I promise this is my last post. I think we have a final shortlist (although DH isn’t sure about a couple of them). We don’t mind about popularity so that isn’t an issue for us. With that in mind, what are your thoughts on the names below?

Thank you!

Isabella
Grace
Verity
Lilah (or Lila)
Ophelia
Mabel
Allegra
Olivia

Too many Ophelias around!

Not keen on Lilo and its variants.

Isabella, Grace and Olivia are all nice names, but just ... names.

Allegra - no way

Mabel - you might regret it. I'd be put off by the number of people on here who have already managed to mis-spell it.

Verity is nice, but very, very popular on here, which would put me off

Maud/e? Adelaide?

Mabel yes yes - others not so much either ubiquitous or as pp said, requiring a certain type of surname to work

Best - Grace
Worst - Verity
