After 33 weeks of bickering me and DP have finally picked 3 girls names we agree on. :)

Francesca
Felicity
Edith/Edie

Now it's just a case of picking one of those Confused

I have a feeling that Edie is the new Evie. I still love it though and would pick this from your list.

Felicity or Edith. Both lovely.

Don't like Francesca.

Felicity is lovely :) (I like Fliss or Flick)

Edith - too old fashioned and reminds me of 'Allo Allo.

Francesca - the only one I know is a lying, cheating, husband (not mine) stealing bitch who treats her own kids like crap and everyone elses too... so no, not keen on that, although there may be a little personal projection there maybe [bgrin]

like them all, also know a Francesca, nn Chessie, which I like too. Also used to know a Felicity nn Fizz - maybe a bit too 80's though!

Think Felicity's lovely, not a fan of Francesca though, just really dislike it for some reason! Blush
Think the definite worst is Edith though, it makes me think of little old ladies and not little babies! Smile

Felicity "Treacle" will forever be associated with Ms Kendal of the Good Life. Given how she has endured that can be no bad thing.

Edith is a bit Piaff! So non rien de rien.

Edie is good, though someone is bound to say it Eddie at school just for a laugh.

Francesca will mean she is called Frankie. Always think about the short name - do you remember me.

Go Felicity "Treacle" and if you don't know about the "Treacle" check out the Young Ones.

Francesca is lovely, Italian and classy. I know a girl called that and her nickname is 'Chess!" Frances, on the other hand, I find a bit dull.

Edie is nice, but not Edith - Eden maybe?

Felicity is OK but a bit jolly hockeysticks maybe?

Francesca and Felicity are both gorgeous. Not so keen on Edith although Edie is passable.

The only Francesca at school went by Cessy. Felicity can be shortened to Fel, Flick or Fliss in my experience.

Francesca, definitely. I wouldn't choose either of the other two.

However, since you've got three names you both like, the best thing is to wait and see which one your LO looks like when they arrive :) Good luck!
