Francesca Alice or Annabel Georgia opinions please?

[autumnmeg]

I have 8 weeks to go until DD2 arrives. I have narrowed down our list to these two names, both are classic and have nice shortenings. Our surname begins with C. Which do you prefer and any other name suggestions?

Short names to go with Alice Francesca:
Jane, Anne, Kate, Rose.

Or you could go with Alice Annabel.

Francesca Alice is lovely, though Annabel Georgia is also pretty it doesn't have the impact that Francesca Alice has, also I prefer the Annabelle spelling. Francesca is not as popular as Annabel and its many derivatives so that is another plus.
I'd be cautious of adding a third name unless it was one you really loved or one with perhaps family links, you risk just adding a standard "middle" name.

Rose
Pearl
Joy
Grace
Hope
Blythe
Mary/Marie
Noelle

Francesca Alice is lovely!

I really like the name Francesca, but I don't think it flows well with Alice (due to the two 'a' sounds next to eachother), and also don't think it will work with a C surname due to the two 'c' sounds together. Even if you add more middle names, she'll be Francesca C...... Most of the time. So I vote Annabel Georgia.

I actually like the two hard C's next to each other. Francesca Cooper, e.g. sounds good. She doesn't have to be Fran. She can be Francesca, Frances, Frankie, Chess, Chessa, Ciska (soft s like you'd have in Frances), Sissy, etc.

I prefer Francesca Alice or Alice Franscesca. Francesca needn't be shortened to Fran; I know a Cesca, aka Chessie.

Not a fan of Annabel or Georgia.

Annabel Georgia is lovely. Like others have said, I'm not keen on the nicknames for Francesca but like Anna/Annie/Belle. Although the Annabel I know has always just been Annabel.

Annabel Georgia is lovely. Francesca Alice also nice but prefer Annabel.
