Help us Decide on a Name pt2: Ellen or Frances

27 replies

We are having a last minute wobble on names. And we need to make a quick decision, so any late help would be appreciated...

We have narrowed it down to Ellen (thanks for everyone's help in that thread...) and Frances. Both are, we think, classic, understated and underused names. But which do you prefer and why? Any pitfalls we might not have thought of? We don't really mind '...what other people think' but want the best for DD ;-)

Thanks.

Love Ellen, not keen on Frances.

Much prefer Frances. It's an elegant and grown up name with a touch of 1940s glamour about it.

Ellen is a bit meek and plain in comparison.
