Help! I'm 33 weeks and I'm hoping when baby arrives I'll know what the right name is, but some people have told me that doesn't always happen! I find my preference keeps changing :(

Which name do you like best?

Elizabeth
Charlotte
Rebecca

Charlotte

TheReluctantCountess · 13/07/2015 16:45

They are all nice names, but if I had to choose, I would go for Elizabeth.

LemonYellowSun · 13/07/2015 16:42

Elizabeth. Without question

ashesandfire · 13/07/2015 16:40

I like all of them.

Rebecca is probably my favourite as a full name, but I can't bear Bex or Becky as nicknames. Charlotte is lovely and I like Lottie as a nn but loathe Charlie. I think you always have to consider the likely nicknames because even if you insist on the full name while LO is little, she might choose one of them when she's older.

So Elizabeth gmv. I like it, although I maybe find it a little boring. I love the nicknames though - Beth, Libby, Lily, Liza/Lizzie, all lovely IMO.

I do love Rebecca, though there were a lot born in the 80s. The others are also nice.

MamaLazarou · 13/07/2015 12:32

Rebecca. Such a glamorous and romantic name (thanks to Daphne du Maurier).

They are all nice, though.

reuset · 13/07/2015 12:05

Elizabeth. The other names are also good, but Elizabeth is wonderful with wealth of shortening and nick name potential

CPtart · 13/07/2015 11:10

Elizabeth or Rebecca, with no silly nn, preferably no nn at all.
Would avoid Charlotte.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/07/2015 11:05

Are you thinking of using short names for any of them?

IF yes I like Elizabeth NN Libby.

If no, then Rebecca is the full name I ike best.

MuttonCadet · 13/07/2015 11:01

I love all of them, but Elizabeth is my favourite.

MyNightWithMaud · 13/07/2015 11:00

Rebecca

alovelycuppatea · 13/07/2015 10:58

They are all lovely. I'd opt for either Elizabeth or Rebecca - I do like Charlotte but given the royal connection I'd get annoyed with people asking if I named her after the new princess!

Bobian123 · 13/07/2015 10:08

Elizabeth for me (although I like all your names). So many options if you want them -Libby, Beth, Eliza, liz, lizzie, Betsy, Betty...

BeautifulBatman · 13/07/2015 05:34

Bitsy?? Confused

chocoLit · 13/07/2015 00:17

Elizabeth nn bitsy

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 13/07/2015 00:15

Rebecca. Beautiful timeless classic.

I've always wanted to use the name Rebecca Lucy. Never have though!

Rebecca

ToFleaOrNotToFlea · 12/07/2015 23:10

Rebecca is beautiful. I am not keen on Becky, but like Becca as a nn

ItsMyFuckingWedding · 12/07/2015 22:44

Elizabeth is beautiful and there are so many nice nicknames

SirVixofVixHall · 12/07/2015 22:21

Like them all but like Rebecca the best. It was my great aunt's name, she was born around 1904.

MadameJosephine · 12/07/2015 22:20

Elizabeth by a mile. I love Libby as nn

BothEndsBurning · 12/07/2015 22:16

Charlotte

Wishful80sMontage · 12/07/2015 22:12

Elizabeth is by far the best of the three- beautiful classic name great nn options love Betsy or just fab on its own not met a baby Elizabeth

Marcipex · 12/07/2015 22:11

Elizabeth by a long way.

TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams · 12/07/2015 22:10

Rebecca - I know a very sweet 5 yo and many, many Charlotte's and Elis/zabeths

I don't think R is dated at all. It's a classic name though I am not a fan of Becky/Charlie/Lizzy
