Baby (DC1) will be here in three weeks and we’ve settled on these four names:
Grace
Lucy
Anna
Camilla

Lucy Elizabeth
Grace Eliza
Anna Esme
Camilla Jane

Tough choice!

I know they’re all popular and in the top 50/60.

I don’t mind too much about popularity, but wondered if Grace was actually that popular as a FN (I know all girls have it as a MN).

Anna strikes me as simple and elegant, timeless. Lucy is timeless too but with a less formal and more cheerful feel. Camilla is a bit of an outlier, I just like the sound of it and don’t mind the royal associations. I’ve always loved Grace with the caveat that it might be too common.

Anyways, would love to hear your thoughts, thanks a lot! Flowers

I actually really like Camilla (lovely on its own but could do nn Cami or Milly) and it’s far less popular than the others. I can’t get too excited about Anna or Lucy as just know far too many. They are all nice enough whatever you go for though x

Anna Grace is just beautiful. Anna is such a pretty name, underused and classic.

Anna Jane or Anna Elizabeth. I wouldn’t go with Anna Grace as Anna actually means Grace, so it would be like naming her Grace Grace!

I just love Anna so much

Lucy is also one of my favourite names

I don't like Camilla. Too frilly but ok

Camilla would be my choice
Anna - love it but very popular right now
Lucy - nice but bit cutsey little girl
Grace - don’t like the sound - like grease

Camilla Jane is a bit 1970s - Camilla Elizabeth, or Camilla Anna Elizabeth??

I suggested Anna to my friend when she had her daughter 30 plus years ago. She used it after considering Anne but deciding it was a little plain. I still love it so that would be my choice.

Anna Grace or Camilla Grace

Camilla Grace is beautiful. Love Milly and Cami as shortened versions too. Nothing ‘wrong’ with the others but I do think Anna is quite boring and don’t think Lucy sounds great on adults.

Really really do not like Grace.

Lucy is my favourite of your choices, followed by Anna & then Camilla.

Lucy.
Grace.
