Ella - I love this name
Amelie - I like
Caitlin, Amber, Lexie - Ok
Not really keen on the others.

Amelie

(getting v common but such a lovely name)

None of them are horrid.

Least favourite would be Lauren and Lana

PacificDogwood · 10/05/2009 20:33

Amelie - v nice
Carla - lovely
Lana - v nice
Lexie - not at all keen on this one
Alyssa - no
Amber - no, too pornstarish
Caitlin - v nice
Ella - v nice
Kerry - no, too Katonaish
Lauren - not sure

Would probably go with Ella.

suwoo · 10/05/2009 20:37

Amelie. The others are ok, but Kerry is awful. Sorry.

Caitlin

cuntish · 10/05/2009 20:42

Lexie lovely, Amelie very nice.
All others cack

Tidey · 10/05/2009 20:43

Lexie or Alyssa

TheFallenMadonna · 10/05/2009 20:45

Ella or Carla

MsMargotBeauregarde · 10/05/2009 20:45

Amelie - too blah, and too like Emily which was #1 name for ages.
Carla - like this. I like Carly too.
Lana - no. anal backwards. I like Lara.
Lexie - no.
Alyssa - no.
Amber - like this.
Caitlin - no.
Ella - pretty but a bit weak sounding and very popular. Nice as a nn for Gabriella or Estella or Annabella though.
Kerry - OK bit unisex for my taste. I still wonder if it's a man or a woman.
Lauren - ok, but prefel Laurel

Louby3000 · 10/05/2009 20:47

Amelie- very popular now, but pretty
Carla- nope
Lana- like this
Lexie- chavvy IMO
Alyssa-pretty
Amber- stripper name
Caitlin- nope
Ella-pretty
Kerry- nope
Lauren- OK, bit boring,

Hope you dont mind a suggestion, what about Lyra?
Good luck in your choosing

ohdearwhatamess · 10/05/2009 20:49

Like Amelie (but prefer Amelia) and Caitlin.

Not keen on the others (particularly Amber and Lauren).

Kerry, Amber, Alyssa and Carla are all a bit 80s IMO.

4.Carla
5.Lauren

No to Lana, Lexie, Amber, Caitlin, Kerry

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 10/05/2009 21:27

I'm obviously not on your wavelength at all. The only one I like is Amelie (although I like Amelia better).

mrsnoname · 10/05/2009 21:32

Not overly keen on any of them to be honest .
What about CLARA instead of CARLA ?!

pasturesnew · 10/05/2009 21:34

Amelie - nice but lots round our way
Carla - like it, unusual nowadays
Lana - like it, makes me think of Superman but that's all right
Lexie - not too keen
Alyssa - like it but prefer Alicia
Amber - like it but would name a horse this. I think it is 70s / early 80s. My DH really likes this though.
Caitlin - like it
Ella - like it but lots and lots round our way
Kerry - not that keen
Lauren - like it

Think my favourite is probably Lauren unless you would be willing to change Alyssa to Alicia

pasturesnew · 10/05/2009 21:35

sorry forgot to say congratulations by the way, hope the birth goes well and your lovely daughter is with you safe and sound, she will be gorgeous whatever name you go for.
