@Frith2013 eh what's so horrid about lauren? Lmao your not really keen on many of the names we like what are your own suggestions then? And I've only known one marnie my whole life so not that common, and I was thinking dolcie/dulcie but I prefer both not sure on the pronunciation of dulcie tho? And alisia but would said like alyssia sound it's not made up it's just not common like alishaSmile

@daisypond no I hate laura! ahaha me old boss was called Laura spelled like lora tho and me auntie is called Laura and loads of people at school like at least 3!! and Laurel is just weird sorry and it's like that women on emmerdale! And not keen on grace either she would defo be Gracie not grace even if it is abit babyish but I don't think it is plenty of adults have names ending in a ie/y sound?

I like Ruby Sophia

Bristolgal · 22/07/2019 05:02

I like Ruby the best. And Ella, Gracie and Sophia are nice. I'm not personally a fan of the others, sorry.

Bristolgal · 22/07/2019 05:03

Imogen is lovely!

OhTheRoses · 22/07/2019 05:20

Google Ruby the maid in Upstairs Downstairs. Why not Alice instead of Alicia?

I quite like Marnie. Knew one in the early 80s and she was lovely.

Sophia, Dulcie (not Dolcie)

@bossbabynx5 your comment about posh made me laugh. Do you really think Alice is posh?

starkid · 22/07/2019 10:26

@OhTheRoses yeah to me it's just like a dead posh even royalish sounding name! Not a fan and she's the only Alice I've known, and it reminds me of alice and wonderland aswell. don't say that's you're name or something?

@starkid so do I that's one of the top ones I'm thinking maybe! Do u not think its abit chavy cos of marnie simpson tho? I've only known one marnie like 10 years she was 12 so she'll be like 22 or something now lovely pretty girl she was.

OP posts:
OhTheRoses · 22/07/2019 10:51

My dd's. But she is v posh and v blonde and has an Alice in Wonderland whimsy about her. We know lots of Alice's in their early 20s.

I was thinking maybe marnie-louise ? What do u think

OP posts:
starkid · 22/07/2019 10:55

Marnie, with Louise as a middle name or double-barrelled? Nice as a middle name, but I'm not personally a fan of double barrelled first names.
And I don't know who Marnie is, but knew a Marnie who would be late twenties now, and that's the only one I knew

starkid · 22/07/2019 10:55

*don't know who Marnie Simpson is

Twisique · 22/07/2019 11:02

Leonie is really nice.
