Girls list, all very different!

[busterk]

Hi, I am currently liking several girls names however they are all different. Let me know your thoughts on them please.

Francesca (My Papa is called Francesco)
Claudia
Sadie (This was my Gran's name - DH not keen on this!)
Ainsley (There is just something I really like about this name)

Thanks.

They are all really lovely!

If I had to choose one at a push I'd say Claudia because it came a close second on my list for dd.

Francesca, Claudia and Sadie are lovely.

Not keen on Ainsley myself. Makes me think of the TV chef or the annoying lawyer in the West Wing! That may belong on the 'irrational dislike' thread though, so feel free to ignore me!

Thanks, DD1 is Olivia so not sure if Francesca and Claudia are too matchy! Does Ainsley strike you as a boys name?

definitely Francesca. beautiful and under-used name.

Thanks YoullScream that was my concern.

If you have an Olivia, I would probably go Sadie or Francesca. Olivia and Claudia are maybe a wee bit similar.

Absolutely love Francesca

I have an Olivia and her middle name is Sadie I really like Francesca and Claudia is my husbands favourite name ever We didn't use it for any of our three daughters and he's never forgiven me!

Is your Olivia always called Olivia? If not, then Claudia is fine. Although I prefer Francesca and Sadie.

I really like your list!

Claudia or Ainsley for me. It's a shame about Ainsley Harriott but it is a girls' name, isn't it? Also like the way Olivia and Ainsley sound together.

Sadie!

Claudia. Ainsley is a man's name or a chain of pie shops.

Francesca - as long as you promise not to call her Fran.....

Are you thinking claud-ia or cloud-ia as the pronunciation? I have met several 'cloud-ia' s recently and makes me think of grey days.

Claudia is lovely. Don't like Ainsley at all and not fond of Sadie.

Sadie is so beautiful! I hadn't considered it before but reading it now its shot straight onto my list for expected baby

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I have been out all night so not been able to check back in.

I prefer to say Claudia to sound like claw. Olivia gets called everything from O to Ollie.

Jojay, would never call her Fran!

Glad you have all been positive about my list.

Francesca is my favourite, but I like most of them. Not keen on Ainsley - I just can't get past the chef who makes me want to throw things at the tv!

Sadie then Francesca
