Girls names, which ones do you like/not like.......

[Mum2OneAndBump]

We are so so stuck for a girls name, i never thought it would be this hard, but we are searching for that special name so here goes these are the names on our list, what do you like.not like???

Amelia
Faye
Sophie
Katie
Summer
Paige
Layla

Hmm so unsure but Sophie seems the fav so far

Paige. Every gal I've met called Paige has been a b*tch. Sorry, but that's been my experience.

Like Summer and Amelia the best.

My Dd's

Freya and Libby

re Layla - it's an Arabic name and Leila is the more usual transliteration. Obviously the proper spelling is in Arabic! and there are different conventions re transliteration, but, to me, Leila is a literary, romantic Arabic name, whereas Layla is a slightly made up very "of the moment" name (as, imho, are most names with a "y" in them). It means night btw.

Although, ironically, the more usual transliteration 50-odd years ago would have been Layla, but I doubt it's use now grows out of a desire to revert to older Arabic-English transliteration conventions! boring aren't i...

Ouch hativity!
There are 2 spellings to my RL name, one with i and one with y. My dear Mother chose the one with y, but I prefer the i, it looks less affected!

There are exceptions to the rule though, I prefer Nicky to Nicki, for example. (just personal maybe)

Should I change my name to Nightinight do you think??

Like Amelia (shortened to Millie) was on our shortlist but doesn't go with surname.

Sophie's pretty it's my neices name.

Like Layla and Katie

Don't like Paige, Faye or Summer

Summer (but Summer Peach sounds like a brand of air freshener) is a favourite of mine
Faye was areally square kid at school, so no
Katie was ds3 had he been a girl, so obv love that
Sophie is OK
Layla and Paige- really obnoxious kids at ds's first playschool
Amelia- spoilt brat Rainbow I once had

Funny how our name choices are so heavily influenced by experience, isn't it?

what about sophie katrina

I'm a teacher ...seeing Layla or Paige on a register would instill cold fear in my bones. The rest are lovely.

I think Sophie is making a major comeback.

There a few new mums I have seen or heard about, calling their new dd's Sophie.

I liked Layla the best out of the list but not a fave tbh.

Amelia is quite a pretty name though.

sorry but you have to decide for yourself as EVERYONE will have an opinion on different names!

I like Amelia and Sophie.

If my ds's were girls they would have been Annabel and Sophie.

Just my opinion - but you did ask - I like Faye but none of the others - and I'd run a mile from Summer, Paige and Layla.

Name choice is so personal - you have to make up your own mind really. Lots of people don't like my DS3's name!

I like Amelia and Faye - don't like Summer or Layla and have no opinion on the others.

I like Katie the best (I would as its my DDs name - her full name is Katelyn)

The others are all okay except Faye which I don't like, sorry.

My favourite is Summer, then Amelia.

Sophie or sophia is cool, obv Caity or Caitlin is better than katie (wonder why i think that??
um... not sure i like any of the others...
mind you, as i dont seem to be able to have anything but boys, dont mind telling you that Isobel is just the loveliest name of all. and Jasmine.
knew a girl in Oz called Summer and it worked over there but think would seem a bit daft over here... soz, just my opinion, which shouldnt count a jot. pull them out of a hat if you cant decide!

like Amelia best I think.

Also I like Summer but agree don't think would really work over here..

like Sophia, Faye, Katie and Paige

Don't like Summer or Layla

Indifferent to Amelia

I like Layla but prefer the spelling Leila

dd1 is amelia kate. She has now (age 10) rechristened herself Millie.
Hate Paige, like Sophie. Quite like Layla (but prefer leila)

I like Paige Summer and Sophie on ur list.

but our fave name was Pheobe.

(close contenders were Isobelle or Kyra)

I like Amelia best... but then again, I'm biased- my Amelia Kitty has just turned 5!

I think names really are a personal choice. As long as it doesn't sound silly then go with what you feel.
Personally, I don't like any of the names on your list but that's because I don't like girly girl names IYKWIM. However, this is just my personal opinion and although Paige does conjour up negative images in many peoples minds, the others are all perfectly respectable and pretty girl's names.
Choose the one you both feel you will still really like in 10years time.
