Our baby girl is due in 2 weeks and we still can't decide on a name. I like all of the above but can't seem to settle on one. What's people's thoughts? Thanks

I would choose Lucia

MadeOfStarStuff · 16/06/2021 13:23

I like Mila, Lucia and Willow

Hufflepuffsunite · 16/06/2021 13:36

Willow

Violetlavenders · 16/06/2021 14:28

Lucia is beautiful and interesting

I only know boys called Quinn.

Posieandpip · 16/06/2021 15:39

Love Quinn for a girl! I've never known a boy Quinn, only girls (and one dog!).

I'd choose Quinn or Lucia (if said Loo-see-uh, don't like Loo-chee-uh)

CherryMaple · 16/06/2021 15:40

I really like Lucia. I would assume Quinn was a boy.

Imo every dc should have a name people can pronounce without asking first.
If you list that leaves Willow as the best.
Was on our list but had a ds...

SunflowerOwl · 16/06/2021 15:43

I would go for Mila or Quinn Smile

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 16/06/2021 15:43

Willow or quinn, I know a baby girl Quinn and think it's a fab name!

SoapboxFox · 16/06/2021 15:51

Willow or Lucia.

TenThousandSpoons · 16/06/2021 15:52

All are nice but Lucia is my favourite.

Watchingthetelly · 16/06/2021 15:53

Lucia is a beautiful name

sarah13xx · 16/06/2021 16:46

Love the first three names but I think I’d choose Lucia!

CEC2021 · 16/06/2021 17:14

Quinn is gorgeous! Second would be Willow.
Would Mila be a Mee-la or My-la sound? Love the Mee-la pronunciation

partyatthepalace · 16/06/2021 21:31

Lucia

There are too many Milas, Willow is wet and faddy, Niah is meh and Quinn is old slang for lady parts

DramaAlpaca · 16/06/2021 22:21

Not Quinn, it's a surname and makes a silly first name.

Lucia is the best of the rest.

MerryChristmasToYou · 16/06/2021 22:35

Lucia - many ways of saying it
Mila - sould mealy
Quinn - quim
Niah - Nia (Knee-ah) or Nigh-ah?
Willow - fine, might not suit a stocky DD.

MerryChristmasToYou · 16/06/2021 22:35

sound not sould

Tatum1234 · 16/06/2021 22:56

Quinn is lovely

Queserasera89 · 17/06/2021 11:21

Thanks so much for everyone's opinions. The pronunciations we like are:

Mila: Mee-la
Lucia: Loo-see-a

I feel I'm leaning more towards Quinn as it's a little different although it worries me she may be mistaken for a boy although it does seem to be more of a feminine name now? Or does it sound too masculine? Have to say I have never heard of quim before and I'm in my 30's, it's a bit like saying "Willy" for William is it not!

I vetoed Quinn for DS as it feels somewhat incomplete but I do know a baby boy Quinn and I realise I like it for other people. Unisex imo.

But I adore Willow so I'd have that

Violetlavenders · 17/06/2021 11:27

I only know boys called Quinn. It sounds very masculine, like Finn or Flynn.

I also know a couple of Quinns who's full name is Quentin.

I love Lucia for a girl! So pretty and not overused.

Theoldwoman · 17/06/2021 11:30

Lucia

Iwantcauliflowercheese · 17/06/2021 11:30

Definitely not Quinn. It's so masculine. Lucia and Mila both have problems with pronunciation. Willow is easy to pronounce and spell.

TatianaBis · 17/06/2021 11:38

I only like the Italian pronunciation of Lucia - Loo-chee-a.

Loo-see-a in English just sounds like loo seat.

I'd go for Mila.
