I have never liked Freya...it sort of sounds sickly to me.

Mila (Mee-ya?) as in Mila Kunis... I love it!

Orla is pretty, (my phone just autocorrected it to oral, but that’s not a reason to not choose it!!😂) but there’s something about it that stops me loving it.

Holly is boring and, like Sienna, to me, a bit tacky....too many Page 3 girls with these names when P3 was a thing...

Probably Orla.

I really like Mila

Freya would be my second choice of those names

I’m not really a fan of Sienna or Orla

Freya,
Orla sounds like oral. Milo sounds like a tv character.
Fay might be an idea.

I prefer Orla

Stringofpearls · 07/07/2018 04:23

Orla is very pretty, Mila sounds medical to me for some reason I can't quite work out and I find Freya a bit of a weak name. Holly is also nice.

Thanks all

Mila: lovely!
Orla: also very nice.
Freya: a bit boring but nice.
Holly: cute for a Christmas baby.
Sienna: nice.
Ella: incredibly boring and a bit wet.

Like Freya but Mila would constantly be telling people how to pronounce/spell her name

RavenWings · 09/07/2018 00:03

Mila - the my-la/mee-la thing would put me off
Orla - lovely
Freya - no
Holly - nice
Sienna - lovely. Depends on the surname though as I imagine it could easily sound like a paint colour
Ella - no, bland and will fade into the hordes of Ellas.

I'd go for Orla, Holly or Sienna.

Marcipex · 09/07/2018 07:03

Orly is sweet, nicer than Orla imo.
I still like Holly, it's popular for a reason.

I don't like Mila much, and I don't know how to pronounce it. Ella is a sweet name but massively over used. Freya is a bit dismal.

BasicBetty · 09/07/2018 12:04

Orla and Holly.

FinallyARainbow · 09/07/2018 12:16

Love Orla. I'd have used it if I'd had a girl but spelt Orlaith. Your way seems more popular though and less likely that people would need to be corrected on spelling.

DollyDayScream · 09/07/2018 12:28

I think that Freya is a beautiful name.

Baubletrouble43 · 09/07/2018 12:31

Orla is lovely x

LoveInTokyo · 09/07/2018 12:34

I like Holly the best.
