Sorry, this isn't my first name post but I want to make sure we get it right and am still feeling a little indecisive. We already have an Emily and are expecting our second daughter in April. Which do you like best and goes the most please (all would go with our surname).

Olivia
Florence
Clara
Phoebe
Isabella

Thank you.

In order:

Phoebe
Clara
Florence
Isabella
Olivia

They're all nice, but Isabella and Olivia in particular are overused. Clara is having a moment, I believe!

sunshineonarainyday6 · 23/02/2022 17:37

@itssquidstella you might be right about Clara having a moment. I wondered that too. I also worry about the way it is said/I pronounce it in case it doesn't sound that nice.

I don't like Florence or Phoebe but the other names are beautiful. Isabella is my favourite!

Clara

Phoebe

Sillybillypoopoomummy · 23/02/2022 19:42

I have a Phoebe so am obviously biased. However I also love Clara. There are lots of little girls called Olivia and Florence here...

Liv999 · 23/02/2022 21:01

Clara is beautiful and goes really well with Emily

33goingon64 · 23/02/2022 21:03

You've got a lovely shortlist.
Why not wait to meet her and see what comes naturally?

GiantSpider · 23/02/2022 21:04

Clara

EugeniaGrace · 23/02/2022 21:05

Clara Florence

(And another thumbs up to April despite being mooted by the op)

I don't like the CL sound for Clara

I vote April Grin

Sillybillypoopoomummy · 23/02/2022 21:31

I should add that I know an Emily Isabella.. so they do go together, just a lot of Isabellas locally too. What about just Bella or Tess?

Glitterheart · 23/02/2022 21:47

I have a Clara - I’ve only met one other and no one has mispronounced it! It’s a beautiful name (and incidentally I am an Emily - have always loved my name!). My Clara is Clara Alice but Clara Florence is beautiful x

LesLavandes · 23/02/2022 21:48

Florence will be shortened to Flo. Are you ok with that?

WeasilyPleased · 23/02/2022 23:07

Florence Isabella.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 24/02/2022 00:13

Emily is pretty classic imo - the ones I know have sisters named Catherine, Anna, Charlotte, Lucy, Hannah. I also love Alice with Emily.

Despite it's current popularity, of your choices I somehow feel like Olivia works best in terms of "matching" Emily, although classic Isabel also feels much more in style with Emily to me (than slightly "frillier" Isabella).

Florence and Clara are really lovely names but do seem quite retro/vintage trendy in comparison if that matters and I can't love Phoebe, sorry (it works fine with Emily but I've just never liked the name personally Grin).

Rosieposie101 · 24/02/2022 04:25

Clara

urbanbuddha · 24/02/2022 05:09

Isabel.
Or Phoebe.
Clara is definitely having a moment.
