I personally like Mair or Lydia. Most of the others aren't to my taste at all though.

Indigo (indie) - no (because of Indigo children)
Naomie - lovely if spelt Naomi
Mair - pronounced 'mare'?
Lydia - lovely
Blake - boys name
Delilah - Tom Jones song would get irritating, fast
Ivy - Tilsley, off Corrie
Mila - Ok
Sienna - Ok
Elsie - Ok (also a Corrie name, though)

Delilah is gorgeous imo, by far the best in your list. Ivy, Elsie, Lydia are all lovely too. Not Sienna or Blake, bit chavvy, sorry.

Love your name choices...they're right up my street!

I like Mila, Sienna and Elsie but I love, love, love Delilah - definitely my all time favourite girls name!

Mila or ivy. I met my first Mila the other day and thought, what a lovely name.

Is Mila pronounced Mia or Milla?

Sawyer22 · 23/09/2013 19:59

Mila is pronounced mee-la (so I beleive)
And Mair is pronounced Mya (it's the welsh spelling)
Ooo it's soo hard I never imagined it would be so hard!

I like Delilah, Ivy, Sienna and Mila the best.

Indigo sounds like a boys name.
Mair sounds like mare as in a horse or a nightmare
The others are a bit bland.

I would pronounce Mair more as My-uhr but that might be regional.

Sawyer22 · 23/09/2013 20:06

My-uhr does sound better! :)

I agree with meditrinas take on the names.

Lydia is lovely

Love Naomi - Naomie too fussy.
Like Lydia.
Hate Blake and Mila.

Indigo (indie) - don't like at all
Naomie - lovely name when spelt Naomi, but don't llike the added 'e'
Mair - I know a few Welsh folk with this name, but think you'd have pronounciation troubles if not living in Wales... if you want her to be called 'Mya' and you live in England, I'd spell it 'Mya'
Lydia - Okay
Blake - boys name
Delilah - would be sining the Tom Jones song every time I say her
Ivy - very 'old ladyish' IMO
Mila - don't like... sounds like a Tweenies name to me
Sienna - quite like
Elsie - old ladyish again

But wouldn't life be boring if we all liked the same names Grin

Lydia off your list.

Marnie, as an alternative?

Thank you all for your favourates!

I'm currently leaning towards Delilah, ivy, Naomi and Mila! Could you pronounce mila - my-la?!

Love the names with the middle names! I hadn't even thought about middle names yet! Doh! :)

I like Mila and Sienna best. Mila is Mee-la as in Mila Kunis, if you want to pronounce it My-la I would spell it Myla.

Indigo and Blake are boys names to me (although Blake Lively is clearly a woman!).

Lydia Grin

It was on my list (top 3 with Libby & Millie) but DH vetoed Hmm

LeoandBoosmum · 23/09/2013 23:35

Had you considered Dahlia? Pronounced Day-leah.
The only name I remotely like on your list is Elsie. I like Noemie (No-ay-me). I think it's the French version of Naomi.
