Having a hard time trying to choose one for DD middle name will be Poppy or Serena probably Lucy Serena, Lara Poppy. Which do you prefer?

Lara, by miles.

userabcname · 05/12/2017 09:18

I really like Serena - would you consider that for a first name? Otherwise I think I prefer Lucy.

minipie · 05/12/2017 09:26

Lucy Serena is lovely

Neolara · 05/12/2017 09:27

Lara.

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/12/2017 09:31

Love both but slightly prefer Lara

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/12/2017 10:07

It's Lucy for me.

toughgetsgoing · 05/12/2017 10:45

Not particularly fond of the tomb raider, do you think that's an issue?
Mini, we really like Serena but as a mn for Lucy.

Love Lucy Serena

Makesmilingyourbesthobby · 05/12/2017 11:00

Lucy & lara are both lovely but Lucy serena got a nicer ring to it than Lara poppy for me

DiegoMadonna · 05/12/2017 11:03

Regardless of middle name, I prefer Lucy.

Curiousgeorgey · 05/12/2017 11:06

I prefer lucy, I considered both lara and lucy for dd and decided on lucy.

yasmin05 · 05/12/2017 11:12

Lucy is better in my own opinion. Lara is also good but it should have a middle name.

Callamia · 05/12/2017 11:14

Lara.
It’s the sort of name that makes me think of a smart capable girl. I wanted to use it, but I have boys instead.

My vote is for Lara!

TonicAndTonic · 05/12/2017 11:39

Lara is lovely. For me Lucy is a bit twee, but not awful.

Laska5772 · 05/12/2017 11:42

Not your request for a choice but have you thought of Lucille rather than Lucy ?

ElfrideSwancourt · 05/12/2017 12:03

Lara is a bit 80s, but maybe I'm biased because I have a Lucy:)

HuskyMcClusky · 05/12/2017 12:09

Lucy Serena

Lara is mega-80s, like Tara or Lauren. I don’t like it at all.

AnyaMoondial · 05/12/2017 12:18

Lucy Serena is beautiful.

LordSugarWillSeeYouNow · 05/12/2017 12:22

I have a Lucy too :)

I prefer Lucy. It seems quite unusual at the moment (in a good way). Lara seems too much like a lot of other names (Lola, Lyra etc.)

MammieBear · 05/12/2017 13:49

Lucy Serene, Lucy means light and the second name seems to resemble calmness to me.
