Help deciding baby girls name?

[Purpletopaz42]

We've narrowed it down to eight, which are:

Melody
Kimberly
Lara
Ruby
Cassandra
Naomi
Kiera
Layla

Any thoughts appreciated? Thank you

Out of those I'd pick Ruby

I like Melody.

Layla.

I’d choose Naomi

Melody - cute but I'd be scared she'd just be Mel.
Kimberly - very dated but the sound is nice.
Lara - it's cute but combines trendy sounds and between all of the girls called Lyla, Layla, Laura, Lyra, Lisa she won't stand out.
Ruby - pretty, a bit 2000s dated. It's on our list.
Cassandra - on our list as well. It's nice.
Naomi - feels quite 90s.
Kiera - my husband loves this. I like it too but I'd be so worried people would always spell it Keira like the actress.
Layla - it feels tired somehow.

Ruby or Cassandra.

Kiera, Lara, Kimberly, Melody are fine too.

I like Naomi. The rest feel quite dated to me.

Melody - really like and never hear it
Kimberly - clunky. Dated.
Lara - nice
Ruby - don’t like it, really really popular at one point to the point of it being overused.
Cassandra - ok, Cassie is nice as a shortening
Naomi - like it and only know grown up ones
Kiera - I like it
Layla - love it but it’s quite popular

Lara or Ruby

Lara

I have a Ruby so I'm quite biased. Really don't like the rest, sorry

Lara

Melody Rose, I'm sure I saw a celebrity use this, it's lovely

Ruby, Naomi or Layla.
The others are a little too meh.

My favourites are Lara and Cass / Cassie (short for Cassandra).

Agree with this.

Love Naomi or Cassandra

Melody - I like it in theory, it sounds pretty, but I'm not sure I'd want to be called Melody. I feel like it would only suit certain people

Kimberly - in some ways it feels very dated, but it's actually quite refreshing compared to all the Lily', Rosie's, Ivy's etc

Lara - I like it alot

Ruby - pretty though apparently really popular though I don't know any

Cassandra - not a fan

Naomi - love it, along with Lara this is my favourite from your list

Kiera - nice enough

Layla - so bored of this name

Naomi is often pronounced Gnome y around here which isn't great.

Melody is nice but she'd be Mel.

Lara or Naomi. I also like Noemie.

Melody and Kimberly have a 90s vibe to me - I used to read American high school stories featuring characters with these types of names.
Kiera and Lara - not really a fan, very average names, a bit drab imo.
Naomi - I don't like this, never have. It's awkward to say and there are too many vowels 😂
Ruby - I do like this, it's a sweet name.
Layla and Cassandra - my favourites from the list. I don't know why they aren't more popular tbh as I feel they have a lot of the features of more popular names. I think if I had to pick one I'd go for Cassandra.

Melody - she'll be Mel. Elodie is popular, so she'll probably get called that
Kimberly - seems dated. I prefer Kim
Lara - Lots of L names currently popular
Ruby - ok
Cassandra - the best from your list
Naomi - too many different ways people say it
Kiera - too Knightley
Layla - not keen.

Melody - this is awful
Kimberly - ok
Lara - yes
Ruby - yes
Cassandra - no
Naomi - yes
Kiera - yes
Layla - no

Melody of Lara.

Will melody get shortened fo Mel? Most likely so I'd pick lads

Lara even

Melody or Cassandra
