I'm fine saying that we've settled on a name because me being my indecisive self, keep coming up with more names!

I like all these names, as does my fiance, so please help me choose!

Cora
Hailey
River
Ivy
Clara
Hallie
Amelia
Kylie (nothing to do with Kardashians/Jen)
Elora (El-OR-ah)

My favourites now are River and Amelia, though I know Amelia seems to be quite popular at the moment. Not really an issue though. I would love feedback on some or all if these names. Whatever is easiest maybe rank them? Or just tell me your favourite(s). Thank you :)

Clara hands down. I love the name. If I ever have another dad, she will be a Clara.

River and Ivy I quite like.

Amelia I really don’t.

The others are all nice but don’t stand out for me.

Another dd, not dad!! 🤣

Love Amelia

Lmj25 · 12/05/2018 18:08

Love river

Alpacages · 12/05/2018 18:10

River is nice but probably more thought of as a boys name.
I love Hallie.

Soubriquet · 12/05/2018 18:12

I prefer Amelie to Amelia but it's a nice name anyway

I love Ivy. Would would to use that for my next if I ever had one.

Hallie is cute.

Not keen on Cora, Kylie or Clara

I like River and Haliey is ok.

It's your personal choice of course

Echobelly · 12/05/2018 18:12

I like Cora and River most of that list.

Amelia is pretty popular, but it is nice.

blinkowl · 12/05/2018 18:12

Cora
Elora

Menime · 12/05/2018 18:13

Amelia River is a lovely combo.

I love Hailey.

I like Cora & Clara. Clara might just just take the edge as it doesn't sound at harsh to me.

Yes Doctor Who fan but I completely forgot about Amelia being in doctor who, I just think of her as Amy.

I actually like River from firefly. Just a coincidence that they're all doctor who names :)

River or Clara.

daisypond · 12/05/2018 18:24

Cora, Clara and Amelia are very nice. Apparently, Amelia is quite common, but I actually don't know any. Not so keen on the others.

Cosmoa · 12/05/2018 18:24

I love River Amelia Smile

I love River from Firefly but I prefer Kaylee Grin

I did know a Kayleigh once. One of those fake nice people. I mean she wasn't "mean" per se but not that nice to me. Kind of an arsehole tbh.
