Agonising over girls' names - dp won't go with my favourites (Martha, Hannah) so I think we're going to end up with a compromise. Current shortlist is something like:

Juliet
Alice
Francesca
Eleanor (Nell)
Lucy
Alexandra

Would love to hear brutally honest thoughts on these, or suggestions for others. I also really like Sarah but surname begins with R so a bit too much of a mouthful

We are on a similar wavelength.

We had Juliet, Alice and Francesca on our shortlist.

Obviously those are my favourites and I think Juliet is top. We didn't choose it as it was the name of one of DH's ex-girlfriends!

I love Eleanor with Nell as nickname. They are all nice names though.

I like Alice best of your your list, and think it is the most like your favs in cadence.
