Hi all! My partner and I have been going back and forth on our list for a while now but we have managed to whittle it down to 5 options, so please let me know your thoughts or favourites of these:
Willow
Talia (pronounced Tah-lee-a)
Beau - I know this is predominantly male but I think it is cute
Melanie
Frances (After my grandad Francis)

Beau = male
Belle = female

Talia Frances would be nice, and a lovely way to honour your grandad.

I don't like Beau at all, and it is a boy's name to me, unless I think of Little Bo-Peep.

Melanie is OK, but not my favourite of your list.

Frances is my favourite. Willow is also nice. Beau is not great IMO because it's not just predominantly male - it refers to a male. I do agree with you that it's a nice sounding name but I think it's best to avoid. Talia is nice enough but I can take it or leave it. Not keen on Melanie.

I like Talia and Frances. Beau is truly awful.

Definitely Frances after your grandad ❤
