Interesting question. I have a top 8…

Even though it’s not my number 1, I’d say Lucy is the best girl name. It’s been on my list since the age of 5 (longest standing name!), it’s classic without being dated, it fits everybody, it has a lovely sound and lovely meaning, and it’s a feminine form of my late grandpa’s name so I could use it to honour him.

I used to think Lucy; was sure I'd name my daughter Lucy until I saw her. How a newborn can NOT look like any name, I don't know, but she certainly didn't look like a Lucy. I also love Laura, but can't use it because we were always going to use my mother's name, which is Beatrice, and it would have been too Italian-poetry.
