How will I ever choose? Literally cannot do it so could one of you choose for me? Please?

We had Eloise, Erin and Elise on our shortlist for youngest DD. When we saw her she was definitely an Erin. She loves her name and so do we.

Congratulations OP 💐

I like Matilda best followed by Claudia then Eloise

Only Martha. A beautiful classic.

Claudia and Eloise are both lovely!

Claudia is my top choice at the moment for a DD - I love it, so classical, international and elegant but underused in the UK. If the "meaning" doesn't bother you it's gorgeous imo.

I don't dislike any of your other choices, apart from Martha which sounds dowdy to me, sorry. But Erin and Matilda are both pretty popular, and Eloise is also fairly well used thanks to the trend for El- names (so she could get nn Ellie?). Elsa is gorgeous imo but the Frozen thing doesn't seem to be going away yet, although a kid might like that?

For me of your favourites it would be Claudia, followed by Eloise, then finally popular Matilda.

Ack, how did I not notice this was a zombie!

Elsa - nice ...but Frozen
Erin - faux Irish. Harsh sounding and nothingy
Eloise - I find it a bit of a mouthful. Some say or spell it as Elouise which is awful
Matilda - nice but overused. Tilda as a nn is not great, and Tilly a bit wet
Claudia - not keen. Claudine is nicer

I'd keep looking

The reason you can't choose is that none of them are right.

She probably came to a decision at some point in the last eight years....
