After 33 weeks of bickering me and DP have finally picked 3 girls names we agree on. :)

Francesca
Felicity
Edith/Edie

Now it's just a case of picking one of those

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

francesca is lovely
all the felicities I have known have been rather wet so that colours my opinion but may not colour yours!

Edith/Edie are a bit trendy and will date them I think...

I Like Francesca and Edie. Felicity sounds a bit like a girl who would own a pony and have a boyfriend called Tarquin.

I like Fran

smother · 25/01/2011 16:17

Edith or Francesca, both have lovely nns too!

Edie is lovely, but seems to be getting mroe popular.

Fran is gorgeous but I agree with others, I prefer Frances.

I really don't like Felicity - it's along the lines of Cecilia or Clarissa in my mind. Frilly but also a little insepid sounding. Sorry to be harsh!

PlanetLizard · 25/01/2011 16:14

Yes I prefer Frances to Francesca too.

mathanxiety · 25/01/2011 15:50

Edith/ Edie.

I prefer Frances to Francesca and I think Felicity is very frilly.

Barbarella

I love Felicity and Edith.

I really don't like the name Francesca, it has a most unpleasant sound to my ears.

PlanetLizard · 25/01/2011 15:21

They are all nice, but in order of preference

Felicity
Edith/Edie
Francesca

Aerobreaking · 25/01/2011 15:18

Francesca in first.
Edith second.

Not a fan of Felicity.

Highlandgirl · 25/01/2011 15:17

Francesca.

I with lula really don't like Edith.

MisSalLaneous · 25/01/2011 15:16

Francesca.

I like them all, possibly Felicity the least.
