My favourite is Lucy.

His favorite is Jessica.

Robyn is an ok one. Maybe a middle name if it doesn't grow. Also like Iris as a middle name.

Lucy was 65th last year
Robyn 64th
Jessica 33rd.

Just to give an idea of popularity.

Lucy!Smile

Lucy. Jessica is OK.

Robyn and Iris are lovely names. Jessica and Lucy are both a bit dull.

Firebird83 · 27/11/2020 15:35

Robyn

DD is Lucy. Only one in her year group of almost 90 children. The name is much more popular in Ireland though. DC2 would have been Jessica if he were a girl! So they're both great names but I guess Lucy pips it.

Jessica by a mile. It’s not that used anymore. But still always sounds like an energetic, upbeat while still very feminine girls name. Will always love it and always wished I’d been called it😊

Lucy is lovely but I know far more Lucy’s than Jessica’s so it never feels individual.

Robyn- just no!

This thread shows clearly to me that taste levels on MN have just gone seriously downhill!

Robyn?! It’s so harsh, so bland, very American. Awful.

Jessica is the most lovely by FAR. Funny your DH likes this as mine also says it’s always been his favourite girls name - as did an ex boyfriend!

Lucy is also very sweet but a bit blander.

Pudding01 · 27/11/2020 16:09

Robyn = 11

Lucy = 10

Jessica = 3

Glad people like the MN idea of Iris. Erin's is Rose and my first name is a plant lol Felt quite fitting. Also a little bit of an Irish vibe, which I like.

Robyn is my favourite by far.

I'm not keen on Lucy or Jessica. Find them a bit dated but not in a nice, vintage way.

Thedogshow · 27/11/2020 16:14

I don’t like Robyn at all, so either of the other 2. Robyn sounds really 1990s to me.

sundowners · 27/11/2020 16:15

Jessica 100% - by another mile

Jessica, love it 😍
Lucy is very nice
Robyn awful

Arcadia · 27/11/2020 16:19

Jessica

mollyminniemo · 27/11/2020 16:21

Jessica : its always been 1 of my favourite girls names. Just as feedback to the "is too popular" comments I know 3/4 my age (35). DD-4 I haven't come across any in her nursery or school. We are SW London.
Really really do not like Robyn. Genuinely Shock at the like for it here. I was at school with 2 Robins one a boy, one a girl, always thought it sounded harsh and sorry a bit common then and didn't seem attractive to me (as a kid anyway!) that it was so unisex.

mysocalledlife · 27/11/2020 16:25

I like Robyn best, it's such a cool name.

Himawarigirl · 27/11/2020 16:28

Love Robyn. Lucy and Jessica seem quite bland.

OffredOfjune · 27/11/2020 16:32

@VenusClapTrap

Robyn and Iris are lovely names. Jessica and Lucy are both a bit dull.
Agreed
DominaShantotto · 27/11/2020 17:18

It gets freakier OP - Lucy was our other one we liked!

Pudding01 · 27/11/2020 18:59

Robyn = 15

Lucy = 11

Jessica = 8

I know Robyn is on the lead (to my surprise) but the strength in the differences of opinion is quite big on this thread. Fascinating.

Surprised Lucy didn't do better after seeing it praised in other threads.

So I know:
1 Robyn who's around 50.
2 Lucys who are 33 & 40
6 Jessicas, one is 3 and the rest around their 30s

Boxofpinot · 27/11/2020 19:32

Does that count as more for Lucy?? 🤣🤣🤣

DeeandraReynolds · 27/11/2020 19:32

Grin @Boxofpinot. I disagree with your choice, but I like your very subtle way of beating the system Wink.

Pinkclarko · 27/11/2020 19:42

My daughter is a Jessica, I love it. Had my son been born a girl he would’ve been Robyn, it’s such a cute name.

What do you like best OP?! It doesn’t matter a jot what we think, this thread won’t guarantee approval In the real world. They are all lovely names in my opinion, it’s a good list.

Boxofpinot · 27/11/2020 20:08

@DeeandraReynolds I was hoping nobody would notice my devious underhanded ways... 😂 😂 😂 😂
