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?

I love Caroline. I'd use Callie or Caro as a nickname I think, or maybe Carrie. I like Beth as a nickname for Elizabeth. Lucy is fine but definitely my least favourite of the three.

Lucy then Caroline then Beth.

If you wanted full name/NN then I'd go Bethany/Beth or Calista/Callie.

Personally I prefer to just use the name I like - no need for formal names nowadays as many "nicknames", like the ones you've chosen are well known in their own right.

Cazza seems to be the accepted nickname round here

Caroline on bc. Carrie day-to-day.
Also like Lucy.
Dislike Beth.

I love Beth of your options. Would use it myself but doesn’t really work with the surname. I don’t think you’d need to have Elizabeth on the bc unless you wanted to - it works on its own.

Agree with others that Caroline might be about to have a resurgence, in England at least, due to Sweet Caroline.

I'd go with Caroline because it is more unusual. Lucy is very popular and Beth a bit dated.

I like Cally (that spelling) and Carly.

I'll offer Catherine and Susan.

I like beth, nn for Bethany (not Elizabeth) - it's very pretty and soft.

I love Lucy and Beth. Caroline is clunky, awkward and old fashioned in comparison.

Caroline is lovely. I like Beth. I would use Bethany as the full name, personally.

These names being a real sense of nostalgia, to be honest l like them all, and quite refreshing in comparison with many popular names today.

Lucy is my favorite out of the options. Lucy Caroline would be nice!

Beth is such a pretty name. One of my faves too and had I had a girl it would have been a contender!
Lucy is pretty too.

My daughter is Lucy Elizabeth. No hyphen but we’ve called her Lucy Beth affectionately since she was born she is 11 now and loves her name!

I know a little girl named Carolina- I prefer that to Caroline x

Love Caroline

I reckon Caroline is going to get very popular this year!

Elizabeth would be potentially her middle name - Lucy Beth ❤️

Caroline is pretty but I feel like it shouldn't be and I don't know why. Its a name that i like, but I feel like I need to add 'for some reason' after i say 'i like the name Caroline!' Carly is horrible - dated and ... Dare I say it ... Chavvy. Callie and Carrie are lovely though.

Beth and Lucy are also pretty.

If I had to choose between all of them and Olive, though, I'd choose Olive in a heartbeat. (I am assuming you previously asked about the name Olive, going from a PPs comment?)

I'd choose

1. Olive nn Liv
2. Carrie/Callie or Caroline nn Carrie/Callie
3. Beth
4. Lucy
