I'm struggling to decide which name to choose. I want one that sounds nice, but also at the same time a name I hope won't result in my little angel being bullied in the future. I went through that!

So far I am thinking the following but undecided not sure which I like best.

Charla
Rebecca
Violet
Sabrina

Just interested in what the mums here think of these names. My hubby and I aren't together any more so I'm having to decide all this on my own as he's made it clear he's no longer interested in me, my DD and my unborn daughter.

TIA. x

Sabrina is lovely. Can call her Bree as a nickname! Smile

Rebecca is nice but will get shortened to Becky. That's OK too though.

Not sure about Violet.

Charla is awful. (Sorry!) Blush

I am very sorry to hear that the father of your unborn baby has fucked off and left you both. Sad How and why do some men find it so easy to do this? Confused

I'm also sorry you were bullied. Flowers

You're gonna be a great mum! Smile

Charla - Horrible. Kids will find a way to bully anyway but this is especially bad because it just looks like Charles/Charlie so it seems like a boy's name.

Rebecca - It's okay. Not my fav but nothing too bad

Violet - Very pretty

Sabrina - Gorgeous and makes me think of Sabrina Carpenter

I think both Violet and Sabrina would be lovely on a girl

Charla - an invented name, no
Rebecca - will be called Becky, awful
Violet - nice
Sabrina - nice

And suggest Sibylla or Venetia.

I'm a Rebecca and am nearly always called Rebecca. Occasionally Bex, which I can deal with but don't really like. But in the vast majority of situations I am Rebecca because that's how I started/introduced myself. I really like it but hated how many there were when I was growing up - in almost every group there had to be Rebecca, Becca, Becky and Bex - just to distinguish. Or Rebecca B, Rebecca S, Rebecca M etc. But the youngest one I know now is 14 so I think it would be fresh.

I like Sabrina too. I instantly add 'The Teenage Witch' but don't think children nowadays would.

I'm not keen on Violet because it just sounds like violent to me.

Charla sounds like an unfinished Charlotte. I love Charlotte though. Don't like Charla.
