Hi there,
I love all of the below names, partner doesn’t like Lydia but it’s one of my faves. I love Amy but worry it’s a bit plain. Which one would you go for? I think I like Amy best! Thanks 😀
FYI May and Anne are family middle names, Louise is my name as I think I’d like it in there somewhere!

Lydia May
Lucy May
Amy Louise
Zoe Anne
Georgina May

Lucy over Zoe definitely, it's really beautiful. I think any of the middle names would work really, they're all nice enough.

Even though your name is Louise, I don't think Lucy would cause a lot of confusion, mainly because they really do make quite different sounds and it isn't like it's names for a sister set so I think it's fine.

My favourite of all the names from the 1st list is Lydia though, it's gorgeous but if not then Lucy.

Lucy or Zoe but not sure about Zoe Anne

Mumofgirls2017 · 18/05/2023 09:48

I like Lucy best.

TeamSleep · 18/05/2023 09:50

Amy is one of my favourite names, a classic. Lucy is up there too. The rest are nice, all lovely names.

Whatames · 18/05/2023 09:51

I love Lucy and Zoe: classic and timeless. Not keen on Lydia

booktokbear · 18/05/2023 09:52

I love Zoe, but Zoe Louise sounds better the Zoe Anne?

Don't like Lydia I'm sorry.

Luredbyapomegranate · 18/05/2023 13:33

I think Louise and Lucy are very similar, so it’s a bit odd. Amy is a wee bit dull.

Zoe
Lydia
Georgina

In that order, I’d try and use two middle names if you are using May, as it’s such a cliche

This is my and my daughters name 🤭 oh well I like the similarity and don't think it's odd. I spoke to a few people before naming her and no one even noticed the similarity until I pointed it out.

There are no names that everyone will like so best to go with what suits you

mumonherphone · 18/05/2023 18:04

Lucy Anne

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 18/05/2023 18:37

Lucy is a great name.

I like all the names on the list tbh, they're classic names.

17caterpillars1mouse · 18/05/2023 21:02

I like Amy Anne

Amy Louise sounds too 80s

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/05/2023 22:08

Elegant Lydia would be my pick, followed by Georgina (with it's nice variety of nn's) - I'm personally less keen on the e/ie/y ending names as they often sound a bit "cute" to me.

I'd also go for Louise as a middle name (alliterative Lydia Louise sounds especially cool imo!) as I love the idea of mum's name as middle name.

I understand May and Anne are family names too but May is so overused as a middle name this generation it feels generic (although would make a lovely first name choice!) and Anne is the previous generations generic middle name option (although Ann/a again makes a nice first name?)

ICMB · 18/05/2023 22:13

I’ve always loved Amy too, Amy Louise for the win

Newnamenewname109870 · 18/05/2023 22:14

Lucie Louise Anne

MadEyeMoodysEye · 18/05/2023 22:14

Georgina Louise
Followed by Lydia Louise

Newnamenewname109870 · 18/05/2023 22:14

Or Amy Louise Anne

Newnamenewname109870 · 18/05/2023 22:15

Aimee is a slightly more unusual spelling

SquigglePigs · 18/05/2023 22:17

I love all of them!

Zoe was on my shortlist for DD so would win for me.

atcrossroad · 18/05/2023 22:25

Zoe

DinaofCloud9 · 18/05/2023 22:29

Lucy and Amy are a bit dated.
Zoe is lovely.
I'm not a fan of Lydia.
Georgina is nice but different to all your other names.

Daisypain · 18/05/2023 22:30

Lucy

Not sure of the middle names.

PumpkinPie77 · 18/05/2023 22:41

Amy louise
Lucy Louise
Zoe Louise

user1492757084 · 19/05/2023 07:18
