I had thought Louisa was classic and pretty but dh not keen. He prefers Lucinda but im worried this is too horsey - though i do like the potential for nicknames with Lucinda. Votes please!

Definitely Louisa!

Louisa is the prettier name. It's the 'Cinders' that I wouldn't like. Don't think it's necessarily horsey - but it isn't as attractive. IMO

I'm for Louisa too! Not at all keen on Lucinda! ..wasn't that one of the ugly step-sisters in Cinderella?Confused

We're in sync here Mavis, Lucinda instantly makes me think 'horsey'. Smile

DD1 is Louisa, it's a fab name! Lucinda is a bit too much, sort of like Esmerelda when you could just have Esme or Maximillian and not Max.

sorry don't like Lucinda, but Lucy yes and Louisa maybe
