Please not Chelsea as that's a football team and the only Eden I know is very cute, but a little boy.

The others are nice - given the boys names I'd tend to the shorter less traditional ones, Isla, Mia, Esme ?

Mama1980 · 11/07/2012 11:38

My favourite is esme and think not works well with the boys names. Like Eden too but I think it's generally a boys name-I know 2.

NoComet · 11/07/2012 11:39

I love Amelia and Phoebe too.

littlemissbroody26 · 11/07/2012 11:40

I love the names esme and isla... not so kean on chelsea, isabella is a lovely name and bella is a greta nn.. but maybe she would be one of many in her class.

Best of luck with the birth :)

hmmm i reread your post and im not sure isla leanne works... its a bit of a tongue twister.

LoonyRationalist · 11/07/2012 12:01

IMO those with "l" in don't work with Leanne (so Isla, Ella, Isabella and Amelia) Although it depends how often you expect to use the middle name, it may not be enough to rule them out?

Out of the rest I prefer (in order - I only really like the top 3)

Esme (although I am biased ;) )
Sophia
Phoebe
Mia
Eden
Chelsea

Loathe Chelsea and Eden - they're a bit Jersey Shore sounding.

Love all the others. Any of those would be wonderful and classic. Good list other than the two above (which seem a little surprising and out of place compared to the others!)

Lovely

Sophia
Amelia
Isabella

OK

Phoebe

Don't Like

Isla
Ella
Eden
Esme
Mia
Chelsea

Isla, Esme and Phoebe would be my choice from your list really nice! Good luck with your dd!

amck5700 · 11/07/2012 14:18

I think they are all nice names but not that struck on Chelsea, unless you are goig to reel of her full name at every opportunity, i don't think it matters too much about whether it goes with the middle name particularly well as long as it sounds nice with your surname, which I think they all do. My personal favourite from them would be Amelia (ewith Ella as a close 2nd) as I think that sounds lovely with your two boys. All the best for the birth and let us know what you decide :o)

I know 2 Eden's and they are both lovely little girls, one is 7 and the other 2.

Love Phoebe Eden and Amelia . Sophia has become very popular lately . Don't hate any of the rest but neither like them enough to consider . HTH Smile

ThatllDoPig · 11/07/2012 14:23

Phoebe
beautiful name, and works best with Leanne

rainonmyparade · 11/07/2012 14:28

Not so keen on Chelsea but all other names are nice.
