Margot Hope

Dani2206 · 21/10/2023 23:01

Sasha allegra

DaftQuestionForToday · 21/10/2023 23:04

Margot Hope

I wouldn't normally put them together, but definitely my preferred option from your lists.

Alloveragain3 · 21/10/2023 23:52

Margot Allegra but I think Margot is becoming uber popular now

Watchthedoormat · 21/10/2023 23:54

Marnie Rae
Or
Zadie Rae

OopsieeDaisy · 22/10/2023 00:19

Either Marnie Hope or Marnie Allegra. Not keen on the other first names and would steer clear of Rae as it’s so overused.

MerryChristmasToYou · 22/10/2023 12:54

Marnie - Hitchcock. Not keen
Juno - a lot to live up to. Not keen
Margot - Maggot. Likely to be very popular after Barbie film. Not keen
Nelly - the elephant. Nell is nice
Sasha - fine
Marley - and Me. Don't like it
Nixie - Big Nix (knickers). Just np
Junie/Juniper - no
Zadie - . Not keen but it's not awful
Alma - fine

Middle names
Allegra - lovely
Rae - Surname. Filler middle name usually for a naff first name
Hope - filler middle name. Makes me think Hopeless

It depends on your surname, does the first name go with it?

Allegra is by far the nicest name on your longlist

ScruffMuffin · 22/10/2023 19:35

Alma 😍

Alma Hope
followed by Alma Rae

Ilikeyourdecor · 22/10/2023 19:54

Juniper Hope or Juniper Rae.
I like Zadie Rae too.

TheHappiestChristmasTree · 22/10/2023 20:08

Sadie Hope. I really really dislike Rae- it is very overused and in my opinion a bit chavvy.

TheHappiestChristmasTree · 22/10/2023 20:10

Sorry it autocorrected! I meant Zadie!

tennaeine · 22/10/2023 20:13

Zadie Allegra or Juniper Rae

The first is fiesta the second is soft so could see what baby suited most when they arrive

tennaeine · 22/10/2023 20:14

*Feisty!

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/10/2023 09:22

Sasha Hope depending on surname

iamenougheveryday · 23/10/2023 09:24

Sasha Rae.

useitorlose · 23/10/2023 09:28

Marnie Rae

stopringingme · 23/10/2023 09:32

@Rt23

Allegra as the first name

Or

Margot Rae
Margot Allegra
Juniper Rae
Margot Sacha
Sacha Rae

I don't mind Nelly but I wouldn't choose it as a name - okay as a nickname.

Not keen on the other names.

Billlio · 23/10/2023 13:08

Absolutely love Marnie, Junie/Juniper and Nelly.

DD’s middle name is Rae so that gets my vote

PurpleChrayne · 23/10/2023 13:28

My god, none of them. All so try-hard.

Nixie sounds like a programming language.

Nixie!!!! I wouldn't.

SecretVictoria · 23/10/2023 17:42

Junie reminds me of Del Boys ex-girlfriend (I’m old though).

Nixie, no.

Rae is SO overused at the moment.
