My total favourite is:

  1. Willa Francoise ( Middle name non negotiable as family name)

DH likes Paloma Francoise
Flora Francoise

He doesn't like Willa but sure I can persuade him! What's your fav please ?I could compromise and call her Paloma but Lola for short.

Thanks in advance!

I love willa! flora and paloma are also really nice - go with your heart... For my dd1 I had two names in my mind and one did just click when I saw her...

Don't like Willa at all. Not overfond of Paloma. I like Flora but wouldn't use it with Francoise tbh.

Thanks onesietwosie! I don't need alternatives you are right! It's taken us 9 months and a lot of rows to get this far! I honestly have had sleepless nights over it! Not sure why as named our other DC so easily! Thanks all! Think we will have to see her before final decision but it seems Willa not that popular (someone once pointed out it was like Willow in a London accent!)

I really like flora, personally think it's the best of your three (if you can avoid the margarine connotations, which I can, but my DP can't Sad )

OnesieTwosie · 09/11/2013 18:56

Of your options, I prefer Flora. It's a little clunky with Francoise but you rarely say the full name out loud so that doesn't matter.

Good luck.

Spotted, the OP didn't ask for a load of random suggestions with three days to go! Grin

Confitdecanard · 09/11/2013 18:30

I quite like both Willa and Paloma but I think Paloma is slightly better.

LauraChant · 09/11/2013 18:23

I like Paloma and am not keen on Willa. Just my opinion though!

Thank you! It's fine not to like our name choices, we can't all like the same, but she will be one of these. Just wanted to know preferences! 50/50 at moment!

I don't like paloma or flora, but I do like willa and lola.
Maybe wait and decide once she's here? Hopefully then one would stick out more than the other!

Good luck :)

Of the 3 names I prefer Paloma Francoise

I'm afraid I don't like Willa at all.

Can you find a name you both like rather than having to compromise? If baby is not born yet, why not wait and see what she looks like!

How about
Cleo
Etta
Milla
Lila
Belle
Aurelia
Margo
Greta
Anya
Clara
Nyree
Nola
