We’re trying to narrow down our girls choices and these are the current front runners. Which would you choose (and/or what else might we like?)

We do like Sophie and Katherine (nn Katie) too but already have both in the family. Surname is long and starts with a W.

I like them all in the following order
Hannah
Emily
Charlotte

AlexaShutUp · 05/11/2021 21:28

I really wanted to use Hannah but DH wasn't keen. Sad

I love all of your names, you have great taste. Smile Alice might be another one to throw into the mix as it sort of seem to fit. As does my dd's name but I can't say it on here.Wink

Ah thanks everyone, nice to see lots of comments about them being lovely names as I do love them all! I think Hannah is in the lead here and in my head too: I agree it’s the least used whilst still being quite classic and I like that.

(I also love Alice, thanks @AlexaShutUp for that suggestion in particular Smile)

Another vote for hannah!!!

AgnesNaismith · 05/11/2021 21:51

I’ve never met a nice Hannah

AlexaShutUp · 05/11/2021 21:53

@AgnesNaismith

I’ve never met a nice Hannah
And I've never met one who isn't absolutely lovely!!
TattySlippers · 05/11/2021 21:54

Emily, Charlotte, Hannah. In that order

vampofsavannahga · 05/11/2021 22:02

I was going to be named Emily but my parents decided I wasn’t dainty enough 😂 so I ended up as another of the names on the list - let's just say I’m gratified as the results of your straw poll 😂 (except for the comment about never meeting a nice Hannah, I'll have you know I’m lovely 😂😂)

WaitinginVain · 05/11/2021 22:03

Charlotte definitely.

Not a fan of the others but Hannah's my least favourite.

BettyfromBristol · 05/11/2021 22:06

Hannah. Because it is lovely, and because it would be quirky and cool to have a palindrome for a name.

Kitkat151 · 05/11/2021 22:10

Hannah
I also like Catherine ( not with a K)

Iwant2move · 05/11/2021 22:10

Hannah.

TillyDevon · 05/11/2021 22:14

So rare I love all the names! Struggling to choose actually, i think I like Charlotte most of all. Can you please also choose my boy’s name Grin

Hoolihan · 05/11/2021 22:16

I think all three are a bit boring but Hannah is the best of the bunch. I really really love Anna and sometimes wish I had used it for my daughter instead of the name we picked. How about Esther, Rachel or Helen?

Fivebeanchilli · 06/11/2021 00:15

My dd is 18 now but the most popular girls' name in her secondary school was Hannah, closely followed by Anna. I know so many Hannahs (and unlike the earlier posters I know quite a few who are annoying). I don't dislike the name but I find it a bit simpering and it doesn't feel very substantial.
They're all too popular for me but otherwise I would go for Charlotte which I love them Emily which is ok then Hannah.

Marcipex · 06/11/2021 00:19

Emily
Charlotte
Anna (really not keen on Hannah)

Pemba · 06/11/2021 00:42

I agree, Emily is lovely, but Charlotte and Hannah are also very nice names. Although, like some pps I really prefer Anna to Hannah.

Nice to see classic names being chosen, instead of some of the weird faddy choices a lot of new parents are making these days.

lemongirl1985 · 06/11/2021 02:57

My Hannah is 3 weeks old 💖 go for it!

Purplesparkle34 · 06/11/2021 06:50

Charlotte. I love Lottie as a nickname

MsTSwift · 06/11/2021 06:57

Can’t get excited about any of them sorry - popular super dull names. I would want something more special for my child. Not a crazy name but not one of these over used ones.

Something like Miranda, Susannah, Mary, Hester something still classic but refreshing rather than just using the same few names that everyone else uses.

MissMarplesGoddaughter · 06/11/2021 06:59

Another vote for Hannah. Just beautiful :)

CampagVelocet · 06/11/2021 07:01

Hannah. Emily is so bland and overdone; it's the white bread of names. Charlotte isn't bland but is becoming very popular (if that bothers you). Hannah is lovely and you hear us far less often.

GoodnightGrandma · 06/11/2021 07:02

Emily is my favourite, Hannah I like and is possibly less heard of.
