Lucy, I'm not a fan of the other 2 at all.

Answer 5

I absolutely adore the name Greta...though they are all very beautiful names.

Answer 6

None of them are bad choices. However, I think Lucy seems a bit nicknamey. I would use it as a nickname for Lucinda. Of your list, I think Adelaide is the sweetest. It's a place name with the option of a trendy nickname (Addie) or a quirky nickname (Delly). She has the option of blending in or standing out. Greta is really cute, but I would be concerned that she wouldn't have any options if she wants to be less unique.

Answer 13

It would help to know the middle name, to see which one flows the best. But I like Lucy and Adelaide.

Answer 14

Adelaide Hoffman

Answer 15

They're all lovely.  My favorites are Adelaide Hoffman and Greta Hoffman.  They both sound so sophisticated, and they are names one doesn't hear every day.  Greta fits in well with the other Old Hollywood names that are popular right now, like Ava, Audrey, and Harlow.  Adelaide, in addition to being a lovely feminine classic, is also a city in Australia, and that certainly makes it seem current.

Lucy is darling, but it's gaining rapidly in popularity and it has the tendency to sound a bit more juvenile.  People do have more cultural associations with Lucy, and most of those are positive that I can think of -- the Beatles song, the comic redhead, and the Wordsworth poems, to name a few.  It's more familiar, which could be an argument for using it, but I think I'd still be a bit more excited to meet an Adelaide or a Greta.

Which name sounds best with the family middle name?

Answer 16

i love Adelaide and Lucy - i guess i'll go with Lucy.
