We found out we're having a girl, due in November. Can you give your opinions on these names? There's no front-runner at the moment for us! Thanks

Anna
Alba
Clara
Millie
Sophie

Lovely names.

Anna's by far my favorite.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/08/2019 14:08

I love Anna.

Hoodiesallsummer · 26/08/2019 14:09

Anna is best.

VivianSmith · 26/08/2019 14:15

Clara from your list, and Eliza from @bumbags additions

QuinoaWest · 26/08/2019 14:28

Anna

Expressedways · 26/08/2019 14:31

I like them all apart from Alba but Anna is definitely my favourite

Cornishmum00 · 26/08/2019 14:41

Anna is my favourite, Alba least favourite

Frith2013 · 26/08/2019 14:49

any except Sophie (too boring) or Eliza (old crone).

AverageMummy · 26/08/2019 16:25

I have a Clara and she’s 5 yet we’ve never met another - I love her name so I have to say Clara!
I also love Alba

Thanks for all the replies. Eliza was on my list but my DH vetoed it.

Anna and Clara seem to be leading on here. I love them both but they're getting a bit popular where I am. I've met two baby Claras this year and I know a few Annas of various ages.

I think I'm going to rule out Sophie for popularity. At least the list of going down Smile

Anna is the best!

Oysterbabe · 26/08/2019 17:40

Anna is my favourite by far.

NameChangerAmI · 26/08/2019 17:42

Anna.

Not keen on any of the others.

MarshaBradyo · 26/08/2019 17:42

Anna

bridgetreilly · 26/08/2019 17:44

Anna or Clara.

I don't mind Millie as a nickname, but I'd give her a proper name too. Camilla? Also Emily, Amelia, Millicent are possibilities.

user1493494961 · 26/08/2019 17:44

Anna or Clara. Dislike Alba.

Peachbubble · 26/08/2019 19:53

Clara

PrincessLouis · 26/08/2019 22:45

Anna 😍😍😍

Heh1991 · 27/08/2019 12:21

I love Anna and Clara.

Think Alba is a bit out there and the others a bit boring!- That's just my opinion though :)

katesalwayslate · 27/08/2019 12:52

I love Anna, Clara, and Alba

diddlediddle · 27/08/2019 13:11

Alba is nice if you want something a bit different, although I do worry it gets lost in the sea of Ayla/Aria/Ada/etc etc type names.

Clara is good. Anna is classic. Millie is a nickname - might work with a longer version only don't choose Amelia/Emilia. Glad you've ruled out Sophie.

Anya, Cleo, Lucy, Lena, Thea?

Thank you all. I've got it down to Anna, Clara and Alba (and maybe Thea now too!)

I love Anna, Clara and Sophie. Millie is too nicknamey for me and sorry, not keen on Alba.

We're going with Anna 🤩 A lovely name with no issues, and it's not too popular with children under 10 where we are. Thanks!
