We have 2 daughters and are thinking through names for DD 3. We are pretty set on Francesca as a middle name (family name) and the moment our favourite first names are Bonnie, Nancy and Eliza. Our other 2 DD names our similar (I think) in that they’re well known names but not very commonly used. We live abroad (so I may be out of touch with popular names!) a but planning to move home soon after baby 3 is born.

So what do you think?
Bonnie Francesca
Nancy Francesca
Eliza Francesca

Thank you!

Bonnie Francesca
Nancy Francesca
Eliza Francesca

Prefer Connie to Bonnie.
Nancy is great.
Not keen on Eliza.
Francesca as a middle name is OK.

Middle names aren't really used much.
I'd pick Nancy

I love Bonnie Francesca and think it flows beautifully. Completely disagree with the pp who said they don't go!

I like Eliza Francesca the least because they both end in a.

All 3 are gorgeous! I think if I were forced to pick I’d go Nancy or Bonnie, but whichever you choose your daughter will have a beautiful name

Bonnie Francesca sounds like a lassy called Francesca who was awful bonny in an old folk story.

Not sure of that's good or bad.

I like Nancy best, but they're all lovely names.

I prefer the other 2 names tbh. Bonnie is too cutesy for me and sounds odd to essentially be naming a child 'pretty'.

Nancy is my favourite but Eliza is nice too. Both go great with Francesca as a mn.

Bonnie Francesca sounds a bit like a folk song. The other two work well though.

Whatisityoucantface · 27/05/2023 09:51

Nancy is a lovely name imo

LightDrizzle · 27/05/2023 09:49

Eliza 100%

Lovestodrinkmilk · 27/05/2023 09:48

They are all nice names, but I feel Bonnie and Francesca don't go together. They sound as though they are from different times or styles. Eliza Francesca is better imho.

Thanks so much! Ooh good point. We have a short 2 syllable surname ending in d so I think we should be ok

I love it. Bonnie Francesca is lovely. Obviously depends a bit on the surname as long as it’s not an ‘eee’ at the end of your surname it sounds great. I only know of one Bonnie and she’s about 5 and also abroad. It’s cute.
