Thea is lovely. I also like Lucy and Freya.

YearsWentByFast · 31/08/2024 06:14

I really like Lara.

Congratulations. 😊

Holidayhell22 · 31/08/2024 06:54

Lois or Sadie.

hulahoopqueen · 31/08/2024 06:55

Lucy/Lucie and Freya get my vote

gillybombilly · 31/08/2024 06:56

Lara is beautiful - congratulations 😊

ineedtogwtoutbeforeitatoohot · 31/08/2024 07:05

Freya. Gorgeous name

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 31/08/2024 07:06

Great list.

Lara Freya or Sadie

RuthW · 31/08/2024 07:06

Felicity is lovely

glitches78 · 31/08/2024 07:11

Felicity

VerbenaGirl · 31/08/2024 07:11

Lara
Lois
Thea
Freya

OopsieeDaisy · 31/08/2024 07:14

Lara is lovely - that’s my favourite from your list. I also like Sadie, Felicity and Lucy. Thea is nice but done to death where I live.

theduchessofspork · 31/08/2024 07:15

Lois or Felicity

I’d go for Lois from your description.

The rest are overdone other than Sadie which is a bit barmaid

BoleynMemories13 · 31/08/2024 07:17

Lara is the one that stands out to me. Lovely name.

Firsttimebabymummy · 31/08/2024 07:52

Freya is my favourite from your list but they're all lovely

wafflesmgee · 31/08/2024 07:56

Lois is my favourite.
Next I'd say Lara.
Sadie is my least, reminds me of the word sadist...?
Congratulations!

Moreteaandchocolate · 31/08/2024 10:30

Lucy, Lara and Freya are all gorgeous. I also like Sadie and Thea a lot. I think I’d pick Lara - it sounds perfect for your daughter’s colouring to me 🤩

KirstenBlest · 31/08/2024 11:27

Yes: Lucy - classic and pretty

Maybe:
Sadie - a bit nicknamey but nice
Lara - OK but I much prefer Laura
Lois - nice enough name from the Bible (Low-is/Loyce depending on language, both nice)
Felicity - nice meaning but will get shortened. Fliss is OK.

No: Thea, Freya

Dandysandy · 31/08/2024 14:44

Of your original shortlist I'd go for Thea or Freya.

Of the choices in your second shortlist, Felicity.

KirstenBlest · 31/08/2024 14:46

Lovely. I'd pick Lois Felicity.

BeaLola · 31/08/2024 14:58

Lois

Derrymum123 · 31/08/2024 15:02

Lois then Felicity.

KirstenBlest · 31/08/2024 15:07

Lois and Lara are both nice, Felicity is lovely, but I prefer it in full so suggest it as a middle name.

Congratulations on your beautiful baby Flowers

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 31/08/2024 16:50

Lara is stunning imo- short, sweet and well used internationally. Plus it has two distinct images - romantic classic Doctor Zhivago (with her own Lara’s theme song) or cool video game heroine Lara Croft. So hopefully one or the other would appeal to her

Dandysandy · 31/08/2024 16:51

Yes we were both saying Felicity is a lovely name but we're not that keen on the potential nicknames, so would maybe have Felicity as middle name.
So maybe..
Lois Felicity
Lara Felicity
