Hi all, apologies for a final name post but our daughter is here and a few days old and we have agreed to choose her name this weekend as we don’t have the same favourite. I’m not interested in any other names but please could you rank my list below from favourite to least favourite:

Phoebe
Clara
Sophie
Beatrice
Poppy

Thank you!

Really hate Poppy, it's so horribly twee. And think both that and Clara don't really suit adults. The others all work well at any age.

Not sure this thread is going to be that helpful though, everybody seems to have completely different opinions!

Aw congratulations! How special.

Beatrice - really like Bea, pretty cool

None of the others really do it for me, they’d all be equally in 2nd place :)

@luckylavender , Hell would freeze over before I’d use the same name as Boris Johnson Doesn't that limit the number of names available to only a few? Smile

They’re all nice though, can’t go wrong with that list.

Anything but Poppy. It's an okay name for toddlers, but it's a rubbish name for an adult.

It's hard enough for women to be taken seriously in the workplace. Poppy just isn't a serious name.
