[Opinions] Olivia, Mélodie or Lucie?
Hi, I posted on here before, and I need your opinions again. My husband and I have short-listed 3 girls' names for our next daughter. She is due in April.We have 1 daughter at the moment - Clara IsabelleWhich is your favorite, and if you could, please say why.
Olivia, Mélodie or Lucie?As a side note, we are both French (if you hadn't guessed from the names).For a middle name, we are contemplating Sophie, if we chose Olivia. Sophia is an option if we chose either of the other two.Last name is DameryThankyou for your help!Regards,
Leah

Is Olivia as popular in France as it is here? I like Olivia the best, but if it's really popular then I vote for Melodie (with the accent mark, I just don't know how to make them :-). But if popularity doesn't matter to you anyways, then I vote for Olivia. Congratulations :-)

Lucie - my favourite! I would put this into the same catagory as Clara - simple and feminine (Melodie seems a bit trendy and Olivia too frilly imo - although I like them both, Lucie goes best with Clara)Clara Isabelle and Lucie Sophia alice x

I like Mélodie the best personally, but I am not sure about how good it sounds with your last name.Have you considered using Olivie? I like Olivia also; the only drawback is its popularity.In English (as you may know), Lucie is always a pet form, and looks informal or familiar -- so if a significant part of her experience is expected to be in the English-speaking world, you might consider using Lucienne as a full name. You could still call her Lucie, I suppose, if that would be normal in French. If she's going to live most of her life in France, I don't suppose it matters. Anyway, Lucienne Damery sounds very nice, imo, as well as Lucie Damery.All of these I like, in approximately this order:
Mélodie Sophia Damery
Lucienne Sophia Damery
Olivia Lucienne Damery
Olivie Sophia Damery
Lucie Sophia Damery
Lucie Olivia Damery - chazda

Thankyou for your suggestions. Lucienne might be one for us to consider. For some reason, Olivie doesn't appeal to me like Olivia, but I'm not sure why.Thanks for your help!

I was going to choose Melodie but, i really like Olivia and I think that Olivia goes best with your last name.

As the names are listed, I don't like any of them.I prefer the name Olivianna, rather than Olivia. I think it's much prettier.I don't care for Mélodie (or Melody).I prefer Lucille with Lucie as a nickname. Lucie is fine for a 5-year-old, but not a 55-year-old, I think. I prefer Sophia with Sophie as a nickname.But, I don't think any of the names make a good combo, with your way of spelling the names, or my way of spelling the names.

If you actually live in France, I'd say Mélodie. It's beautiful. If not, Olivia. Olivia Sophie is really pretty.

I think Lucie goes best with Clara, but I dislike Lucie Sophia. On their own, of the three names, I like Mélodie best. Mélodie Sophia has a nice flow. I think Olivia is too popular- right now it isn't something I would use.Shannon
