Which name do you prefer for a girl?

[Jnl90]

Hi,

We are currently struggling to agree on a name for our baby girl who is due in 9 weeks.

We know we want a rare name as our son already has this and do seem to prefer 2 syllable names.

Between both our lists these are the names we have so far:

Marcie
Orla
Minnie
Nelly

Be great to get your opinions on these or also your ideas too as the only one we currently kind of agree on is Marcie.

Thanks!

1.Orla
2.Marcie
3.Minnie
4.Nelly

Marley?

I don’t think any of them are rare. I heard a Dulcie and Oriel (SP?) today, I would consider them quite rare.
I do like names beginning with O tho

An oriel is a type of window!

Orla

[purplepoppet92]

Love Orla

[madcatladyforever]

Martine (Marty for short)

[Edenember]

Orla, but if Nelly was Nell that’d be my choice.

[HallieLovesMe]

Minnie

[Tootletum]

What about
Ophelia
Juliet
Sibylle
Isolde
Iphigenie
Octavia
Tatiana
Aurelia
Antonia

Marcie is lovely

I actually know a Minnie. And I still think of the slang for a vagina when I see her. I work as a health care professional and lots of people talk about their "minnie" (or "noonoo". Including adults. Very weird).
I dislike Marcy a lot.
Orla is fine. I don't think it's especially pretty but it's ok.
I'm not keen on Nellie but I love Nell. I know 3 or 4 and I think it's a pretty and stylish name. None of them get teased about Nelly the Elephant (admittedly none is overweight either - it might be more of any issue then).

Just as a variation I really like the name Mercy

[FOKKYFC]

I can't be doing with Orla. And it's the least rare by far - there are three at my SE England primary.
I actually love Nelly but agree there may be stick.
Minnie is what little girls call their bits. Nope.
Weirdly, although I really dislike Darcy, I quite like Marcy in a 'post-war America' kind of way. But only with a 'y' - 'ie' always looks twee with names that traditionally end with a 'y'.

[wineandcatsandlego]

I love Marnie or Nancy

[Readandwalk]

Orla. Timeless classic and beautiful assonance.

[Chocolateandcarbs]

Love Minnie. Suggestion - Nora?

[user1493494961]

Not keen on any of them, although if I had to choose it would be Orla.

[CeeceeBloomingdale]

Orla is nice but I know quite a few, it's very popular.

Minnie, no, just no

Marcie, not my taste. What about Marcia? That feels more complete to me and Marcy could be a nickname.

Nelly, only as a nn, it's not a name in it's own right to me

[bluemoon2468]

I wouldn't consider Orla a rare name at all - I know 3 born in the last year and I don't even live in Ireland! It's definitely fast becoming the new Isla!

[RuPaula]

I have an Orla, so obviously love the name, but PP’s are right - there’s loads about now!

[Eatyourbanana]

Orla. All the others are a bit tacky, IMO - sorry.

[sibbys]

I love Minnie but people say it's slang for vagina

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Marcie

[pinkpinecone]

Orla

[Flappingflamingo]

Really like orla and I like nelly but not the other two but don't think any are particularly rare.
I wouldn't go with missy as someone suggested, my friend loves this name but as I pointed out to her if she were to get called by her full name or post it would say miss missy which is just daft
