Girls names- which one do you live best?

[Izzywhizzy]

So far we've got:

Eleanor
Alexandra
Frances
Madeline
Catherine

Alexandra is my favorite, but DP has an ex by that name and isn't too keen.

Waddya think?? Any more suggestions?

[Izzywhizzy]

Doh!! LIKE best, not live best. Bugger.

Love Francis

[no1putsbabyinthecorner]

Sorry Frances

[LaDiDaDi]

I don't like Frances but like any of the others with Eleanor probably having the edge.

[eidsvold]

what about tweaking the Alexandra to Alexandria.

I like Eleanor and Frances.

[eenybeeny]

Eleanor is my favourite. Hate to say it but Madeline would just make me think of that poor little girl though its a shame as its a beautiful name!

[Izzywhizzy]

I know what you mean about Madeline. I get that reaction from a lot of people when I mention it as an option. Poor little girl

[MrsMattie]

Alexandra is quite nice.

[eenybeeny]

Izzy I would just steer away from that name. You dont want people sighing in sadness every time they think of your beautiful DD.

[flack]

Catherine, because I like the nicknames best.
Eleanor (Ellie) as 2nd choice.

[Jacanne]

I wouldn't steer clear of the name Madeleine - I think it would be ridiculous for everyone to "sigh in sadness" everytime they heard it - there are plenty of Madeleines out there and it's a lovely name.

[CantSleepWontSleep]

Madeleine (spelt this way, not your way).

[Tommy]

I like all of them - "proper" names as my Mum would call them

[theaevie]

Dh and I loved both Madeleine and Alexandra, however when we saw all three of our girls none of them really suited the names we had chosen.

Instead we have a
Thea
Evie
Mae

Beautiful names for three beautiful girls.

When you see you child, I think you know instantly. Well, we did.

Happy choosing!

Catherine, but with a K, so you can have Kitty as a nickname...so pretty!

[AbbeyA]

I like them all. I like Catherine with a C, if it was with a K I would shorten to Kate (not Katie and definitely not Kitty)

[janeite]

Elinor is my favourite (that spelling).

[BigBadMouse]

Eleanor but it is very common down here so just check in your area if that would bother you.

I prefer Katherine with a K too.

Other than that I love Megan and Margot
