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?

I don’t think a colleague would make me change my mind but someone closer would - my top choice was always Sophia but a family member named their daughter Sofia and we’re close enough that it would be weird for me to use it too.

I used my son’s name despite it being a colleague’s name and several colleague’s children’s names.

28 weeks pregnant and trying to decide 😫

I really like Penelope and Anna!

Thank you Leo, I think Penelope is probably the front runner right now.

Other than my daughters names
Ivy
Olive
Clara
Nelly
Ada

It would depends on how close I was to the colleague and how common the name was.

stormelf · 28/01/2021 04:42

If I have another daughter these would be in the running:
Terra
Toria
Runa
Asteria
Astraia

If I had my heart set on a name I would still use it regardless of whether a colleague has used it, however I think it would bother me for a bit but in the long run if its the name I loved then that's more important

Synchrony · 28/01/2021 10:12

Adelaide
Hilary
Lorna
Belinda
Sylvia

It would annoy me about the work colleague, but I'd still use the name since I don't socialise with any work colleagues outside of work so wouldn't realistically have any impact.

Pippa

No it wouldn’t bother me, it’s only a colleague. Wouldn’t go for the same baby name as my sister or best friend but I wouldn’t be bothered about a colleague.
