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!

I doubt that will be the case by the time this baby is an adult. i agree. She'll be working with Alfie, Teddy, Elsie, Daisy, Rosie ...

Way out in front by a long chalk
Clara

Beatrice, although every other girl I know lately is a Bea of some sort

Phoebe, not a big fan, but much better than the remaining two

Sophie
Poppy

Neither of those names seem to fit with the aesthetics of the previous three?

I dislike the initial ‘Clar’ sound in Clara. Love Lara though!

I've listed my order above, but I don't think you can go too far wrong with this list op.

Maybe just pick your gut favourite, as you can see we are all all over the place! I don't think you'll find a pattern!

My 11 year old DD loves the name Poppy and would put that name second (because the first name is her name and she loves that more!)

I'd keep them in the order you posted them.

I'd move Poppy way down below the others though.

Phoebe by a mile with Clara in second.

You read some awful lists on here but they’re all nice names, I’m not a big fan of Poppy though. Feels like there’s a type of family that often use it, not saying all…

All really nice names.
