Down to three names for DD... which one to choose??

The list for our soon-to-be-born DD has been whittled down to three names (this took a while, as DH has been very indecisive this time around!) We each have a different favourite.

The contenders are:
Eloise
Beatrice
Annabel

Brothers are Oscar and Leo. Two-syllable surname. Would love opinions on the final three - this is our last baby and I am anxious to avoid name regrets!

Annabel reminds me of the horror film, Eloise sounds to similar to Leo..
Id go for Beatrice

I think any of them go with your boys. Not fond of Annabel as it is v specifically girly. (prefer Anna). I like Eloise, though also like Eleanor

Beatrice and Annabel go with your boys names.

Beatrice

I'd go for Annabel. Oscar, Leo and Annabel just has a good sound to it and I love the name Annabel.

Beatrice. But then I am an ex teacher with horror memories attached to many names!!
