Layla - This is my least favourite of the list. It is okay, but has a trendy feel to it. I prefer the classics.
Gwyneth, nn Gwyn - This is nice, but not my favourite, although I am in the minority I know. People on this board love the name, from what I've heard, but I just can't get into the Gwen names.
Helena- This GMV, it is gorgeous and so classy. It will be impossible to date her to a certain decade, unlike many names that are so trendy and points. Gorgeous and so fresh.
Bridget - I like this a lot.
Tessa - Very sweet and spunky. I have heard it more often lately, but definately not popular enough to even beware of
Georgia - love this, very spunky.

Thanks for the comments! I am a little surprised that Georgia is winning. I'm still not sure about a name that I will see pretty often, as we are Kentucky fans and Georgia is in our conference for sports. That may be weird. But it is very pretty, nonetheless!

I think my top picks are the ones that are tied- Bridget, Tessa, and Helena.

Thanks for voting and commenting!

I love Helena, Tessa, Georgia and Bridget. I like Layla, but am concerned it is too trendy. I prefer Leila or Lila. Sorry, I dislike Gwyneth.

Good luck you have lovely choices.

Helena is beautiful and GMV. A great classic, and nice with your last name.

As for the others:

I don't care for place names, so wouldn't use Georgia, especially if you live nearby (yes, I know it was a name first, but still...).

Tessa seems too nicknamey and insubstantial as a whole name, but would be nice as a nickname for Theresa.

Layla, Gwyneth, and Bridget are all nice, but I personally wouldn't them unless the baby will be at least part Arab, Welsh, or Irish, respectively.

I love the name Layla so much that years before I ever got pregnant, I gave my cat that name. I would love to use it on a child, but I can't say it without picturing my cat, sooooo.....
Someone else should totally use it!

Yes, I can see how the cat association would be a problem, LOL. My husband and I began liking Layla because when we first began dating, we had to compromise on what music to listen to in the car (we both liked different types) and we settled on Eric Clapton's song with that name, and we continued to listen to his music together.
