Between the following if a girl:

Clara
Eliza
Olivia
Phoebe
Grace

Also, if a boy, is Henry a bad choice to use if there is a cousin called Harry?

Thank you!

Clara

Yes, Henry is fine if Harry is a cousin, not brother.

stopringingme · 06/10/2024 09:50

Clara, Eliza or Phoebe in that order.

In fact, I don't have anything against any of the names listed.

Henry is a great name.

user1492757084 · 06/10/2024 10:17

All names are great.

My faves, in order, are.. Eliza, Grace, Phoebe.

Elderberrier · 06/10/2024 10:18

Clara and Phoebe. Yes the Harry thing is fine!

Greenerbright · 06/10/2024 10:21

Clara, Phoebe or Eliza.

Olivia is very overdone, but a nice name, Grace is nice too but very overdone as a middle name.

I would use Henry

I also would pick Phoebe out of your list.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 06/10/2024 11:12

Clara
Henry lovely and completely ok to use

yikesanotherbooboo · 06/10/2024 11:13

Eliza for me
Henry is no problem

AdaColeman · 06/10/2024 11:22

Clara!

TomatoSandwiches · 06/10/2024 11:26

Clara is the best of your girls names imo.
Henry is fine with a cousin named Harry.

Katielovesteatime · 06/10/2024 11:28

Clara, Phoebe and Eliza are all nice. Probably Clara as I think it's slightly less popular than the others?

BaronessBomburst · 06/10/2024 11:29

I like Clara and Phoebe.
DS likes Olivia (yes, he loves a baby names thread 😂).
Henry is fine to use.

Gemstonebeach · 06/10/2024 11:31

Phoebe Olivia or Clara Phoebe.

Henry and Harry fine, I have Kate, Katherine and Caitlin cousins.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 06/10/2024 11:32

Eliza, Clara, Phoebe, Grace in that order

I don't like Olivia at all anymore; there are just SO MANY now...

Firsttimebabymummy · 06/10/2024 11:40

Clara and Pheobe in that order.

Henry is nice and fine to use xx

Giggorata · 06/10/2024 11:44

Clara for me and I also like Henry, even if there is a Harry in the vicinity.

Mumofgirls2017 · 06/10/2024 12:35

Clara, or eliza
love Henry, depends on size of family I think

DuchessOfSausage · 06/10/2024 14:25

Clara - I don't like it
Eliza - not keen on it
Olivia - nice but very popular
Phoebe - like
Grace - like but it might not suit her.

Phoebe is probably the one I'd pick if I had to.

Henry is OK.

123Theplotthickens · 06/10/2024 14:31

All are nice names my favourites are Clara, Eliza and Grace. I'd say them out loud with surname and see which you like the sound of.

I have a nephew called Henry and deliberately avoided Harry for that reason. I do think though I probably was cautious because my sibling is very precious.

This.

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 06/10/2024 14:41

Grace or Eliza. But I agree about the surname point - mine starts with an "s" so I ruled out Alice.

shoopshoopdedoo · 06/10/2024 15:07

I love Phoebe. Others are nice enough, though I find Eliza and Clara a little bit twee. Grace is nice but I’d worry in case she turned out to be clumsy!

Henry is fine with cousin Harry.

Raininginparadise2 · 06/10/2024 15:31

Eliza Grace🥰 Henry is fine.

user2848502016 · 06/10/2024 15:41

Clara is lovely

Moreteaandchocolate · 06/10/2024 17:34

My order of preference would be -

  1. Clara (love, would choose if I had another girl)
  2. Phoebe (love)
  3. Eliza (love)
  4. Grace (nice but I know a few non-graceful Graces…!)
  5. Olivia (just so overdone where I live)

Harry and Henry are good for cousins.
