Shortlist for girl no3!

34 replies

Hi everyone, this is our shortlist for our little one's name:

Ava
Felicity
Isabella
Hazel

our other girls are Rosie and Greta, but I've decided I don't care about how well the names go with my other girls' names, I'd rather just pick a nice name I like.
I can't decide which of the above names I prefer? I'm slightly going of Hazel, but so undecided. I think I might be leaning to Felicity, though. Which is your favourite? (please don't base answers on how well they go with my other daughters' names)
thank you very much :)

I really really like Hazel. I think its sweet :)

Peachbubble · 24/04/2019 18:13

I'd choose Felicity, with Hazel a close second.

Hazel is a cut above the other 3 IMHO

Ooh, it seems Hazel is a favourite...but I keep thinking it's a bit boring (no offense intended to any parents of Hazels :) ) so very close to scratching that off the list.
I think my favourite is Felicity...but I like all of them, this is just too hard!!

Felicity. Too many Avas and I do find Hazel a bit mousey...

Calixtine · 24/04/2019 18:55

Hazel is gorgeous! I think it goes perfectly with the sounds and feel of the other girls’ names too. Not boring at all.

E80C · 24/04/2019 19:04

Felicity is lovely. I do like Ava despite popularity.

DramaAlpaca · 24/04/2019 20:06

Felicity or Hazel for me.

Ipanema01 · 24/04/2019 20:06

I really dislike Hazel and Felicity, sorry! Ava is very popular but gorgeous.

EnglishRose1320 · 24/04/2019 20:07

I'd put them in this order

  1. Felicity
  2. Isabella
  3. Hazel
  4. Ava

I think we’re down to Felicity and Isabella. Ava is stunning but too popular and Hazel my DH wasn’t sure and I wasn’t either and it didn’t feel right :) thank you x

Felicity is my favourite
I like Ava and Isabella too but they are extremely popular so that would put me off.

Sophronia · 24/04/2019 22:41

Hazel

Clownfish123 · 24/04/2019 22:46

Ava and Isabella are too popular although Isabella is beautiful.
I like Felicity or Hazel but I think Hazel can sound bad in some accents, so Felicity.
Just out of interest, how do people react to Greta? I love that name but have never met one!

PlatypusLeague · 24/04/2019 22:49
  1. Isabella
  2. Felicity
  3. Ava
  4. Hazel
MercyBodle · 25/04/2019 04:31

Felicity is the only one I really like - lovely name.

Icklepup · 25/04/2019 08:15

Felicity Hazel
:)

KindleAndCake · 25/04/2019 08:34

Felicity for me, it rounds up nicely with your other dd's names.

Lifeaback · 25/04/2019 08:40

Felicity for me- I think Isabella is too popular especially compared to Rosie and Greta (which are both lovely names btw!)

mynameisMrG · 25/04/2019 08:40

Felicity is definitely my favourite

polkadotpixie · 25/04/2019 09:00

I hate Hazel and I'm not over keen on Felicity either. I like Ava best but it is very popular so I'd probably go for Isabella

bridgetreilly · 25/04/2019 10:19

I love Felicity. Ava and Isabella are fine, though I prefer Isabel. I don't like Hazel at all, sorry. Too granny for me.

LordoftheRinse · 25/04/2019 10:23

I prefer Isabella to Felicity as I think it ages better. But I think Felicity goes best with your other DD’s names

Stephanie01 · 25/04/2019 11:15

Felicity

Newbiewife · 25/04/2019 16:00

Hazel!!
