????? Xx

Alittlepotofrosie · 28/08/2017 19:13

Mumsnet would typically love audrey but everyone in real life will think of the woman off corrie. Olivia is nice.

n0ne · 28/08/2017 19:14

Love Audrey!

Imnotatypicalsausage · 28/08/2017 19:15

Very different three names there!

Olivia - extreme mainstream
Layla - very pretty pretty, very similar to loads of other girls names, slightly common (sorry)
Audrey - vintage, strong feminine name

I would choose Audrey personally

They're only old lady names to us, because we have the old lady association. Kids don't have that.

Names are cyclical, and come in and out of fashion. When enough little ones start getting called a name, it stops being 'old lady', and starts being fashionable.

See: Ruby, Lily, Daisy, Esmé, Isobel, Edie, Esther, Evie, et al.

Layla has too many spellings
Audrey is very old fashioned
Olivia is fine
