nickname would be Frankie if we go with Frances, i am still considering Francesca or just Frankie.

Opinions on which is your favourite out of Stella and Frances(ca) and why please!

Love Francesca. Also like Frances.
Stella's okay, not my favourite, although I do quite like Estella for some reason.

Francesca is too frilly for me. Frances and Stella are both lovely.

I don't like Stella as it just reminds me of the beer.

Frances is a bit frumpy/ old ladyish. Francesca is lovely but the possibility of it being shorted to Fran puts me off. I really like Frankie though.

Both very lovely names, I'd go for Stella !

I love Francesca.

Stella and Francesca are two of my favourite names. As you are planning on Frankie (which I hate) I'd choose Stella

Stella is beautiful.

Frances is frumpy and not particularly feminine.

Frances (or Francesca)

Not Stella (lager)

Love Frankie! I think I slightly prefer Francesca over Frances but both are nice.

Not too keen on Stella - it sounds a bit metallic to me.

Stella

Stella

Stella. Because it's fab.

And if it gets really popular I wont regret that DS was not a DD and I didn't get to use it Grin

Francesca. Beautiful, under used name.
