Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It’s a lovely name list! I like Lucy and Charlotte as classic and pretty names that aren’t crazy popular and unlikely to date, and then also like Cora, Flora and Rosie in that order. None that I strongly dislike on your list, but less keen on Verity, Henrietta and Lydia. Good luck!

Thanks everyone! Really helpful.

We’ve now definitely ruled out Bonnie and Cora - I think some of the comments I agree with. My husband doesn’t like Verity so that’s gone. I did google the thing about Pippa being a rude word.
I also agree we probably can’t do Charlotte as it’s quite common - but will make a lovely middle name (think we might have that one locked down now?)

big thanks! Appreciate the time you took to reply

Bonnie - lovely.
Lara - lovely.
Pippa - not keen.
Eliza - not keen.
Lucy - not keen.
Lydia - not keen.
Rosie - lovely but might be too common.
Charlotte - lovely but might be too common.
Camilla - not keen.
Verity - not keen.
Henrietta - no.
Flora - no.
Cora - no but I love Coral.

From your list I would choose Lara.

Another vote for Verity

Lovely list, similar to mine when I had my DD a few months ago, we went with Lucy and I love it now though it is relatively common.
Other names I liked but didn't go with for various reasons were Rose, Clara, Robyn, Flora, Isobelle, Anna and Hannah

Charlotte
Lucy
Amelia
Elizabeth
Emily
Emma
Harriet

Love Bonnie, Lydia and verity. I'd probably go for Lydia tho if it was my choice because it's the easiest one to shorten.

Lara and Charlotte are lovely. Prefer Rose to Rosie and not too keen on the others. Would you extend Eliza to Elizabeth?

Love Cora the best 💓 like Lydia too
