exoticfruits · 18/06/2012 22:02

I like them all-Louisa wins.

winkle2 · 18/06/2012 21:52

Frances Eleanora is lovely and I ADORE the nn Frankie

zeeboo · 18/06/2012 21:33

Frances.

soontobemumofthree · 18/06/2012 21:32

I love the name Frances, my daughters middle name (mainly not her 1st name as close friend Francis). Like the other 2 too but prob prefer Louise to Louisa

ThisAintKansas · 18/06/2012 19:45

Frances is divine.

Louisa is lovely.

Eleonora is way too fussy.

lizbee156 · 18/06/2012 19:02

Louisa.
I have a cousin called Louisa and she's lovely.

Stellan If we did go with Eleanora she would most likely be called Nora, as all the Ellie/Ella names are crazily common where we live. :)

All beautiful. Wish my mum had that list!

Stellan · 18/06/2012 16:16

Louisa then Frances then Eleanora.

Eleanora is a bit of a mouthful to say for me although it does look pretty. I'd probably just use Eleanor or Nora/Norah.

MarySA · 18/06/2012 13:00

Louisa

StepOutOfSpring · 18/06/2012 12:12

Frances Eleanora sounds great, lovely idea :)

Frances is a new one so I'm infatuated with it at the moment Jazz. :o

Also I feel like I sort of have to use Eleanora. Long ago, my favorite name was Ella (about a decade ago, before it became wildly popular.) Then when I found out DH's grandmother's name was Eleanora, called Ella, I figured it was fate :). I loved it so much that my SIL didn't use it...but now I've gone off it. But I feel like I should use it, if I ever have a DD, because I think she'd have liked an Ella.

Perhaps I could get away with it in the middle...Frances Eleanora? :)

You seem more leaning towards Frances... Why don't you just go for it?! Smile

Oh and Frances was Judy Garland's birth name, and I adore her.

Triplets would solve your problem very nicely. Smile

Thanks math. When I TTC I need to try for triplets, is what. Wink

The thing about Frances is that it has many meanings for me...The Secret Garden (by Frances Burnett) is one of my all time favorite books, and I love Franny and Zooey, and the hilarious children's books about the badger, and St Frances of Rome was lovely...

I love Frances. Eleanora is fab too, esp with the nn Nora (but not Ellie). Louisa is gorgeous.

Sorry, no help...

PetitRat · 18/06/2012 05:43

Frances, then Eleanora, then Louisa. All pretty :)

PurplePanda · 18/06/2012 02:58

Frances is very pretty. Like Elenor and Ellie too. Not Louisa.

Louisa

ToxicMoxie · 18/06/2012 01:20

my problem with Louisa is how many people actually "Louisar". These are tthe same people who say Florider.
