I'm called Lucy and have always liked it and found it easy to live with - timeless and classic. Also love the name Alice - not many of them about now. Eve - millions of them about. Iris - cool about four years ago with celebs - probably past it's best before date now - probably going to become unfashionable just because it was so trendy.

Agree two names: eg Eve and Alice - and then say you will decide the order once the baby arrives and you can decide which name she "looks" most like.

That's what we did pre-birth, when we could come up with girls' names, although we did have a short list (altohugh it wasn't that we awere disagreeing). Fortunately, we had ds and we we had already decvided on boys names!

FWIW my order is:
1.Alice (was on our girls' name short list)

  1. Eve (close friend's daughter is called that and it suits her)
Lucy and Iris: OK but wouldn't be on my short list.

i never realised everybody thought of eve/evie as popular or common,my daughters evie and i no of no others and wen i tell people her name lots of people say 'oh thats pretty and u dont hear of many!' how strange!!!
altho she is now 2 so mayb there r more in the last 2 years.

(ella/ellie was my partners choicebut i said no to common!!! haha)

right the list
1- obviously eve is my fav! (no suprise there)

2- iris would have to b next-liking the granny names lately!

3-4 iam sorry lucy makes me think of someone very boring and dull, very much a jane name!!

and wen i see alice all i think of is- 'alice the camel has to humps... so go alice go!' anyone remember that frm school??
or 'alice? alice? who the f~ck is alice!'

Sophie I have an Eva who is nearly two, named after my mums middle name. I didn't think it was popular when I named her it but I think its defianatly growing in popularity now. Still love it though so my vote is for Eve
