Baby girl names... what are you top 5?

[MBb217]

What are your top 5 baby girl names?

Also... would a colleague naming their child your top name during your pregnancy make you change your option or would you keep it?

Other than DD’s name:

Juliet
Sylvia
Rosa
Honor
Clover
Clio

Could only get it down to 6, sorry! Re colleague, in all honesty I probably wouldn’t use the name, but I am a total name geek and have a bit of a thing about wanting to pick names that are as ‘unique’ in my circle as possible.

Madeline
Laura
Maria
Clara
Annabel

Sophia
Vivianne
Sylvie
Beatrice
Theadora

Wouldn't stop me using name

Lorna
Greer
Blythe
Mairi
Marsali

Other than my daughter's names:

Maria
Anya
Raine
Sabrina
Luna

And yes it would personally, I wouldn't use the same name as anyone I knew. But its personal opinion. Especially if it's a common name like Olivia, then they can expect other people will want to use it.

Clementine
Sophie
Seraphina
Grace
Cressida

Anya
Maya
Cora
Eloise
Ayla

Freya
Rosie
Harper
Brianna
Sienna

Anya
Felicity
Verity
Clementine
Greta
Willa

Ps. No I'd keep the name I'm struggling to understand why you would consider scrapping it? A colleague? So what?

Jasmine
Willow
Iris
Hazel
Tabitha

The colleague thing wouldn't bother me unless they were a particularly close friend as well as a colleague.

Delilah
Jemima
Georgina
Matilda
Primrose

Elsie
Nancy
Amelia
Eleanor
Delaney

Azalea
Evangeline
Delilah
Leonora/Honor
Isabel

The colleague thing would bother me a bit but it would depend on how close you were and how long the name has been your favourite. If the name has been your number one for many years then I still use it

Norah
Charlotte
Thea
Harriet
Rosa

I'd probably still use the name unless we were close friends

I so wanted Liadan (don’t know how to do a fada!) for DD, but DH wasn’t sold on it. It’s still one of my favourite names.

Also:

Maeve / Meabh
Rosa
Cleo
Gabriella
Valentina

Beatrix
Martha
Ianthe or Xanthe
Claudia
Harriet

Eden

Genevieve

Amy

Anais

Luna

Sophia
Lily
Grace
Evie
Isabelle

Other then my daughter's name
Juliet
Constance
Hattie
Anthea
Piper

Phoebe
Lucy
Daisy
Lola
Florence / Fleur / Flora (conversely I didnt used to like Flora until I watched Haunting of Hill House)

Well random five I like -

Lois
Oona
Cassia
Rosaria
Jocelyn

Colleague - if she’s just a common or garden colleague, do what you like. If you are fond of her or need to avoid pissing her off, then I’d avoid the name if it’s unusual - but if it’s a normalish name crack on.

Delilah
Marisol
Rebecca
Juliette
Hermione

Grace
Maeve
Violet
Vaila
Willow

I think it would put me off to be honest. I’m close to a colleague who’s due a couple of months before me and I’m already dreading her choosing the same name as me, even though I know the odds are slim haha!

Florence
Nina
Dorothy
Leila
