Lucy and Julia

DoggusDomesticus · 31/01/2024 16:52

Alice.

Alice

HarrietStyles · 31/01/2024 17:34

They all make me picture women aged 30 to 50. A bit dated….. but not dated enough to be fashionable again!

Only one I personally like for a baby/child is Violet.

I like Violet, Alice and Saskia and these would I choose. I think Diana and Julia are too much middle aged kind of dated, but they are all perfectly acceptable names. Jessica and Lucy are just fine and boring

DinaofCloud9 · 31/01/2024 18:00

Lucy is very boring and Julia is dated.

Dinoland · 31/01/2024 18:14

Don't go for Diana - people will assume you're royalists. You might well be but there will be many people who will look down their noses at that and will judge your DD accordingly.
The rest are lovely (aside from Saskia)

Cotswoldmama · 31/01/2024 18:18

I quite like Julia have you thought about Sylvia or Sylvie?

PossomPatrol · 31/01/2024 18:21

Alice & Julia are lovely, Jessica is nice too.

Least favourites are Saskia and Diana.

Sandysandwich · 31/01/2024 18:37

Violet and Alice

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/01/2024 18:39

Saskia, Jessica Lucy

Jessieshome · 31/01/2024 18:40

Alice or Julia.

lollydu · 31/01/2024 18:40

Alice and Diana - it's really interesting how much Jessica has stood the test of time so far, lots of 30-40 year olds with this name but I still see little Jessica's around too!

VincentVanGoth · 31/01/2024 18:42

MaloneMeadow · 31/01/2024 15:43

Alice 100%. Not a fan of Saskia as I feel it’s a bit chavvy but I adore Sasha

It’s strange, I see Saskia as a bit posh!

I like Diana and Julia from your list

Holidayhell22 · 31/01/2024 18:42

Saskia is my favourite. I’ve always liked the name. Though I think it’s quite marmite.

MyBrownEyedHandsomeBoy · 31/01/2024 18:48

Violet

thatneverhappened · 31/01/2024 18:49

Alice

Twazique · 31/01/2024 18:54

A little Diana would be so cute!

I also wonder if it needs a few more years for a comeback.
Instead I suggest

Helena

HuntingoftheSnark · 31/01/2024 19:56

Alice

FloofCloud · 31/01/2024 19:57

Violet or Saskia

GrandDuchessOfBillericay · 31/01/2024 20:06

Saskia
Diana
Alice
Jessica
Lucy
Julia
Violet

In that order.

Sash95 · 31/01/2024 22:27

Jessica, followed by Alice.
I also like Lucy, but prefer Lucia.
The only name on your list I dislike is Violet.

KayEmAy · 31/01/2024 22:29

Saskia
