Thanks Chatelaine. I will let you know which one I choose. I think as things stand tonight, I am still favouring Esther, followed closely by Florence & Beatrix - with Isabella being the middle name Smile

Hi ladies. Just to let you know that we have decided on a name but it has been a bit of a carry on to say the least. My DD was born on the 7th and after 3 days with no name decided on Etsher Grace. However, after calling her this and informing family and friends, I became really weepy because I felt that the name didn't suit her (not sure why!). Anyway 2 weeks on and only yesterday we came to a final decision with the help of my 3 year old DS (I let him choose out of a choice of 3 names) and we have opted for Florence Annabel, which I do think really suits her. It has been really difficult because one set of parents loves Esther, whilst the other didn't and one set loves florence and dislikes Florence. I know that I shouldn't let any feedback sway me but it did a little Blush but feel happy with my DS's choice. Thanks for all your feedback Grin

Congratulations - glad you are happy with your final choice!

Very pretty BTW!

I like Beatrice.... Bea as a nickname is very cute.

Such a shame that Isabella is so popular, I really used to like that name but have removed it from my list now as now it's popular I've gone off it.

How about some of the similar ones - Anabella, Arabella, Isabelle etc?

Excellent choice - I love love love Florence!!!

merlino123 · 21/09/2010 14:37

Sorry didn't read your above post or the dates (new here and confused pregnant lady!) sounds a brilliant choice, what a pretty name x

lovely name! congratulations

mummamango · 21/09/2010 21:23

Florence or Isabella!

We loved Isabella too but as its soo popular these days opted for the hugely rare Arabella (well, in theses parts anyway). I LOVE the name tho it does sound very posh sometimes. She is usually Bella which is just gorgeous too.
Florence Annabel is heavenly.Many congrats!!!
