Thanks in advance

I'm not a huge fan of Lyra but all the others are lovely and fit your criteria of being timeless

Eliza, Elizabeth or Marianne are my favourites

SC1989 · 07/07/2020 11:01

I love Marianne!

What about Madeleine?

Love all except Marianne and Lyra.

Josephine is gorgeous.

Josie and Marianne are my favourites but I love them all apart from Lyra.

Josephine
Marianne
Clara

These were all on our list. Along with Lydia, Penelope, Esther and Zoe.

Josephine is the name I would choose for myself if I could so that's my favourite but I love Eliza too.

20viona · 11/07/2020 08:08

Lyra is the best of that bunch.

Esther
Anna
Elizabeth
Mary
Claire
Jennifer
Constance

Some of my favourites. Love Josephine too.

SallyWD · 11/07/2020 08:34

I love your list. Marieanne is my favourite!

Orphlids · 11/07/2020 10:11

Marianne and Josephine and absolutely cracking. I’d love to be named with of those. The only one I don’t like is Lyra. I find the ‘Ly’ sound very harsh, and I can’t get away from the fact it sounds like ‘lie’, or ‘lier’.

Orphlids · 11/07/2020 10:14

*either of, sorry.

helpmum2003 · 11/07/2020 10:18

I love all of them apart from Lyra.

No obvious favourite from me, can't decide. Do you have a middle name planned? Have you checked initials?

DonutDolittle · 11/07/2020 12:38

Marianne was top of my list for all 3 (boy) pregnancies. It's a beautiful name and as a teacher I haven't taught one in 7 years! Rebecca was also on there but I don't like Becky so it would have been a middle name

Heytheredelilah99 · 11/07/2020 15:08

Emma
Rebecca
Victoria
Elizabeth
Emily
Josephine
Amy
Georgina
Laura
