i like cecily but not sure if its too sweet
arabella a possible compromise
also quite like matilda or grace but very popular now so not sure
surname is westward
votes please

I really like Matilda - is it really that popular? Arabella is really nice too.

Grace is way too popular for me, personally.

Vote here for Matilda.

I love Grace but would be concerned by how popular it is.

Love Matilda too & I know it's popular on here but don't know any in rl.

Cecily Westward sounds lovely.

How about Cecile - if you're concerned about Cecily being too sweet.

Felicity is quite a long name, especially with an 8 letter surname. I like Matilda, not keen on Grace and it is very popular for some reason.

...or Vivienne !!

I love Matilda, but I have one so biased. It depends where you live whether it's popular or not.

Grace however, seems to be very popular everywhere.

Not keen on Felicity or Cecily.

Arabella is nice though.

dp says no to matilda and wont be persuaded i love it buts he has vetoed it unfortunately

Matilda with nn of Tilly? ask dp that???
If not, then I like Felicity - nn Flick?

Im struggling with names myself!! It's so hard!! Good luck xx

If you like Felicity but feel it's not quite right, how about Verity?

I know what you mean about Matilda, I fear it may get increasingly popular but it's still a great name.

I love Cecily but it does mean blind, not sure if that bothers you... Not too sweet at all. Ottilie?

Arabella is lovely too, but maybe she'd just end up being one of many, many Bellas (thanks to all the Isabellas).

Love Felicity, it's no 2 on my girls names list!

i think its between cecily and arabella
cecily meaning doesnt bother me as i think of the herb sweet cecily but dp is less keen
know what you mean about ending up as bella but think i could live with that
keep voting please

1 vote here for Cecily.

Cecily and Arabella are lovely. I'd go for Cecily probably (good nn potential, Celie, Cece, Celia etc and less frequently heard) with Arabella as a middle name.
Cecily Arabella Westward- lovely
Also love Annabel..

Cecily and cicely are lovely. Grace v popular, and Matilda ok. Mabel?

If it's between Cecily and Arabella then my vote goes to Cecily.

NN Bella is likely to be a lot more popular than Matilda or Grace.

I love Matilda (obviously !). Mine is the only one I know in real life (and we know a lot of under 5's)

Cecily

I love Matilda and Felicity. Both lovely names.

Cecily and Arabella are both fine but quite Sloaney.

Arabella -- that makes two votes from here.

Arabella - Bella nice, but I prefer Belle.

Cecily. I don't like Arabella.

I vote for Matilda, slightly biased as I just named my baby Matilda! I don't know any other Matildas.
Grace is a bit dull (sorry)
Cecily is quite nice and very unusual.

I vote Cecily-lovely name.

In a nutshell

both Matilda and Grace currently very very popular - many many many babies with these names. Both following the crowd.

Cecily and Arabella both good. Arabella sounds posh, which could be a positive or a negative.

Felicity is BAD!! Sounds like a Sanitary Towel.
