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

Naomi 💯

Ruby - cute but not special

Cassandra - ok, I like Cassie - Cassia is less tragic though

Lara - nice but so many Lola/Luna/Leila/Leah/Lyra/Lena/Lila names - it’s all very Lala blahblah

Kiera - ok

Kimberly - it’s very dated 80s but Kim is nice so ok

Melody - no because she’ll end up being called Mel

Layla - Lara is nicer

Ruby

Melody - sounds very 80s.
Kimberly - also very dated. Also I can't hear the name without hearing Victoria Wood in my head
Lara - lovely. I slightly prefer Clara but Lara is lovely
Ruby - it's ok. Super popular 16-20 years ago but maybe has declined a little since then. Definitely a lot more popular than many of your other choices
Cassandra - I just can never get past the prophet of doom thing. Cassia is so much nicer in my view
Naomi - nice
Kiera - again dated. Ciara is a nicer spelling
Layla - ok

Lara wins hands-down for me. Naomi second.
Ciara or Cassia would be up there as well.

Lara or Layla

Ruby or Kiera (Ciara)

Love Naomi

Only go for Kimberly or Cassandra if you like Kim and Cassie as well. They will be shortened.

All perfectly acceptable names and my favourite is Naomi

Layla or Naomi for me. These are all fine though.

The only change I'd make would be to spell Ciara correctly rather than Anglicise it.

I love Ruby. It's beautiful name

My favourite is Naomi from your list.
They're all nice names though.

I really like Kimberley, I think it’s one of the nicer 80s names.

There are 2 Lara’s, a Lana, a Leila, a Layla, a Lena and a Lyra in my dd’s nursery class of 25 - they’re all nice names but they do mingle together a bit.

love Cassandra
