We must have similar taste, I really like all of your choices except Holly (I don't dislike it, I just wouldn't consider it myself). I like them all so much it is hard to pick - I went for Rose, but equally love Ruby, Erin and Mabel, and do really like Darcy as well.

Round our way (council estate) every other girl is called Darcy. I'd think out of all your choices Holly is probably the least commonly used and will age better.

Dislike Darcy.

I voted Mabel but I also like Rose.

Moreteaandchocolate · 02/05/2024 12:23

I actually really like all of your choices! I voted for Rose but it was a tough choice - it just edges it for being such a classic m, timeless option! Mabel would be my second choice - I just love that name. Erin, Holly and Ruby are just lovely too. Darcy is nice but quite trendy, so might not date quite as well, if that matters to you?

Forgottenmyphone · 02/05/2024 12:29

I like them all, especially Rose and Erin, and less so for Holly. You may also like Zara, Orla and Iris?

SkaneTos · 02/05/2024 12:36

I voted for Erin, I think that's a very pretty name.

FayCarew · 02/05/2024 12:38

I can't see a list. Assuming it is:
Rose - ok
Mabel - don't like, seems dreary
Erin - not keen
Holly - ok but a bit christmassy
Ruby - ok but popular for pets
Darcy - dated and downmarket

Holly or Rose. But I much prefer Polly and Rosa or Molly and Rosie.

I see Darcy for a boy.

Mabel, Erin and Ruby are nice but nothing special.

Rose is gorgeous and Holly is a close second.

Workawayxx · 02/05/2024 12:52

I’m torn between Erin and Mabel but voted Erin as I’ve heard of a couple of Mabels but no Erins. The other names on your list are all nice, I dont have any negatives about any of them.

Can’t stand Darcy. I like Holly. Also I don’t hear it much as the others.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 02/05/2024 15:26

Only one I love personally is Rose - beautiful and very classic, quite timeless sounding.

The others sound much more trendy to me - although I quite like the look of Erin and can understand the charms of Holly for a winter baby.

Can you type and post your list?

I can't see any names (using the app).

OpenRobin · 02/05/2024 17:58

Sorry I didn't realise you can't see polls on the app. I've put the list below;

Rose
Ruby
Darcy
Erin
Mabel
Holly

Ruby gets my vote! Beautiful name

Not so keen on Darcy or Holly

Mabel, Rose and Erin are all very pretty

shoopshoopdedoo · 02/05/2024 19:59

Love Rose. Also Ruby and Erin. I do really like Mabel but it seems to be having a moment. Holly is OK. I don’t like Darcy.
