We can't choose between:

Polly, Alice, Mabel and Clara.

I think I've fallen a little bit in love with Polly. So it's a very strong contender as you don't hear it very often either.

Polly.

Sophronia · 29/04/2018 12:19

Alice

Justfred · 29/04/2018 12:19

I like Clara best.

ooobisto · 29/04/2018 12:22

Polly

imsorryiasked · 29/04/2018 12:24

Polly is lovely. I only know one and she's in her 50's

Naberes · 29/04/2018 12:31

Polly!

LeonoraFlorence · 29/04/2018 12:37

Alice or Clara

FusRoDah · 29/04/2018 12:42

I like Alice best although it's very popular at the moment.

To me Polly is one of those names that is cute on 0-6 year olds but not so good for an adult. Could you put a longer name on the birth certificate and uae Polly as her day to day name? Just gives her options when she's older.

Mabel.

MillicentF · 29/04/2018 12:42

Imagine her a 35 year old woman. What name suits her best?

LadyWithLapdog · 29/04/2018 12:43

Alice and Clara.

flowermug2 · 29/04/2018 12:44

Alice or Clara :)

popcorneveryminute · 29/04/2018 12:44

Clara

chezmk1988 · 29/04/2018 12:45

Alice

MillicentF · 29/04/2018 12:45

Or Clare rather than Clara? Less fussy and less common.

tinykirst · 29/04/2018 12:47

Polly and Clara are lovely names!

And Polly can be used on an adult as well.. hasn't anyone seen peaky blinders 😂

IAmMatty · 29/04/2018 12:47

Alice.

Polly is cute for a little one but maybe not for an adult.

Mabel is terrible.

Clara is meh.

Alice is lovely Smile

Will the wee one have a middle name?

Say the name followed by that (if she will have one) and your surname = can it be corrupted or made fun of?

Personally I like Polly 😍

Pandoraphile · 29/04/2018 12:55

I have an Alice and there was no competition when she was born. It was only ever Alice. Incidentally, she's Alice Mabel :)

BUT - I just adore Polly. Such a sweet, unusual name which is equally good from baby to adult.

elefunk · 29/04/2018 12:56

Polly is wonderful on an adult!
I know two, aged 26 and 60 both amazing and very talented ladies!

DramaAlpaca · 29/04/2018 12:57

My own favourite is Alice.

fleshmarketclose · 29/04/2018 13:00

I like all those names but Polly would be my favourite.

Lifeaback · 29/04/2018 13:04

I like Clara the best, with Alice as a close second. Not a fan of polly and Mabel is okay but getting very popular where I live so that's tainted my view a little

HollyBen · 29/04/2018 13:11

Polly or Alice. I am not keen on the other 2

RavenWings · 29/04/2018 13:21

Alice or Clara for me. Probably Alice of the two.

I'm not a fan of Polly, reminds me of parrots and it's a bit wet and childish imo.
