Leonie Louise Surname

Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 11:07

@starkid look her up haha! She's really famous where I'm from, for having sex on reality tv(Geordie shore) think she's expecting her own baby now tho lol, and yeah I like hyphenated names unless u think that's to much?

OP posts:
Twisique · 22/07/2019 11:10

I would avoid hyphens, keep it simple for forms etc.

Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 11:15

@Twisique u know I LOVE that!! really goes only thing is and why I didn't put leonie in this original post is this girl really put me off leonie! Little bitch haha don't think I could use it as she was very gobby and loud it would be like giving birth to her! 🙄 Or I would go for it! (She was the exs ex) and I wasn't really a fan of her! Maybe lola-louise has the same sort of ring to it tho? Not sure

How about Lexie Louise or Lois Louise
Clio is nice too.

Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 11:18

I love (name) hyphenated with Louise tho! Even tho they probably wouldn't even end up using the hyphenated part as no one I know with a double barreled name really does! They just use the first name and the full double barrel one officially.

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 11:21

And yeah I quite like lexie/lexi and that sounds nice with Louise! Lois is okay not my favourite tho, not so much clio tho.

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 11:23

@twisique do u not think lexi is abit chavy tho ? Only thing that puts me off is I knew I lad called lex (I know weird) and he was like so weird I didn't like him at all so she might get lex and I would think of him😁

OP posts:
Twisique · 22/07/2019 12:30

If you want to not sound chavvy go with Alexandra Louise, no hyphens.
How about Audrey or Delphine?

Astronica · 22/07/2019 13:42

From your original list I think the best are: Ruby, Ella, Gracie, Sophia.

Lauren is okay but feels dated. I really dislike Marnie (sounds very moany to me), Britney, Alisia, Dolce.

Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 14:20

@Twisique not really overly keen on alexandra I've known one and she got Alex all the time! Went to school with her and she works in the subway near me now! Haha so again known someone and don't really like the name alexandra think it sounds like alexander which is a boy name, I quite like alexa tho then could call her lexi for short but just hate alex😁everyone puts me off names tho used to love the name paige until I met a few and neither of them were nice people.

Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 14:22

And audrey sounds like someone about 70? And no can't stand delphine either!!

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 14:23

What does yous think of lola-Louise or ruby-louise ?

OP posts:
AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 22/07/2019 14:43

DD is just 'Ella'. 'Sophia' is her middle name.

It's funny because she got a letter today: Miss Ella Sophia (surname) and I thought of this thread. I hardly ever see her names together. The time before that was probably the last time I looked at her passport Smile

That's why I'm always a bit baffled by how much thought people give their child's middle names, it's not as if they're ever really going to be used or known.

I love the names Ruby & Louise.

Some other suggestions:

Emma
Emily
Anna
Amélie
Amelia
Sophie

Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 15:17

@alwaysonabloodydiet I still think a middle name does matter even tho it probably doesn't get used much, do not get me started on emily! Emily was the girl sleeping with my ex behind my back so no chance!! known a few sophie's and not been keen on any of them so no way, emma known a few liked one sort of wasn't so keen on the other so that's a no even tho the names quite nice I wouldn't use it myself, known an amelia wasn't keen and it sounds to posh I think, know an anna she's lovely but not keen on the name it's to plain, and amelie this woman I didn't really like years ago daughter was called that so nah. Haha I'm so picky sorry don't like them suggestions but I love ella! Was it hard to choose from ella and sophia? and does she like her name?

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 15:19

I've known a few Ruby's maybe about 3, one was a twin with a girl called Erin but I've not known any well so it's not a problem, It's quite common tho. I like Cheryl as a middle name to for some reason always have ahah.

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 15:22

Also what does she get for short ellie/elly or elle? Cos I HATE the name ellie thinks it's awful and someone put me off to so yak!

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 15:23

Why are so many people against marnie tho?? 😂🤷🏼‍♀️Don't see what's wrong with it

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 15:25

Is ruby not abit to like that song that goes ruby ruby ruby ruby tho if your saying lola is ? .. hahah🤣

OP posts:
AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 22/07/2019 15:56

Sorry OP, but I'm laughing at you disregarding and disliking names, based on people you used to know 😂
Other than Emily of course, we'll scrap that one!

She has only ever been called Ella, and I just asked her and Yes, she likes her name Smile

Bossbabynx5 · 22/07/2019 16:16

@alwaysonabloodydiet it just puts u off tho would be weird to call them that ! I do love ella tho, how old is she exactly when was she born didn't know it was popular for teenagers? And oo is just reminds me off saying who's this emily that keeps popping up on your phone! the stupid slag haha! Some people say it weirdly to like without the i? So I never know if it's it's said like em-il-y or em-ly if u could get what I mean. Before her I knew one other emily! And an emelia and I did love her name just don't like Amelia spelt like that tho even tho that's probably the more popular spelling. Think amelia and amelie are to to posh not my taste

OhTheRoses · 22/07/2019 19:10

May I suggest Jane. Or Joy. You sound such a good natured joyous soul op

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 22/07/2019 19:23

She's mid teens.

TBH, I didn't realise just how popular it was at the time, but like I said, we don't know or meet (m)any other Ellas.

You'll have to come back in September and tell us what you've called her!

Is it your first baby?

luckyorange · 22/07/2019 19:36

I really like Marnie and Lauren! Also I don't think I've seen those names at all at nursery or in baby groups. Although I know some adult Laurens.

OhTheRoses · 22/07/2019 21:17

I have known one Ella. She was divine. Not short for anything. She died not long ago in her 80s. OP she was The Hon Ella. Her father was a Lord (Baron). She giggled at everything and twinkled and aparkled throughout her entire life. She bestowed happiness. I had forgotten her name was just that. She was v v posh but the most down to earth woman you cd ever meet.
