We've had a gender scan on Saturday and it was confirmed bump is a girl. We have 3 names we like but we really can't choose.
The choices are;
Eleanor
Lucy
Penelope.

Thoughts please. Thank you

I like Eleanor. Very sweet.

AdaColeman · 26/10/2020 11:11

All are lovely names, but Eleanor is my favourite.

I really don’t like Eleanor! I find it so dull, boring nothing at all interesting or feminine. I like Lucy best then Penelope.

Lucy is my favourite - so simple, classic and pretty. I don't love Eleanor but think Ellie and Nora are very nice nicknames. Not a fan of Penelope I'm afraid.

I like Lucy. I’m a fan of a simple name and I think Lucy is really pretty.

Lucy. All are ok, but Penelope will be Pen or Penny. I'm not that keen on Eleanor as there are so many vowelly names around.

Eleanor as there are so many variants that can be used too for short (unless you don't want her name shortening)
Ellie
Ella
Nelly
Nora

If it helps my other children have a mix of 2 and 3 syllable names.

I really like Lucy and Penelope. The problem with Eleanor is that Ellie is super popular (if that bothers you).

Spidey66 · 26/10/2020 08:44

Eleanor is my favourite girls name ever, so I'd go for that. I think it's elegant, timeless and I like Ellie as a nn.

Out of the other 2, I like Lucy but not keen on Penelope.

They're all lovely.

Eleanor is nicest imo and has the best nickname options.

Perro · 26/10/2020 08:41

Lucy, it’s pretty and timeless.
I’m not a fan of long names like the other 2.
