Pick between these names for me

[MumOfBaby]

Hi all, not pregnant yet, trying for a baby now though. Very excited, and DP and I have already decided on a boys name. We'd like to have a girls name planned out too. A bit sad, but each to their own eh?

We like the following:

Isla Jules [G surname]
Zia Jules [G surname]
Brooke Jules [G surname]
Blair Jules [G surname]

What do you think? Or do you have an alternative we might like in the same jist as those names?

I like Isla but it's going to get very popular now that Isla Fisher is suddenly everywhere.

Unless you're going hyphenated why worry about the middle name? Using your mum's name is a lovely way to honour her, but no-one goes around calling themselves by both names. Don't get worked up about whether it goes with the first name, just stick it in there regardless!

Can't help but think that if Darcy is a bad-tempered individual, she'll end up getting 'Arsey Darcy' at school!

Actually, i do call the dog Arsey Darcey sometimes

Darcey makes me think of Mr Darcy so odd.. for a girl, imo.

I wouldn't pick any of these in a mad fit myself, but what about Bailey, Shelby and Casey?

Your style?

All simpler than Kaedi-Lei. I will pinch you if you call your baby Kaedi-Lei. I will. I'll find you.

I hate all of them except Isla (including Jules I'm afraid).

but Salmon, what about Darcey Bussell? Ubergirly prima ballerina type

Dont fo Kaidelei or Faethe - spell them correctly or not at all

Like Isla

I like Isla and Blair- my sis is a Blair (the only female Blair I've ever met) and she gets nice comments on it all the time so meh to all those who don't like it.

The only one I. don't like is Blair

Is that her real name thumbwitch? Can't imagine parents 40 yrs ago (??) choosing the name 'Darcey'!

Nicer Ballet names

Viviana
Margot
Sylvie
Anna

Annie Jules??

I don't like the idea of Gaelic names unless you have Gaelic roots, and it is a complete PITA having to spell your name ALL the time

I quite like Brooke and am trying to work out how it rhymes with f*ck! Please someone enlighten me! I've said both words with my essex accent, my posh rp accent, my husbands stokey accent and can't get them to rhyme!

I like Isla.

Isla is pretty, Juliet and Faith are nice. Really dislike Brook and Blair. Kaidi Lei is ridiculous!!

Oh for goodness sake, call her Jane!

mrsjuan- maybe it's a northern thing.

Seeker- totally don't like traditional names.

We do have Gaelic roots on the upside (more DP than me- his grandad goes on about it) which is how we got started on that one.

Well OK, maybe Jane's a bit extreme but please not misspelled or made up Gaelic names that nobody will be able to pronounce, or names which will condemn her to a life of white shell suits and ear hoops like curtain rings!

How about Isla Juliet? Or Faith Juliet? Or Julia Faith? Or

We are quite taken with Faith Juliet or Faith Julie at the moment.

Urgh I teach teenagers in white trackies with hoop earings and their name on their necklace. I cannot bring up a chav lol.

Isla or Brooke

I like Darcy, Isla, Brooke, Blair, Faith and Hope. I prefer Julia to Julie.

Faith Juliet is really nice imo.

Could you use your mum's middle name (if she has one) instead? Julia is ok, but I only really like Isla. Have you considered Grace or is that to normal?

salmon - you thought that was bad? This is her original name: Darcey Andrea Bussell CBE (born Marnie Mercedes Darcey Pembleton Crittle) (from Wikipedia
So in one way you are right, she chose Darcey as her first name, but I'm sorry, her parents were clearly on something when they picked out her whole name!!
