Eleanor is way the best name..and my Eleanor is never Ellie, even at school.
I think Eleanor Elizabeth works actually...

Unoriginalusername123 · 12/01/2016 21:02

I really like Madeline and Imogen from your list.

PollyPocket100 · 12/01/2016 21:02

Love Imogen!

Shadow1986 · 12/01/2016 21:04

Florence Elizabeth, definitely.

Don't give her the initials MEH

Not keen on Imogen, no idea why.

Eleanor, Madeleine, Florence all lovely.

Amelia v nice name but HUGELY popular.

Darcey is an odd choice amid all the other traditional names. I didn't like it at all until this year. Now I teach two really lovely Darceys and it has changed the way I feel about the name, but I do think it is one of those 'Scarlett', or "Willow" type names that will end up being a bit like Sharon and Tracey.

Imogen!

unicornthong · 13/01/2016 05:23

I don't really like any of them, least of all Darcey.

Florence is nice, but it's my cat's name, Florrie for short. Smile

I love them all. Imogen I see as more
Scandinavian than wannabe. I love Eleanor & Florence. I do like Madeleine but slightly less so. On the Fence with Darcey. Loved it a few years ago lately can't shake this feeling it looks a strange written down.

jamtartandcustard · 13/01/2016 21:17

Imogen was the name we had pick if ds3 had been a girl so that's the one that gets my vote

Allalonenow · 13/01/2016 21:20

Imogen, it's a beautiful name.
Not keen on Darcey.

Paddletonio · 13/01/2016 21:23

Florence Imogen Eleanor Madeleine all lovely

PinkFairy22 · 15/01/2016 16:17

Florence, Imogen and Madeleine are my faves

hawkmcqueen · 15/01/2016 20:43

I wouldn't combine Elizabeth and darcy personally but then again I'm a massive Jane Austin fan and everyone knows that, so wouldn't like to look like I'm naming dd after my favourite book.

carben · 18/01/2016 16:26

Eleanor would be my pick. Although I think I would probably spell it Elinor. Classic and beautiful.

minipie · 18/01/2016 16:35

Madeleine, with the e if you're in the uk

eatmytoes888 · 18/01/2016 17:07

Another vote for Florence Elizabeth !

ifgrandmahadawilly · 18/01/2016 17:26

Madeline, Darcey, Eleanor or Imogen get my vote.

Not a fan of Florence and Amelia is far too popular at the moment.

crispytruffle · 19/01/2016 10:05

I like them all apart from Darcy. Florence is my all time favourite name, I couldn't use it for my children but have always loved it.
