I like Poppy, I don't like the others (Sorry)

GiantTortoise · 15/09/2022 06:21

In order:
Poppy - love
Cara - really nice
Lily - I like this but it's probably the most popular
Kiera / Elsa - not my cup of tea

ScarlettDarling · 15/09/2022 06:22

Love Poppy, others I’m not too keen

Stripperyone · 15/09/2022 06:25

Poppy -I've known two strippers with this name. And a fair few dogs/hamsters. I do like it though.
Elsa-Let it Goooooooo.. a bit drab/twee
Kiera-I don't like 'K' names as a rule but It's not so nice generally, a lot of much nicer names out there.
Lily-Lovely but a bit wet
Cara-Love

Cervinia · 15/09/2022 06:27

I like poppy and Iily, flower names are always classic.

not Elsa, too Disney.

cara is nice and more unusual

kiera, nah. It’s a bit common, I know loads from 27 to 10 in age. Not all the same spelling.

CrabbitBastard · 15/09/2022 06:54

Lily would probably work best with an 'er' surname. Poppy is also nice.

KangarooKenny · 15/09/2022 06:59

Just Poppy.

vroom321 · 15/09/2022 07:07

Kiera or Cara

Snugglemonkey · 15/09/2022 07:09

I hate the spelling of Kiera, it is just misspelt. I like Cara. The others are ok, but very popular, so that would put me off a bit.

Wilburisagirl · 15/09/2022 07:10
  1. Kiera (was my 2nd choice for my baby)
  2. Cara
  3. Lily
  4. Poppy (pretty but where I live it's a nickname for Grandfathers)
  5. Elsa (pretty but I just think of Frozen).
Mumofgirls2017 · 15/09/2022 07:55

Poppy- bit overdone and wet
Elsa- like, but v assoc w frozen
Kiera- dated
Lily- bit bland
Cara- ok

Rutland2022 · 15/09/2022 08:02

Poppy - it’s ok, but doesn’t sing to me
Elsa - no. It’s a nice enough name but Frozen has turned it into naff
Kiera - not my cup of tea. Although I prefer Ciara in terms of how it looks written
Lily - so overused. It’s fine but dull at the moment
Cara - best of the bunch. I like it.

But what I think is completely it relevant! If you love Elsa then have an Elsa. Sod mumsnet opinions 😊

KirstenBlest · 15/09/2022 09:10

Poppy - nice but I know a few dogs with the name
Elsa - nice but I'd let it go
Kiera - weird spelling. Ciara/Keira/Kira
Lily - nice but overused, dislike Lil
Cara - ok

Weefreetiffany · 15/09/2022 09:14

Careful with names that end in an “a” and surnamed that end “er” bit awkward

Cara Turner would be an awful name for a girl, like Theresa green etc joke wears thin quickly

Chickpea17 · 15/09/2022 09:17

Poppy - Poppy is so overused at the moment 3 at my daughter Nursery

Elsa - no

Kiera - weird spelling but ok

Lily - nice

Cara - no

DinaofCloud9 · 15/09/2022 09:24

I like Cara. The others are very common if that makes a difference to you. Some people don't like names that are extremely popular.

SatInTheCorner · 15/09/2022 09:39

Cara although prefer Carla and Clara.

Brendabigbaps · 15/09/2022 09:45

Poppy - way too many poppys about, it’s getting more and more popular
Elsa - frozen! It was on my list, 6mths before frozen came out, after the lion, I’m so glad we didn’t use it.
Kiera - not bad, not good
Lily - again lots of Lilly’s out there at the moment
Cara - I know a few older high school girls and I wouldn’t want my daughter hanging out with them

Mummytobe333 · 15/09/2022 10:07

I like Kiera.
Personally don’t like many flower names so Poppy / Lilly is a no for me.
Cara is very 90s for me. What about Cora ?(love this name, kinda similar but more modern)
Elsa is nice but same as others just think of Frozen.

So my vote is Kiera 😊

Wouldloveanother · 15/09/2022 10:09

Thanks everyone. Not at all bothered about popularity, just whether they sound nice or not.
I have to say Cora reminds me of an apple core! My favourites are Poppy and Elsa, DH loves Kiera.

If you're not bothered by popularity then Lily - it's so beautiful A lovely list! Also love Poppy

Luredbyapomegranate · 15/09/2022 17:28

Elsa popular but lovely
Kiera - nice, though prefer the original Ciara, better choice than Elsa if you don’t want a very popular name

Cara - OK, bit meh, prefer Clara

Poppy - wet and babyish
Lily - ditto

yikesanotherbooboo · 15/09/2022 17:45

I like Cara
I used to like Elsa but the Frozen connection has slightly tainted it for me; not sure why.
