Girls name - Caroline / Lucy / Beth

[Mncrmum]

38 +4 weeks here and still can’t decide on name for DD. We’ve had Lucy and Bath as major contenders and keep swapping back and forth, Caroline is a newish entrant. I would go for NN Callie/Carly though I think 🤔.

Which do you think sounds best?

Obviously Beth … not Bath. 😂

I get hyphens aren't everyones thing but how about Lucy-Beth
I'm not feeling Carly from Caroline. Other than that its an nice name.

Beth is one of my favourite names.

Lucy is alright and I like Callie as a name on it's own but dislike Caroline/Carly.

I like them all. Elizabeth would be my choice, NN Beth, then Lucy, then Caroline. I also like the name Carly, and Caro as a shortened form of Caroline.

I would personally go for Olive,pretty and unusual but like Caroline as well or Carrie.X

Caroline is very nice - an elegant international classic , yet very underused in the UK now for some reason. Must admit I'm not especially keen on Carly but the Callie and Caro nn's are quite cool.

I like Beth as a nn for lovely Elizabeth (which is the ultimate timeless "cant go wrong" name imo) but on it's own it feels a bit unfinished to me.

I should like Lucy as another classic, but the sound of it is just too cutesy for me, sorry.

Ahh. I have a Lucy Caroline.
She's 46 now

If you like Carly, then call her Carly.

It's a perfectly nice name.

Of the three you mention, I like Caroline best, but I wouldn't use Carly as a nn. Possibly Carrie.

Definitely not Caroline. Lucy is lovely and Beth is pretty too.

Gotta be Caroline!

I like all three names. I see Caroline as being from my generation though (so due a comeback ).

I agree with others- if you like Carly, use Carly.

I love the name Beth so that gets my vote.

Caroline may be about to rocket up the name lists, particularly if England win on Sunday. I’d be very clear about how you feel about Sweet Caroline, because you will hear it forever.
Still, it is a lovely name in its own right and at least it avoids the possibility of a generation of baby girls named Gareth.

I've got a Beth so am biased but obviously love the name. It's also surprisingly uncommon for a fairly traditional name.

Definitely not Caroline.

Beth & Lucy are both great names.

Caroline is lovely but Carly is horrid.

I love all three, great names. I prefer Carrie/ Callie as nn for Caroline.

Like them all but love Caroline nn Caro or Carly

I always say, when you're down to 2-3 names, wait until baby is here. One might just fit her better than the others.

Also prefer Elizabeth with the nickname Beth.

My favourite there is Beth, then Caroline which I really like! Caro or Lina could be the nn?
Not a fan of Lucy. It's just so Sharp.

I like them all but would use Beth as a nickname for Elizabeth rather than standalone. At this point I would probably wait to see her before settling on a final name.

I’m a Caroline. I sometimes get Carrie (or Caz, ugh) but never Carly. Just be prepared for her to be serenaded by “that” song every pub closing time, family do, and large sporting event for the rest of her life :-D

I like them all.

Lucy Caroline sounds nice?

Just realised I’m almost actually two of your choices - I’m a Caroline Bethan.

I prefer Lucy of the options, I quite like Caroline, but I think will have a revival due to the England Football Team using Sweet Caroline as an anthem, may lead to lots of little baby Caroline’s!
