Thoughts on my girls name shortlist please?

[Chocolatecakelover94]

Hi, I’m currently 6 months pregnant with my second DD. My first is named Charlotte. DH and I have narrowed our choice down to the shortlist below after some negotiation but I’m not sure if any of these names particularly grab me; although I could be overthinking it. What do people think? Tbh I think any of these names would be fine which isn’t particularly helpful 😆 Thanks x

Alice
Lucy
Isabel/Isobel
Beatrice
Eve

Or Alexandra would go well with Charlotte

Alice and Beatrice are lovely, I like Bea as a nn.

Alice - 'Alice? Alice? who the f is Alice?' Without fail comes into my head.
Lucy - fine.
Isabel/Isobel - Izzy wizzy let's get busy.
Beatrice - Bea is cute
Eve - boring.

Done to death: Wren, Florence, Lila, Clara, Hattie, Ella, Elodie, Ruby, Olivia, Livia,

I love Alice. Isobel second.

I don't like Isobel. I'm not keen on Isabel. I like Elizabeth.

I like all your names. Wouldn’t be over the moon about Eve but it’s fine.
What about?
Ava
Louise/Louisa
Flora
Genevieve
Sarah
Sophie (My all time favourite girls name)

I like all of the ones on your list and also most of the ones that have been suggested by other posters on the thread.

I've been checking out baby name threads for over 20 years and this is literally the first time that's happened to me.

Obviously absolutely no help to you in whittling down your shortlist.

I also think Lucy is the best one there, the others, as you say, are fine, but don't grab me.
Amy, Laura, Elizabeth, Rosalie, Katharine?

I like all of the names but Eve is my favourite…not Evie !

They are all nice names and work well with Charlotte. I think I like Lucy best.

Some other names in similar vein for your consideration:
Catherine
Philippa
Caroline
Sarah
Miranda
Penelope
Emma
Mary
Jenna
Mirabel
Claudia
Rosalind

Well everybody will have different preferences, personally I'm not sold on Beatrice. All your other names are gorgeous though.

But you do realise how popular Eve/Evie /Evelyn/Eva /have been over the last few years? She is unlikely to be the only one in the class.

Isabel/Isobel too I think, although is that more Isabella that's very popular? I love Isabel/Isobel though! You could consider Annabel?

They would all go beautifully with Charlotte. Emma or Emily would as well. Or Sophie as somebody else suggested.

I like Alice and Eve. A family friend had a daughter called Charlotte, and if she'd had another girl, she would've been called Alice. As it was, they had boys after that!

Do you like Beatrix?
I love your list apart from Lucy. I've met 3 who could all get in the bin
