Maria
Anna
Alexandra

???

We want something fairly classic, feminine, not too girly.

Great names

I don't mind any of them, just not really my cup of tea if i'm honest.

Out of the three I would go for Alexandra but for me, it would have to be Alex.

in fact you could use a couple of them
Alexandra Maria has a nice ring to it

Like Alexandra best - love Alex as a shortened version.

I like Alexandra, I had Alexandra/Alexander on ym short list for DC3, it was a boy so I used Alexander.

I prefer Annabel to Anna, not keen on Maria.

Would prefer marie to maria
Like Anna but wouldn't call my child it.
Alexandra is ok but again would have to call Alex.

Knew someone called Alexa which I think is nice and a bit of a twist

DSIL is Anna Maria which I always thought was really pretty, Alexandra's nice too!

Not keen on Maria at all.
Anna is lovely.
Alexandra is OK
I also like Annabel and Arabella (irrelevant but true)

Of your three I prefer Anna.

Anna, but that is the name of dd3 (4 mths), so I am biased.

LynetteScavo · 28/08/2008 21:12

Anna.

Not too keen on Maria, and you have to bear in mind Alexandra with at some point get shortend Alex.

My name is Maria [inadvertently outs self] and I am sung to [West Side Story, Sound of Music, Blondie or Ave] at least once per day. Used to hate it as a kid, but cheers me up now [sign of age]

I really like Anna, less keen on Alexandra.

I think they're all lovely

My favourite is Anna and least favourite is Maria if i had to chose.

I don't like the shortening of Alex for Alexandra, but Ally is lovely.

Anna is lovely, really pretty - but unusual, I haven't met any Anna's at DS pre-school or school.

Along those lines I also think Alice is gorgeous.
