Love Layla is my DDs name!!

zippimistletoes · 15/12/2005 18:52

what about Zelda

Katie is my favourite from your list

MistleToo · 15/12/2005 18:54

Like Faye, Sophie, Katie

Summer
Paige
Layla all a bit pretentious imo - sorry!

foundintransleightion · 15/12/2005 18:55

Like Amelia and Sophie.
Dislike the rest (sorry), especially Paige, Faye and Summer. If you're going to use Layla, why not spell it Leila? Much nicer, I think.

I only like Amelia. All the others are either dated or too overused.

Glitterygook · 15/12/2005 19:01

The only name I'd consider on there is Katie.

OK are Sophie and Amelia.

Absolute no-nos for me are Faye, Summer, Paige, Layla.

Hulababy · 15/12/2005 19:08

From your list I like Sophie and Katie best. Quite like Amelia too, and Summer is okay (not that unusual to me as have taught one).

Hayls · 15/12/2005 19:10

I like Amelia and Sophie. Don't mind Layla and Faye but not keen on the others.
(there are lots of Amelias about tho)

calpopscalum · 15/12/2005 19:12

only like Katie I'm afraid!

LIZS · 15/12/2005 19:20

Prefer Amelia and Sophie from your list, Katie maybe. Really depends on your surname too, Sophie wouldn't work with ours, too alliterative.

HAZELLNUTsroastingonanopenfire · 15/12/2005 19:21

I like Amelia, Katie and Sophie.

followthestarlover · 15/12/2005 19:29

faye.. quite like this, unusual, yet not... iyswim?

sophie.. pretty, but a lot of them

katie... very nice name

summer... quite like, but a bit american

paige... don't like, bit chav

layla... no!

MerryMegandSnowySoph · 15/12/2005 20:06

sophie the best (but am biased of course)

and also like katie

Epiffany · 15/12/2005 20:10

Amelia nice
Sophies are everywhere just now as is Katie
I know somone who has a Summer and Paige and an Autumn
I like Layla a lot as Eric Clapton song

KateF · 15/12/2005 20:11

Like Sophie as is dd1's middle name . Also like Layla because dd1's best friend is called it and she's lovely (spells it Leyla though as they are Muslim). If you know and like someone with a particular name you tend to warm to it don't you. Also like Katie and Amelia but quite well used at the moment.

LadyTophamInAChristmasHatt · 15/12/2005 20:16

The only one I really dislike is Paige.

I think Summer is my favourite

foundintransleightion · 15/12/2005 20:19

Is Katie popular again? I remember being surrounded by them when I was growing up. FWIW I don't think it's appropriate as a given name - too little girly for when she's grown up. Why not Kathryn/-erine/Catherine shortened to Katie?

FIMBObellsFimbleAllTheWay · 15/12/2005 20:21

Sophie seems to be a popular name at the moment, but then my dd's name was like that when she was born in '98 and I haven't heard many babies called her name now - it comes in fits and starts. I like Amelia from you list.

SnowsyPosey · 15/12/2005 20:53

Don't like Paige. Not too keen on Summer.
Like Amelia and Katie (although like Kate better).
Others are okayish!

merrycompo · 15/12/2005 20:53

I like sophie and Katie but not any of the others.

thecattleareALOHing · 15/12/2005 20:55

I like sophie and kate (ideally Katherine/Catherine). But I'm boring like that.

bossykate · 15/12/2005 20:55

Amelia - yes
Faye - yes
Sophie - yes
Katie - yes but only if you call her C/Katherine and shorten it
Summer - yuk
Paige - yuk - naff, naff, naff
Layla - yuk

MIstletAOU · 15/12/2005 21:01

I like Amelia and Faye.

I know a Paige who absolutely hates her name so much that she apologises for it before she introduces herself (and she is only about 10 ) - too much scope for pathetic childish jokes
