Sorry me again. So I've had a very productive day of sorting out MY shortlist. Dps may be different but he did say it's my turn to choose
Middle and last name are Louise Bennett.

Francesca
Eden
Abigail
Ella

She's due in 5 weeks (early feb) and is so far nameless. I know I might change my mind when she's here but I'd like to have a name ready for her. What are your thoughts? Any suggestions welcome based on what I have already.

Francesca without doubt.

GoldPlatedBacon · 30/12/2015 18:09

Francesca is one of my all time favourites so I will nearly always choose that!

sidsgranny · 30/12/2015 18:11

They're all lovely names but I think my favourite is Eden, followed by Francesca.

chuckieegg2008 · 30/12/2015 18:49

Abigail :)

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 30/12/2015 18:53

Francesca

IoraRua · 30/12/2015 19:07

Definitely not Ella.

I like Francesca, followed by Abigail.

Junosmum · 30/12/2015 19:10

Eden

ashesandfire · 30/12/2015 20:11

Francesca followed by Abigail

DontKillMyVibe · 30/12/2015 20:14

Francesca. Really don't like Eden, sorry. Ella is nice but v v popular and overused. Abigail is OK and would be my second choice from your list.

AuntieStella · 30/12/2015 20:15

Francesca

Georgeofthejungle · 30/12/2015 20:18

Abigail is top of our list! Francesca is lovely. I suggested that one but DH said no

Snowball789 · 30/12/2015 20:20

Francesca sounds best with the middle and last names but are you okay with nn Frankie, Fran, Cheska etc?

Sophronia · 30/12/2015 23:37

Abigail

magpie17 · 30/12/2015 23:39

Abigail 100%

spring1bee · 30/12/2015 23:43

Eden. It's in my top 3 but unfortunately DH isn't a fan.

omri · 30/12/2015 23:55

Francesca. I wanted it for my own dd but couldn't (for a couple of reasons). I called her Alexandra (Alex) for short but still think she would have made a great Francesca (frankie for short).

LaceyLee · 30/12/2015 23:57

Francesca definitely

Allalonenow · 31/12/2015 00:02

Fransesca.

I know a Francesca with nn Cici, which I think is very pretty.

Not Eden or Ella.

Sofiria · 31/12/2015 00:25

Francesca! I love it.

Abigail is nice too but I wouldn't pair it with Louise because of the /l/ sounds running into each other.

manicinsomniac · 31/12/2015 01:20

All lovely.

Ella is my least favourite.

Struggling to decide between the other three. Francesca I think. But I love all three.

CakeRattleandRoll · 31/12/2015 06:58

Abigail or Francesca.

xmasseason · 31/12/2015 12:31

Abigail
