My not-so-short shortlist (so far!)

[DessieLou]

Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering that I generated with Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder. Let me know what you think.

Girls
Ava
Ellena
Francesca
Jasmine
Leila
Lucy
Madeleine
Natalia
Natalie
Zara

I like them all but particularly natalia

Ava - like, though very popular
Ellena - OK
Francesca - OK, prefer Frances
Jasmine - like :)
Leila - not keen
Lucy - like :)
Madeleine - OK
Natalia - quite nice
Natalie - quite like
Zara - like :)

Ava - Beautiful but too popular for my liking
Ellena - Not keen
Francesca - Like a lot, was on out shortlist for DD
Jasmine - Not keen, can't imagine a blonde haired girl called Jasmine (thanks to Aladdin!)
Leila - prefer Layla, but essentially I like it
Lucy - DD's name. Biased. Love.
Madeleine - Beautiful
Natalia - Not keen
Natalie - Not Keen
Zara - Not keen

lucy and Natalie -yes like
the rest- not keen

I like Jasmine, Natalie and Zara best. Don't dislike any of the names on your list though.

Thanks guys. I agree that Ava is getting too popular (although I don't actually know any!) which is a shame as I've always loved it. Having said that, myself and OH's names both start with 'A' so probably best avoided!
And I think I'm going off Jasmine (although I may love it tomorrow!). Our current favourite is Natalie which is actually a surprise to me.
Thanks for your thoughts, it's always interesting to get the opinion of others in different areas of the UK.
