Help me choose: sister for Lucy!

[Janedamaz]

Hi lovely Mumsnetters,
I am expecting DD2 in a few months and I have narrowed down all the names I love.

Can you help me by telling me which ones are your favourite/least favourite?
DD1 is Lucy.

Sylvia
Francesca
Jemima
Simone (I’m French)
Sabine
Olivia
Hazel
Eliza

I want a name that’s a bit more out there than Lucy and that I love just as much.

Love them all but Sylvia is my favourite

Lucy and hazel is fabulous!
Love Jemima and Silvia
Not keen on Sabine.
Olivia is extremely popular where I am and not at all out there but very pretty.

Hey! Congratulations on DD2!

Out of your list Hazel is most definitely my favourite.. I think 'Lucy and Hazel' sounds so pretty together💕

Simone is my fave then Francesca and Hazel. Like them all though!

Hazel or Eliza.
But I really like Charlotte or Lottie with Lucy.
Sylvie is nice but very popular where I live - there are three in my Dds year!

Favourite Sylvia. Least favourite Jemima.

Prefer Sylvie to Sylvia but adore Simone.

I think Sylvia may become nn Sylvie and I think Lucy and Sylvie sound too match. I also find Lucy and Olivia / Eliza a bit heavy on the L sounds.
I think Lucy and Sabine is lovely and so is Lucy and Jemima.

I thought Annabel before I read your post.

Sabine and Simone but love Francesca the best so many nn

My favourites are Jemima or Eliza.
There are so many Olivias and I don’t like Sabine (much prefer Sabrina).

If you want a name that's more "out there", then I wouldn't choose Olivia, pretty though it is.

I think I like Jemima, Sylvia or Simone best.

Out of your list I prefer Eliza.

But also like Charlotte as a pp has suggested

Simone
Sabine
Hazel

In that order.

Francesca then Eliza

Love Simone , don’t like Jemima at all, sorry.

Eliza is by far my favourite.
Short, sweet and lovely with Lucy.
It also has a cool but vintage vibe.

My least favourite is Francesca. I hate the inevitable Fran nn.
Sabine also feels a bit dated to me. Not in a good way. A bit 90s.

Jemima or Eliza. I've always found Hazel a bit 'fey'!

Thank you everyone, very helpful!
I dislike the nn Fran so will abandon Francesca.
I was afraid Sabine might feel a bit dated as a PP said so will reconsider.
Sylvia, well I love Sylvia but don’t like Sylvie which is very dated in France - to me it’s an entirely different name though, a bit as if Julia’s were called Julie. Is Sylvie a natural nn for Sylvia?
Olivia I love but so does all the Uk since it’s currently number one. Might be enough to put me off.

That leaves me with Eliza and Hazel. Both great options. Simone is lovely but she might find it old fashioned. I keep it in the mix though see how I feel in a few weeks!

Oh and Jemima, love Jemima still

I love Simone and Hazel, and like most of the rest.

Francesca is my least favourite and it's too fussy to go nicely with Lucy.

Lucy and Hazel sound pretty great together.

I was going to say Charlotte before I saw tour list.
Jemima or Simone are my favourites out if your choice.
Hazel is my least favourite my a country mile!

Simone all the way.

DD2 is called Lucy, she has a daughter called Eliza!

Hazel is lovely, but presumably you have family in France, does it work well in French? (Might not matter to you even if not).
