Would love to hear what you think and which name you like best.

Lexie

Sorry but lola is a pretty name but conjures up the song "lola was a show girl"

Lara would be lovely
I like Lexie short for Alexia, but not so much on its own.
Lauren and Lola are lovely

Shaunie is a boys name with an 'ie' added on the end.
After 4 boys, why would you pass up the chance to go for a proper girly name and choose another boys name???

I like Lauren, the rest all sound a bit porn-star to me (sorry!).

My daughter is called Lara. It's a beautiful name. I also like Lola.

I like Lola or Lexie.
Lauren is pretty but very common (round here). Don't know if that bothers you? But I still think Lola actually is the prettiest.
As someone else said 'I have this little sister Lola.........'
And I know Lola is meant to be quite common because of the Charlie and Lola thing but I don't know ANY. And it's not even very high up in the top lists is it?
Sorry, waffling on.

I like Lola or Lexie (but only if it's short for Alexandra).

Lani - don't really like it, where is it from?

Lauren - sadly spoiled for me by Catherine Tate! I like Laura though, think that's quite underused now and a lovely name.

Lexie - is a nickname for Alexis/Alexa/Alexia/Alexandra

Lola - I have a friend called Lola, it's a nickname though her real name is Laura, in her professional life she is Laura it's just old friends who know her as Lola. I'd probably give a 'real' name like Laura so she has an option when she grows up.

Shaunie - hmmm no don't really like. I like Sian as a name but I'm into Welsh names.

My preference out of your list would probably be Lexie but have a 'proper' name as a given name (like Alexandra) or I'd go for Laura!

I like Alexandra, Lani, Lara, Laura, Lana, Alana, Larissa, Laurel, Laurie.

Lauren and Lola are quite popular. Lexi is nice but I prefer to use the full name and then Lexi as a nickname.

Lola or Lexie are sweet. Not keen on Shaunie.
Congratulations though - how lovely. I have 3 boys but I'm stopping there!

How about Lana instead of Lani? Lana Turner was a great actress and very beautiful!

Lani, I have one, have yet to meet or even hear of another.

Only Lola will do, so that her big brothers can all spout
'I have this little sister Lola, she is small & very funny'
