Lucy, Jessica or Robyn?

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.

And I meant to say, I like Erin. I don’t think of it as old school but it’s unusual and bright, intelligent sounding, to me.

Pudding01 · 27/11/2020 23:39

@DeeandraReynolds totally offended, you bitch! 🤣 But no, I get what you're saying, maybe Erin is more in line with Lucy. In a simple, classic, nice girls name that isn't over used. Robyn is a lovely name, but maybe it's more a niche one...

I don't find any of the names dull, or 80s. I could list the ones that I believe fit that (including my own), but it's all subjective. My problem with Jessica was its popularity.

Erin and Lucy together actually sound really lovely, the more I think about it... I think Lucy and Jessica written together somehow sounded a bit 80s, but actually think Lucy with Erin or on its own is indeed classic, rather than dated.

You are a total twat however 😂😂😂

I think the thing with Robyn being relatively niche - but still common enough for people to know one or two - is that people are more likely to have pretty strong reactions either way. I only know two Robyns and am not a fan of either, so I have a negative opinion on the name. Whereas while I know at least one or two not so nice Lucys or Jessicas, they're outweighed by all the others with those names! I would personally choose Lucy because I like the meaning and don't know quite as many of them as Jessicas. Plus Lucy goes well with Erin, both with two syllables.

Jessica, Lucy or Lucia (pronounced loose-e-ah)

Zoflorabore · 28/11/2020 00:16

I have a Lucy. She is almost 10.
I chose her name when I was a little girl!

There is one other in her school who is around 6/7.

It’s a gorgeous name.

Liquoriceallsort87 · 28/11/2020 00:18

If I ever have a girl it will be Jessica, named after my cousin who passed away.
Don’t like the name Lucy as I’ve been cheated on twice and both with girls named Lucy!!

Raffie13 · 28/11/2020 00:25

Lucy

LemonsYellow · 28/11/2020 06:05

I don’t think Erin is dated. I know two Erins - one is 18, the other is 10.
Lucy and Jessica are classic names and don’t really date.
Robyn is very “now” and doesn’t have the class of those other names.

Marmitecrumpetsxxx · 28/11/2020 07:15

I love Robyn x

Pudding01 · 28/11/2020 07:53

Robyn = 23

Lucy = 26

Jessica = 16

Thanks for all your replies everyone, really enjoyed this thread and the mixed opinions! 🥂

@DeeandraReynolds hahaha my plan seems to be working 😇😇😇😇😈😈😈😈

DeeandraReynolds · 28/11/2020 08:21

Damn it @Boxofpinot, your highly sophisticated skills of persuasion are too much for me!

Mishmased · 28/11/2020 08:22

I know two girls names Lucy (7 and 9)
Two Jessica (15 and 34)
1 Robyn (10 weeks)

I'd go with Robyn I guess.

Boxofpinot · 28/11/2020 08:54

😂 😂 😂 😂 @DeeandraReynolds I have converted one but is it working on @pudding01???? 🧐 🧐 🧐 🧐

TildaTurnip · 28/11/2020 09:00

Erin and Lucy sound great together. I don’t particularly like the name Lucy though.

I’d choose Jessica.

Robyn is my least favourite. Rob is awful as a shortened nn!

Look out @Pudding01! She has powers beyond human understanding 🤯.
Pudding01 · 28/11/2020 10:26

@Boxofpinot Lucy has always been my one! Erin nearly was a Lucy 😁 It's my DP that likes Jessica. Robyn was our let's trying and think of a name we both like moment.

We ruled out Sophie for popularity, as that was in the mix as well.

Boxofpinot · 28/11/2020 12:30

Wahoo!!! Hhhmmm, my youngest was very nearly Sophie.... Still Lucy iris!!! 😂 😂 😂

itakephotos · 28/11/2020 12:39

Robyn was our second choice girls name but we had a boy after our daughter.
Loved it then and I still love it now 😊
I've never met anyone recently with it either.

Zoflorabore · 28/11/2020 14:11

I was adamant that although I had chosen Lucy as a first name I wanted her middle name to be a bit different and she arrived a couple of weeks early on February 14th so she is called Lucy Valentine Smile

Elmo230885 · 28/11/2020 14:29

I love all three. My DS is Robin but if he were a girl he would have been Jessica, Lucy or possibly Natalie.
Iris is my DDs middle name, named after my Grandma.

ellentree · 28/11/2020 14:39

If popularity is an issue then Lucy. In England and Wales, there were almost the same amount of Sophies and Jessicas. Fewer Lucys and Robyns but Robyn is the only one gaining popularity of those 4 names.

Lucy, Jessica or Robyn?
