We're down to 5

[NoCapes]

We're finally down to a reasonable amount of names on our shortlist
We're not looking to add any others to the list

We've got a while to decide yet (due January) so I'm not in any rush to find 'the one' just wanted to see which was people's favourites and if there's any glaringly obvious connections or connotations from these names that I'm missing?

The names are -
April
Emily
Erin
Harriet
Lydia

I think Lydia sounds harsh, sorry all of the Lydia lovers!

I love Erin and Emily - spelling Emilie could be an option?

April is nice and Harriet is okay with lots of great nickname potential

I absolutely love Lydia. Would be top of my list for impending arrival except that dh isn't keen.

April is also very sweet. And unusual.

You forgot Astrid on your list .

Lydia is lovely
April is a birth month name but still lovely
Emily is definitely overdone my DD has had Emily's in her class all through school in 3 different schools.
Erin ok
Harriet is Hattie and a lovely and not so commonplace name these days.

Lydia or April ❤️

They are all very pretty names but Lydia, would be my favourite but I can also picture a 3 year old Harriet.

Emily and Harriet are my favourite

LOVE Lydia and April.

Erin is very very cool.

Lydia - I see that it is a sweet name however when I was a teen it was (and I think still is) a nn for Chlamydia so that rules it out for me.
Harriet - love it and my favourite on your list- Hattie is a cute nn too.
April - indifferent about this one
Emily - Very common but a sweet name.
Erin - Second favourite to Harriet

Harriet
April
Erin

Don't like Emily or Lydia that much

have a Harriet - love it. Only is that now she's in secondary school she seems to have become Hazza to all her school mates which I'm not overly keen on!

I don't think a middle name starting with a vowel is a good idea? Harriet April might sound sweet now but what if she marries a Mr G? HAG?!

Lydia and erin also v nice

Harriet and Lydia

Erin
April
Harriet

Erin and Emily are v. Popular and so is Lydia. I'd go for Harriet.

April or Lydia. Love.

I don’t like Erin or Emily. Harriet reminds me of ‘harried’.
