At the moment one of these is my choice, one is dh's choice and one is dd's choice! Just wondering who thought what to each! I'm sure all three will change again before baby comes

Leah. I love it.

MrsVik · 08/09/2009 16:16

I like all of them.

Jemma - I think it prefer Jemima, with Jemma as a nn.

Kira - I don't know any Kiras, I think it's a nice sounding name.

Leah - maybe a little bland, although nothing really wrong with it.

Good luck with your pregnancy and have fun deciding names

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 08/09/2009 16:17

Leah definitely

mazzystartled · 08/09/2009 16:18

Jemma (maybe Gemma?) or Leah

Kira - nah

Littlefish · 08/09/2009 16:20

Jemma, Gemma or Jemima.

Not Leah or Kira.

Ondine · 08/09/2009 16:20

Leah is nice.

Kira, looks a bit like a nickname, but Keira is lovely, nicer than Leah imo.

Jemma I dislike, it's very 1980's. Also not keen on it with a 'J', if at all I prefer it spelt Gemma.

HI

I dont like Jemma ( I cant see an adult called Jemma).

I love Kira (try spelling it Keira) It was on my list

I like Leah (one of my friends has just called her dd that).

Good luck

RubyBlueberry · 08/09/2009 16:27

Not Keira. I like Jemma..in fact I may steal it in case I have another DD!!

BunnyLebowski · 08/09/2009 16:28

They're all very dated imo.

How about Ciara....the actual spelling of Kira?

Wigglesworth · 08/09/2009 16:35

Leah gets my vote.

seeker · 08/09/2009 16:39

Leah - or Gemma possibly. Not Kira. I will put money on Kira being you dd's choice!

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 08/09/2009 16:40

I like Keira a lot. Jemma and Leah not so much.

bevlin · 08/09/2009 16:54

Jemma, it's classier than Kira and Leah and I think 'pretty' when I think of the name

glasgowlass · 08/09/2009 17:02

Leah gets my vote, not so keen on other two.

Every Leah i know is lovely..

LyraSilvertongue · 08/09/2009 17:05

Kira's lovely. It was on my girl's name list (I have 2 boys)

dogonpoints · 08/09/2009 17:22

I like Kira a lot

LIZS · 08/09/2009 18:22

sorry don't like Jemma

MaggieVirgo · 08/09/2009 20:13

Jemma and Leah are both lovely. Kira not so much. It's ok though.

franke · 08/09/2009 20:17

I like Kira and I like that spelling of it, or even Kyra.
Leah is too Star Wars imo.
Jemma is okay

jemmalou · 08/09/2009 21:59

bargainhuntingbetty - i am an adult called jemma. made the transition from childhood fairly smoothly...

florence2511 · 08/09/2009 22:06

Leah - love

Kira - don't like at all

Jemma - don't like at all

saggyhairyarse · 08/09/2009 22:20

I've got a Jemma, that I wish we had named Jemima now

Stayingsunnygirl · 08/09/2009 22:26

Leah gets my vote too - it has a gentle sound to it.

Tidey · 08/09/2009 22:29

I like Kira and Leah. Not keen on Jemma/Gemma as all the ones I've met have been thoroughly unpleasant.

BerylCole · 09/09/2009 05:15

Leah. Other two sound made up.
