Baby Girl First Names

edited August 2013 in Baby Names
So we are trying to decide between 3 girl names. I like them all but i feel like I have something to say about each one. Olivia is just super popular right now but my DH loves it, Mara I like but I need some feedback on, and Gabriella is just such a long name and our last name is kind of on the longer side so i don't want her name to be a tongue twister! I need some help. Thanks :)

  • I voted Mara. I think it's fresh and pretty. The others are nice, too, I just hear them a lot.

  • I like Gabriella best, growing up I had three names each w three syllables, never bothered me in the least. Plus Gabby or Bri, or Ella are all cutesy short nicknames.

    Mara gets number 2, just because I don't like the meaning, besides that it's fine.

    Olivia is blech to me.

  • Mara for sure! I'm so sick of Olivia and Gabriella. Nice names, but meh. Overused. Mara is lovely!

    I did check out the meaning and I don't usually put a whole lot of thought into the meaning to be honest, but I wanted to find out all the things people could potentially tease someone about.  So I agree with you there 100%.

  • Mara is the only one I REALLY like. Olivia is far too popular for my taste, and Gabriella is just meh.

  • Mara. I've loved that name for years, it's simple and beautiful! Second choice would be Gabriella.
