Which girls name do you prefer?

[sunshineday223]

Hallie
Isabel / Isabelle
Lottie (but not Charlotte)
Madeleine / Madeline

Thanks in advance!

Madeleine.

Hallie - seems modern and made up. I can't see the appeal.
Isabel / Isabelle - overused
Lottie (but not Charlotte) - people will assume it's short for Charlotte.
Madeleine / Madeline - Madeleine is ok but not keen on Maddie

Lottie! Great name

Hallie.

Hallie or Lottie

Madeline or Isabel. I prefer the Isobel spelling though

Nobody has ever assumed that my Lottie is Charlotte, or even asked!

I like Madeleine and Isabel.
Lottie is ok.
I really don’t like Hallie.

Madeleine and Isabelle

Exactly this
Although I do like the name

@Heckythump1 , not yet. I'm going by names like Tony and Mandy, where people assume they are Mr A. Surname and Ms A Surname. Neither has a longer name on their birth certificate.
I also know a Tom and Alex, who aren't Thomas and Alexander, and a Charlie who is not Charlotte

I like Isabel and love Lottie, but I’d personally only use as a nickname for Charlotte, even if Charlotte is never used. I know this divides opinion on here, though!

Madeline is OK. I really don’t like Hallie.

I know a Hallie who is 3. I know very many Issy's (Isabelle/ Isabella) from about 8-14. I love Lottie. I like Charlotte too. I was going to call Ds1 Madeleine but I know a few Maddies and I think the full name is a bit if a mouthful.

Madeline.

How about Julia or Juliette?

I like Hallie

Hallie. Others are old fashioned.

Love all of them but probably:

1. Madeleine/Hallie (tied!)
2. Lottie
3. Isabel

Isabel.

would you consider other names

@whatsyourpoison12 - yes absolutely!

@MerryMarigold I do really like Juliet but my DH isn't keen :/

@Heckythump1 ah that's good to know! I do think Lottie is such a sweet name!

@BeeBB I do worry about it becoming a stressful thing!

I have a 3 year old who is also very opinionated on this subject! For some unknown reason she is not at all happy with Madeline or Hallie but seems to be okay with Isabel or Lottie. Her fave names are Annabelle (I assume due to the baby Annabelle doll) or Serena (no idea where that's come from!) I like Serena but DH doesn't! Although not sure how much I should really consider a 3yo's opinion! 😅

Love Lottie

Ooh what's your 3 year old called? That could change things completely!

Don't allow your DD to choose, she's three! I'm surprised she's not suggesting Peppa, Dora or maybe Barbie. (Actually, Dora is OK).

I think Madeline/Madeleine or Isabel/Isobel are absolutely gorgeous names. Isabel has been so popular for quite a few years though, so going by that I'd pick Madeline.

Lottie is a bit cutesy especially as a standalone name, not short for Charlotte. I do think Charlotte is a nice name (although not so much as Madeline or Isabel). IMO, the 'char' bit is the most beautiful part of 'Charlotte, not the' lotte' bit, so a standalone Lottie is cheated out of that!

Hallie, hmm, it's OK I suppose.

@sunshineday223 , your 3-yr old will probably suggest the name of a doll or cartoon character, and should have no say.
DC2 got no say in naming DC1.

Having said that, I do know 2 siblings and the elder one chose her sister's name. They both have fairly similar names, and she said it was the name of a character in a book. Her parents liked it.

Isabel
