Any views, any suggestions. I am really struggling with making a decision.

I like a not too showy name, a little plain without being staid and dull.

Thank you.

Love Beatrice. Not keen on the others Smile

Beatricebyes, others not so sure, like annalise but not annaliese.honor no leonora no.

Thanks, I am being pathologically indecisive about choosing a name. I can not do it!

I love the name Cora and it suits very well but surname begins with Cor so is no good.

Beatrice is nice and I think safe so I may go for it but trying to find one I love!

Honor gets my vote.
I think it's pretty and elegant.

Rhubarbgarden · 19/02/2013 13:53

Annaliese is a beautiful name. I don't like the others, personally.

MERLYPUSS · 19/02/2013 14:09

Honor or Beatrice.

Bue · 19/02/2013 14:24

Love them all! Honor is my favourite though, I think it's a beautiful name.

MidnightMasquerader · 19/02/2013 18:29

I love all of them except Beatrice, which for some reason I just do not 'get'. I can't see a pretty name at all.

The others are lovely, though.

Sarah2506 · 19/02/2013 18:47

My mum is an Honor but she has never used it which I think is a shame. It's distinctive and classy!

farmersdaughter · 19/02/2013 19:19

We have an Honor, so naturally we think its a brilliant name Grin

If we ever had another DD..she would be if we don't change our mindsBeatrice.

I know a Leonora aka Leo which is quite funky. Not so keen on Annaliese.

Lovely names!

I like Anneliese Honor,
Leonora Beatrice.

Although I like Honor and Beatrice, I think Anneliese and Leonora are nicer. Beatrice and Honor lovely as middle names.

oooggs · 19/02/2013 19:38

Annalisa?

Stixswhichtwizzle · 19/02/2013 20:12

Love Beatrice. It's my favourite from your list.

lucywiltshire · 19/02/2013 20:25

love them all.

chocosaurus · 19/02/2013 20:33

I like Beatrice and love Bea as nn. Like but don't love the rest

deleted203 · 19/02/2013 20:43

Not Annaliese. She was my best friend from 11 - 19 (and then she shagged my fiance). It tends to sour you somewhat on the name!

TenthMuse · 19/02/2013 21:43

Another vote for Honor here - love it; it's strong, elegant and unusual without being too 'out there'. I've tried to like Beatrice, but just can't warm to it - always seems a bit clunky to me. Anneliese is pretty but (in my opinion) a bit 'nothingy', and I knew an absolutely unbearable Leonora at university, which totally ruined that one for me!

Welly558 · 20/02/2013 00:37

Beatrice is very sweet. As is Beatrix if you want a different take on it. I love the nickname Bea for a girl.x

SoggySummer · 20/02/2013 10:58

Beatrice - Lovely
Annalise - nice
Honor - No
Leonora - just about OK

Beatrice is the only one I really like on your list but none are offensive or odd. I see Beatrice mentioned a lot on these baby name threads and wonder if its going to become really popular though.

Bonsoir · 20/02/2013 11:12

Beatrice is lovely.
I prefer Annalisa to Annaliese but am not wild about either.
Honor is pretty in a slightly severe, ballet-dancer sort of way.
I prefer Eleonora to Leonora.

mrsnobby · 20/02/2013 12:22

Honor gets my vote.

blue22 · 20/02/2013 12:39

Another Anneliesa vote here - and love the traditional spelling of it.
Not keen on Beatrice for some reason - it just seems a bit 'hard'.

NappiesandGladrags · 20/02/2013 21:14

Annalise or Honor for me , really like Beatrice too

fraktion · 20/02/2013 21:22

I think Beatrice is already quite popular but I've never warmed to it.

Honor is lovely, Leonora possibly difficult to carry off, Annaliese or any variant will have a terrible time spelling it to people.
