The short list

[DazedEmma]

I have narrowed down my top 5

Opinions please...

1. Matilda
2. Emily
3. Violet
4. Lauren
5. Erin

I have time to change my mind but these are the names I love. Any suggestions welcome. I do like old lady names too but some are just a bit too dated but let's have em...

Matilda/Erin or Emily for me

am just not as fussed on Violet or Lauren - nothing wrong with them or offensive about them just a bit blah!

what about

Esme
Elsa
Pearl
Martha
Beatrice nn Bea
Cecelia/Celia nn Cece

for old lady names?

well done you for having a list - I haven't even got THAT far lol

Erin or Violet for me - Emily way to popular and Matilida not keen

Love Cecelia. I quite like Violet too. I have a friend called Pearl. Don't like Matilda much but Emily ok too

Erin or emily for me.

In fact, I'd probably use Emily if I were ever lucky enough to have a girl.

Matilda and Erin

1. Matilda - I like this one.
2. Emily - I like it but I am turned off slightly by the fact that it was the number one name. If that doesn't bother you at all, then I think it is the prettiest name on your list.
3. Violet - I like this.
4. Lauren - I aint bovered about Lauren!! What about Laurel. WIth an L. Prettier, bit fresher.
5. Erin - I do not like this. It is very American even though I know it is a simplification of Eireann. Are you Irish? I don't know. Bit like calling somebody English. Now, Hibernia or Caledonia would be interesting!?

Any takers?

I keep changing my mind, so given that I just read Britney's little sister has had a girl, I'm going to leave it up to fate, whatever she calls her LO will be the name for my baby girl... Sensible or what! haha

greeny - shall add caledonia to list this instant

i heard she's named it gertrude.... will that do you?

She has called the baby Maddie Briann according to people.com

I love Matilda, Violet and Erin. Lauren is (I think) a bit common and Emily is just a bit too ordinary for me.

Violet is by far the best imo
Really like Matilda and Pearl too

Erin
Emily

Matilda is my favourite from your list. Emily 2nd.

Matilda or Erin for me

I know someone called Caledonia

IMHO
Matilda - very pretty
Emily - too commonly used,a bit blah
Violet -gorgeous
Lauren - a bit Vicky Pollard
Erin - too American (unless you are)

Don't mind Matilda or Emily. Violet always feels like it's missing an 'n' to me. Lauren and Erin- not for me.

erin my dd was going to be called erin she has it as a double barralled first name and we spelt it erinn

Lauren is the only 1 i really like the others are bit too old fashioned

every1 whats the matter with the name lauren

Matilda - like it but do think of the Roald Dahl book/film

Emily - if you don't mind her being the sixth one in her class, honestly just about every second girl round here is either Emma or Emily

Violet - ok, if it suits her when born, think its quite individual.

Lauren - i actually like it as i think of Lauren Bacall, very cool and attractive. Not ralph lauren, not cool.

Erin - seems to be catching up on Emily/Emma/Amy in the popularity stakes. I do like it tho. Would go for this or Lauren myself.

Try not to get too set on one name, its amazing how once they arrive you just KNOW they are/are not XXX name.

Matilda and Emily but not the rest.

I prefer Laura to Lauren.
