Hi ladies
This is my first post & I really need your opinions as I am totally confused & stressed out on choosing a name for my baby daughter who is due in September.
Ok so the situation is I love the names Isabella & Jessica however everyone keeps telling me how popular these names are this year & its just putting me off, the problem with choosing another name however is that I don't love anything as much & find myself comparing every name to either Isabella or Jessica.
I also like Laila and I know this is the name that is least common out of the 3.
I'd like your opinions on which name is best & also your thoughts on choosing a popular name...
The choices being:
Jessica
Isabella Laila

Thanks girls

I have a daughter called Isabel but I did originally have Laila picked so I love both names

Isabella is the nicest by far. Jessica is okay, and not keen on Laila. Isabella is very popular, but if you love it - I'd go for it .

In DDs school, there is 1 Isabella, in DD2s nursery - there aren't any. It is popular but I don't think it is totally ubiquitous.

I absolutely love Isabella, and if your worried about it being too popular, have you considered double barrelling the name?! I really like Isabella-Grace & Isabella-May xx
