We're pretty set on our boy name- Aidan but still undecided about a girl name as there are so many we both like. We're based in N.I so some of the names are quite popular here. What are your thoughts on

Nora
Catherine
Lucy
Aoife
Isla
Clara

I like Isla and Clara. Lucy and Catherine are very inoffensive though not really my taste.

DarkDarkNight · 21/11/2023 21:58

I love Nora and Clara out of your list. I also like Aoife and Lucy. Not so keen on Catherine or Isla.

theduchessofspork · 21/11/2023 21:59

I’d go for Clara - I don’t think it’s used much in NI - it’s both pretty and classic

Catherine is lovely and not used much for little girls now

Nora - frumpy (sorry)
Lucy - fine but a bit twee
Aoife - ok but so many Eve sounding names
Isla - lovely but way overdone. Ida or Iona maybe?

shoopshoopdedoo · 21/11/2023 22:00

I love Nora. Like Aoife and Lucy. Clara is OK. Less keen on Isla and Catherine.

Holidayhell22 · 21/11/2023 22:01

I like them all except Nora.

SkaneTos · 21/11/2023 22:34

Those are all lovely names!

user1492757084 · 22/11/2023 05:42

All are beautiful to me except for Nora.
.. and I prefer Claire to Clara.

Ionapussy · 22/11/2023 07:15

I know Nora is trendy but I think it's awful(!)

Your other names are lovely. Isla is v common where I am in the UK but Catherine is unusual now. Lucy is my favourite.

WaltzingWaters · 22/11/2023 07:18

My favourite is Aoife. Have a lovely friend called Aoife but she has had a lot of trouble with people spelling and pronouncing it whilst we’ve travelled.
Nora and Clara also lovely.

AnonymousArmadillo · 22/11/2023 07:20

Nora - love this
Catherine - meh
Lucy - meh
Aoife - I’m biased but this is the best one (DD2’s name!)
Isla - nice but so overused.
Clara - take the L out and it’s beautiful (and then becomes DD1’s name!)

Mumofgirls2017 · 22/11/2023 07:25

Clara

nora or Aoife second

Ittastesvile · 22/11/2023 07:47

I love Catherine!

LimeOrangeLemon · 22/11/2023 07:50

Clara is my favourite, then Lucy.

KirstenBlest · 22/11/2023 08:48

Nora - ok
Catherine - like
Lucy - like but short L names are very popular
Aoife - ok, but falls into the Evie, Ava, Eva trend
Isla - too popular
Clara - don't like

finalspincycle · 24/11/2023 09:59

I absolutely love Clara.

Lucy is beautiful and classic - a name that never seems to age, as I know Lucy's of all ages.

I also really like Catherine, and this is my favourite spelling.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 26/11/2023 23:17

Love Catherine
Hate Nora.
All the others are ok.

SiennaMillar · 27/11/2023 21:29

Lucy

peaceinourtime · 29/11/2023 08:15

Isla has been done to death, please think twice about the possibility of using it.

MissBuffyAnneSummers · 29/11/2023 08:20

Catherine and Lucy
