If DH likes Francesca, what else?

DH likes Francesca for dc3, I'm not so sure. We already have a Nina and a Greta. We both like Astrid but also not sure on that. Any other ideas?

Love both Astrid and Francesca. Francesca was on my shortlist all three times and Astrid was in my final three for my last daughter.

In case we have similar tastes, the names I did pick and the other names on my long shortlists are/were:

Amy, Annabelle, Arabella, Alexis, Alexandra, Amber, Abigail, Cassidy, Cassandra, Cerys, Eden, Felicity, Fallon, Giselle, Genesis, Georgina, Hannah, Isabelle, Isabella, Jessica, Joanna, Juliette, Lyra, Matilda, Miranda, Madeleine, Natalie, Natasha, Nia, Rhiannon, Sophia, Savannah, Sadie, Thea, Verity, Xanthe, Zara, Zia

Names I've since wished I'd thought of are:

Aphra, Mila, Mala, Xanthippe, Cameron, Lara, Madison, Kayleigh, Effie, Etta, Ayla, Aria

The francesca i know has two sisters called alixandra and georgia.
Thought they are known as Frank Alix and George, which throws people when these blonde angelic girls walk in :)

I have a Francesca and also considered (21 years ago!) Felicity, imogen, Angharad, Saskia, caoimhe, Claudia and Isobel. I seem to have been a bit ahead of my time!!

LeoandBoosmum · 07/04/2015 15:17

Francesca is beautiful and underused; also ending in an 'a' it keeps all your girls with names ending in the same letter and sound which is nice *maybe that's just me!
Your DH may also like Octavia, Imogen, Elise, Sylvie, Isla, Clara, Helena.

LeoandBoosmum · 07/04/2015 15:19

Forget to mention Orla which is so pretty and would go well with Nina and Greta :)

LeoandBoosmum · 07/04/2015 15:20

Oops, also Petra, though I like Orla and Francesca better :)

AugustaGloop · 07/04/2015 15:24

Anya would go well with the others.
