Orla, beautiful name.
The other two are ok but a bit ‘meh’ and too popular.

Orla

Sophie. I like Sophia too.

Not keen on Orla and Grace is ok but more of a ubiquitous middle name to me.

Sophie

Orla

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 31/07/2018 09:29

Orla is the most unusual.
The others are quite ubiquitous

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 31/07/2018 09:30

Orla! Gorgeous!

leighdinglady · 31/07/2018 09:30

My DD is Orla and we get so many compliments.

Redsharks · 31/07/2018 09:32

Another vote for Orla. I like Sophie second as I am really not keen on Grace at all!

BiggerBoat1 · 31/07/2018 09:33

I love them all. Grace is my favourite name ever. Orla is beautiful too.

slovenlys · 31/07/2018 09:35

I think Orla is going to have a (much deserved) comeback!

I love it

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 31/07/2018 09:36

Orla reminds me of Orca the whale.
What about Anna or Iona?

SlimmingMumOf1 · 31/07/2018 09:37

Orla

Orla the other two are too popular.

JessieMcJessie · 31/07/2018 09:42

Personally I would think Orla was an odd choice unless you had Irish heritage. I also find it a bit odd that when pronounced with an a English accent you lose the “r” sound, which to me changes the essence of the name.

Grace is pretty but very very common nowadays. Sophie is sweet but a bit bland.

Icklepup · 31/07/2018 09:45

Orla

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 31/07/2018 09:47

Totally agree Jessie. In an English accent to me it doesn't sound good, especially with a broad northern accent!

RhythmStix · 31/07/2018 09:50

Cora
Darla
Marla
Do you like any of those?

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 31/07/2018 10:00

Grace

Sophie is lovely but so common when you include Sophia too.

Thanks all its so tough, this is out second DD so want it to go with our first DD's name if that makes sense.
Yes I know what your saying @JessieMcJessie however i do have an Irish heritgage, to some people that I've mentioned 'Orla', to they also think it sounds foreign.
@Rhythms - not a fan of those.
@GreatDuckCookery - don't really like either of those.
