Eloise or Beatrice?

After much discussion, DH and I like these two names.

One of us slightly prefers Beatrice and one of us slightly prefers Eloise, but we both like both names enough to use either IYSWIM.

Other names one of us (but not both) likes are: Annabel, Serena, Marianne.

Which would you pick? Any other suggestions?

ha - volauvent has picked DH's favourites and MizK you have picked mine...

I love that Plaza book and don't mind the association - DD will definitely not be living off room service mind you (well actually she probably will for the first few months now I think about it Grin)

I love Eloise! (Although I always think of the Plaza and 'Charge it, please!' :) )

Serena is pretty too.

Thanks both, 2 different answers out of 2 so far Grin

Geranium I love a couple of those but used by close friends/relatives so out.

DD3 was going to be Beatrice (LOVE IT)

DH really wanted Annabelle and played his trump card (I had named the other 2)

DD3 is Annabelle! Grin
