I lovee Lyla, very pretty and gorgeous. Lyra is also very nice

Isla is quite nice too but very popular.

Not a huge fan of Arabella to be honest; it is a little frilly. I like Belle, Isabelle, Annabel etc. though but they are all popular.

I agree with all of this 😊

I agree with all of this 😊

Me too!

BoleynMemories13 · 23/10/2024 21:45

Also agree with everything @StressedQueen said!

Melissa is so pretty and so under used
Isla is used so frequently now

Arabella always makes me think small round bratty girl that goes to a private school - no idea why !

Mumofgirls2017 · 23/10/2024 22:36

They’re nice. I’d probably pick Lyla. Other ideas

delilah
lyra
annabelle
aurora
arya
ava
ida
ayla
luna
lula
lara
isabella
skye
mila
riley
cora

SkaneTos · 23/10/2024 23:20

Other ideas

Cara
Ivette/Yvette
Dana
Erika
Clarissa
Amandine

Isla is okay.

I personally don't like either of the others.

miniaturepixieonacid · 24/10/2024 01:17

I like all 3. All quite popular currently in the 0 - 12 kind of age range but none of them are ridiculously overused (Isla might be approaching this category but it's a lovely name so who cares!)

I think Arabella is my favourite.

Iona
Laetitia
Ondine
Clara

shoopshoopdedoo · 24/10/2024 06:54

Like Lyla the best
Isla is nice too

Really don’t like Arabella

Almost totally agree with the first poster, actually, except I also dislike Belle and Isabelle for being too frilly/princessy. Don’t mind the suggestion of Annabel though, if spelt like that!

LoudPlumDog · 24/10/2024 09:39

Arabella

KirstenBlest · 24/10/2024 11:16

Isla - pretty but overused
Lyla - I don't like it. Too many similar names like Lily, Lyra, Lola, Lila, Lilah, Delilah, Luna , Layla.
Arabella - pretty but too long and will be Bella or Ella. It's bit too frilly and Ella and Bella are meh.

OopsieeDaisy · 24/10/2024 21:42

Isla is lovely and not particularly common where I live. Lyla/Lilah is generally a very chavvy name where I’m from though this doesn’t seem to be the case everywhere. Arabella sounds pretentious to me, Annabel/Annabelle is much nicer!

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 24/10/2024 21:49

Delilah

user1492757084 · 26/10/2024 14:34

Isla is my fave.
The others are sweet.

Do you like Anne, Sibyl or Cibella
