Hi all, posted a little while back for help chopping down our short list.
My little girl was born yesterday morning, we're still undecided though we have narrowed it down to 3!
So good ladies of mumsnet (and the odd gentleman of course!) which do you like best?
Francesca, cosima or Ariana?
If it helps she has very very dark brown hair and big brown eyes like dh (he's of italian descent)

Ariana.

Really don't like Cosima.

Francesca!!! (I'm currently up feeding my 6 day old Francesca!)

CormoranStrike · 05/08/2014 01:26

Francesca is beautiful.

goldenbaygirl · 05/08/2014 01:27

Cosima!

MerryInthechelseahotel · 05/08/2014 01:35

Francesca 100%

Congratulations Thanks

Oriunda · 05/08/2014 07:40

I have a Cosmo (DH Italian and nonno is Cosimo) so I think Cosima is great! Not keen on Ariana (never actually heard this being used in Italy, seems more Greek to me?). Francesca is ten a penny in Italy so Cosima wins.

Ps Auguri!

Francesca is lovely. Congrats Grin

Cosima

Congrats!!!!!
Please take the full six weeks to register. No rush.
Also like the suggestion of Sylvia.

My fave Italian name is Gioia, pronounced joya.

From your description on her, I think she would suit Ariana best. It is a lovely name too. Congratulations! Thanks

sunshineandshowers · 05/08/2014 11:51

Ariana

IsabellaRoarsome · 05/08/2014 13:06

Thanks everyone, oriunda Ariana and cosima both have Greek origins rather then italian but we just loved them we also had Aurelia on our list for the poster who suggested it Smile Sylvia is a lovely name but I prefer sylvie which we are considering as her middle name so lots of like minded ladies here I like it Grin
We're taking our time and getting a feel for the names with her, our dd (Isabella) really likes the nn Mimi for Cosima as do we so were leaning that way atm but I'll keep you posted.

I like Ariana best. Congratulations!

MsAspreyDiamonds · 05/08/2014 20:26

Ariana or not on your list - Lydia.

Lunastarfish · 05/08/2014 21:27

Francesca definitely! Congratulations btw

Mumtobenovember · 07/08/2014 19:40

Ariana

BunnyLebowski · 07/08/2014 19:43

Cosima. Absolutely! Mimi is amazing!

Francesca is a solid second. Both especially lovely for dark haired girls.

Ariana is twee and Disney Princess-y sounding. Really dislike.
