Middle name will probably be Mabel or Florence...

Just found out I'm pregnant but had names picked for years!

Congratulations!
I'd say alice but obviously not with Florence :)

Polly

VioletCharlotte · 14/02/2018 17:32

I like all these names, but Polly is my favourite.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Clara

BevBrook · 14/02/2018 17:34

Emily would be my favourite, then Polly.

Emily

squoosh · 14/02/2018 17:36

Polly or Clara.

Then Alice.

I'm not into Emily at all.

Alice

I love all four of your first name choices.
With your middle name options my favourite combos are:

Emily Florence
Clara Florence
Alice Mabel
Polly Mabel

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/02/2018 17:58

Clara Mabel
Would you not consider Mabel as a first name

Sophronia · 14/02/2018 18:05

Alice Mabel

Sophronia · 14/02/2018 18:06

And congrats!Smile

Polly

nevergooglenevergoogle · 14/02/2018 18:08

Clara is lovely until you hear it in a glasgow accent.
Alice and Emily a bit meh.
Love Polly.

AnyaMoondial · 14/02/2018 18:28

Polly. Oh my goodness I'm so jealous, I wanted to use Polly so much but was vetoed.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/02/2018 18:44

Yes accents and pns do come into. My names Clare which I despise, but I hate it even more when it's pn Cliiiire or CluuuurrAngry

17caterpillars1mouse · 14/02/2018 18:47

Clara or Polly
I really like Emily but it's so popular. Maybe as a mn?

MikeUniformMike · 14/02/2018 19:11

Polly or Alice.
Emily is overused and Clara is not very nice.
Mabel goes with Polly or Alice, Florence doesn't.

Would you not consider Mabel as a first name

Hopefully not!
