The ones we like are lola , marnie ,ruby, Gracie , Ella , alisia (said like al-lis-iya not al-eesh-a) sophia , Britney , dolcie, and Lauren. Which is the best and worst out of them as we can't agree and she's due September?? Thanks thought or anything would be a help or any suggestions and middle names to? Smile

I wasn't being sarcastic - it shines through.

Bossbabynx5 · 23/07/2019 22:30

My opinion, no offence intended:-

Gracie will be called Grace, besides it sounds babyish for a women in her 40’s. Marnie is cute, I like it, all the Marnie’s I know are over the age of 70 or have passed away. Ruby isn’t great. Lauren is very 80’s, I was in school with several- and none of them nice for some reason. Lola was my pets name. Ella is so over done it’s like the old Emma and Sarah- 6 I’m every class. Sophia again 6 in a class it’s so popular. Dolcie don’t like prefer Dulcie a little more. Britney, very 90’s, American and chavvy. Alisia is pretty but you will forever be correcting her name. Oh and Louise is such a boring middle name (it’s mine), in my high school form room out of 17 girls, 14 had Louise as a middle name- how much imagination our parents had!

So my suggestions are;-

Annabelle, Anais, Alexis, Avery, Arianna, Anastasia, Alannah, Aleah, Brianna, Brooke, Cassia, Cerys, Celeste, Esme, Eden, Eliza, Ebony, Freya, Gianna, Hallie, Imogen, Isla, Juno, Kayla, Layla, Layne, Leah, Luna, Lorna, Lowri, Mila, Mia, Matilda, Nova, Nia, Orla, Portia, Quinn, Rae, Remy, Rochelle, Samia, Savannah, Tallulah, Tia, Thea, Thalia, Tegan, Via, Willow, Xavier, Yana, Zara

Marnie - Nice but getting popular
Ruby - Can't get past the Ruby Murray connection
Gracie - Grace, not Gracie - ok but not a huge fan (and what if she's not full of grace?
Ella - ok
alisia (said like al-lis-iya not al-eesh-a) - awful, and that's not how you spell it anyway
Sophia - lovely
Britney ,- awful
Dolcie - shouldn't it be Dulcie? I like Dulce, but not Dolcie
Lauren - Nice, but prefer Sophia

Bossbabynx5 · 23/07/2019 23:16

@IsobelRae23 bit negative ahah well I like like louise as a hypenated or middle name I know it's common but who cares! Out of them I do love Anastasia tho! Hallie is a relative so couldn't aleah also so no go! And I love leah to but I've know 3 or maybe 4 very well so that's would be like naming her after them. Alannah/alana I liked but then met 2 who were both awful people so no! Annabelle I hate it reminds me of the doll, quite like brooke/brooklyn , all the rest I hate sorry except for esme , ebony , alexis , ariana is okay is suppose but far to Ariana grande! Remy is okay but abit weird and footballerish, I like rae as a middle name not first. Tegan is soo chavy lmao. Quite like Lorna

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 23/07/2019 23:25

What about Layla?

(Because you like Lorna & Lola)

RockyChoccyRoad · 23/07/2019 23:30

I have an Ella. Never been in a class with another one, she’s actually the only one at her primary school. Name doesn’t get shortened to anything. When she was very small it got lengthened to Ella Bella but now she’s 10 it’s very definitely just Ella. Like you I’m not fond of Elle or Ellie.

If you like Louise as a middle name how about Eloise?

Icklepup · 24/07/2019 13:51

Marnie! Or Maisie?

BowiesJumper · 24/07/2019 14:00

Marnie - Not too bad.
Ruby - I like Ruby. I would pick this or Alicia (spelt with a c).
Gracie - I like Grace. Could always call her Gracie day to day?
Ella - Nice, but lots of them about
alisia - I like it spelt the "proper" way - Alicia.
Sophia - Nice, but lots of them about again!
Britney - awful
Dolcie - Dulcie is ok, never heard of Dolcie, is that a misspelling?
Lauren - ok but feels dated to me! (just trends though isn't it)

Bossbabynx5 · 24/07/2019 21:31

@Icklepup omg hahah I hate maisie! I used to known this crazy physco girl called maisie acctually think u spelled her name like maisey and we used to call her crazy maisey lmao😂! So dont fancy giving birth to 'crazy maisie' laughing just thinking about her ahaha and known 2 including her and tbh it's just known as abit of a sketty chavy name where I'm from didn't like the other one either.

Bossbabynx5 · 24/07/2019 21:41

@AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet yeah it is! and I will do! Think she should have a name for when she's born tho she can't just be called baby for days or weeks really can she or 42 days after she's born which is how long u have to decide, doesn't seem right. I've never known an ella ever! It does kinda remind me of that Rihanna song tho a long time ago if u know the one I mean ahah, and layla thanks for the suggestion but I'm not keen think I've known one and she was a bratty little girl! and what would I call her for short lay? just not for me for some reason lol

Bossbabynx5 · 24/07/2019 21:43

I was thinking about lola guys and although I love I thought it was abit childish and just sort of inappropriate for when she's a grown women? Am I right or not.

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 24/07/2019 21:46

Anyone know any sophia get called sophie for short? cos that's what's putting me off the similarly cos I hate hate hate that name!! Only known one I liked hah.

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 24/07/2019 21:51

@BowiesJumper noo I don't like grace for some reason!! However gracie I love maybe thinking it's also abit weird and childish for a grown adult? A girl I know(family friend) but not well so it's fine to copy a little bit called her 2 daughters alicia(but said like al-is-iya) and grace officially like on her passport birth certificate etc but they just call her gracie most of the time.

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 24/07/2019 22:06

@RockyChoccyRoad oo no I hate bella! Do u like that bella or anything like that? That's so popular now and I hate ellie to why would anyone call there kid that!? ellie was the ex bestfriend (who turned out to be a massive sly bitch) and I'm not keen on eloise used to know one and she was like in her 30 I knew her kids well on of them and nieces etc so just reminds me of her. I think it sounds like air-louise which is just weird lol. Think there was a girl in my primary school called it to she was much younger than me tho ,I don't hate elle as much but not a fan it just reminds me of that elle woods from that big film legally blonde haha.

Funny thing is I've liked the name ruby since I was about 12Smile

OP posts:
Bossbabynx5 · 24/07/2019 22:14

@BowiesJumper no it's not a misspelling, is it ment to be dulcie I dunno? Not sure don't u say it like dolcie tho anyways? it's to confusing alreadyConfused

ArtichokeAardvark · 24/07/2019 23:01

Not a huge fan of any of your names but Sophia or Gracie are the best of them.

Please don't call your child Lola - forget Copacabana, there's a famous song by The Kinks about a transvestite called Lola getting a boy drunk and taking his virginity...

OhTheRoses · 25/07/2019 05:20

What about Tessa?

orangeblosssom · 25/07/2019 06:32

Fire
Lily
Rain

Bossbabynx5 · 25/07/2019 08:33
