Lily, Edie or Sophie

[newtothis20]

Hi, we have a baby girl due in a few weeks and having thought we’d landed on a name have now gone off it so coming here hoping for some thoughts on Sophie, Edie or Lily. Any preferences? I know Sophie and Lily are both are popular which may put off a lot of people here but we really like them and are struggling to think of any others we like. We like Edie but think it may need a fuller formal name like Edith which we’re less keen on.

Thank you!

I like Sophie

I like Edie and would just use that

Sophie!

Love Sophie and Lily! Plus they are much more unusual than they used to be, if you look at the official government statistics the numbers of babies called Sophie has been falling year on year ever year for the past 25 years . Lily has been falling for the past 10 years. There will be even less by 2020
Definitely a good time to pick one of the names ❤️

I love Sophie and Edie.
I think they are both classic pretty names.

Edie. It's lovely

I like Sophie

Ive always loved Lily. I know it's popular but I still like it. I only like Edie if it's a nickname for Edith (which is lovely). Hope I don't offend anyone but I've always found Sophie a little dull/wet.

Edie if it’s short for Edith. Otherwise Sophie.

Sophie

Edie is lovely

My niece is called Edie and it's a beautiful name. (And it's a name in it's own right isn't it? So no need to be short for anything)

I also love Lily and Sophie is pretty but my least favourite of the 3.

Sophie and Edie are lovely

Either Sophie or Lily. Edie is too bland and nicknamey. If short for something, it would be better. Edwina?

Lily is beautiful
Edie reminds me of ED...as in erectile dysfunction

I like Edie

There are so many of all of those names round here at the minute. If that doesnt bother you then I personally like Sophie the best.

I like Edie, though I would probably use Edith, which I also like.

Sophie
Lily
Edie

In that order. Sophie is popular, but a timeless classic - I know Sophies of all ages.

Lily is also lovely, but a bit more prone to surges and drops in popularity. It feels a bit Harry Potter to me.

I'm not a fan of Edie, I keep wanting to pronounce it as Eddie.

I have a Sophie. She's the only one in her class (Y2), and I think there's only a couple more in the school.

Soph, Lil or Ede?

Sophie.

Just use Edie without a longer form if you like it.

I like Sophie and Lily too.

Sophie is more timeless.

Could Elodie be shortened to Edie? It's pretty and uncommon. I agree it's nice to have a longer name on the birth certificate so your child has more options

Edie it’s much less popular and quite cool I think. Every other girl is Lily or Sophie.
