Which do you prefer? Girls names

[Lou2120]

Hi I am wondering which is your fav out of this list and any you dont like please say why...

Maggie
Layne
Violet
Phoebe
Belle

Middle names
Lou
Elle

Belle Elle, obvs.

Maybe (because I knew a wonderful nurse in Great Ormond street Hospital with that name) and Belle is very sweet

Phoebe

Belle lou sounds like the bear from jungle book sorry
I love the name violet usually but violet lou makes me think of an upset stomach violet elle just really doesn't sound right, think it's too many L's and E's
I'd probably go Maggie or phoebe with lou

I like Violet. I don’t like Lou or Elle. Agree with a PP that a longer middle name might be nicer - Louisa/Louisa? Elodie/Eleanor/literally any El name?

Actually, I think any of the first names are nice, except Layne which is really don’t like. But Lou and Elle aren’t very nice and don’t go with any of the first names. Maggie Lou sounds a bit like she should live in a trailer in the Deep South, Maggie Elle sounds like “Bloody ‘ell!” Violet Lou sounds like a purple toilet, Violet Elle flows into one word and sounds like ‘Volatile’. Phoebe Lou is maybe the least bad combination but also sounds a bit trailer-trash, Phoebe Elle just doesn’t flow. Belle Lou and Belle Elle are so obviously bad there’s no need for me to even point out why. Can you change the middle names?

I know a lainey and I like it. I like violet and phoebe not keen on the others.

Phoebe is the only one I like.
Maggie is very nice if short for Margaret.
I know a Lainey. Not heard of Layne.

Layne could be a middle name.
First name Violet or Penny would sound quite nice.

Layne is a name I've heard used in america.
Obviously I wouldn't use combinations like Belle Elle!! My middle names have family meaning however I am open to different middle names!

I couldn't imagine calling my baby Margaret, although appreciate your suggestions!

Any other names for girls you all like feel free to give suggestions however I dont like names that are over used such as Ellie, Isla, Isabella etc.

Phoebe is lovely. Why not call her Phoebe Belle?

Phoebe Louise rather than Lou

Phoebe

The middle names I'm not keen on, sorry!

Phoebe or Violet. Not keen on your middle names, agree with pp Phoebe Belle would be nice. Layne is awful.

I like Violet.

Are you pronouncing Layne like Lane or Lane-y. If it's Lane-y that is a name used in America, but spelled Lainey. I would pronounce Layne like Lane if I saw it.

A very dear relative was
Grace Violet

I grew up in the 80s, so Maggie will always remind me of Thatcher. That is not a good thing.

I quite like Phoebe & Belle.

Phoebe, cos I have one and she's wonderful!

Her middle name is Isabella but we also liked:

Phoebe Willow
Phoebe Louise
Phoebe Alice

Hi I don't like Maggie or Layne very much and I think Lou is overused. I'm in the UK. Love phoebe, belle, Violet and Elle though
