Down to three names for DD... which one to choose??

67 replies

The list for our soon-to-be-born DD has been whittled down to three names (this took a while, as DH has been very indecisive this time around!) We each have a different favourite.

The contenders are:
Eloise
Beatrice
Annabel

Brothers are Oscar and Leo. Two-syllable surname. Would love opinions on the final three - this is our last baby and I am anxious to avoid name regrets!

Eloise for me too, gorgeous.

Annabel from me

Beatrice

Annabel. Can be shortened to Anna or Bel when older.

WellErrr · 04/04/2016 06:49

Annabel

HeteronormativeHaybales · 04/04/2016 07:14

Beatrice or Eloise.

Beatrice

Beatrice. Love Bea as a nickname

DrDiva · 04/04/2016 07:36

Beatrice. But then I am an ex teacher with horror memories attached to many names!!

INeedNewShoes · 04/04/2016 07:38

I'd go for Annabel. Oscar, Leo and Annabel just has a good sound to it and I love the name Annabel.

Beatrice

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/04/2016 09:16

Annabel

Spottyladybird · 04/04/2016 09:18

Beatrice and Annabel go with your boys names.

MerryMarigold · 04/04/2016 09:21

I think any of them go with your boys. Not fond of Annabel as it is v specifically girly. (prefer Anna). I like Eloise, though also like Eleanor

Voldymort · 04/04/2016 09:28

Annabel reminds me of the horror film, Eloise sounds to similar to Leo..
Id go for Beatrice

AmysTiara · 04/04/2016 09:30

Not Beatrice but the other two are both nice.

Lexipedia · 04/04/2016 09:30

Eloise was on my list.

MerryMarigold · 04/04/2016 09:43

Or how about Lois? I love that.

TremoloGreen · 04/04/2016 09:51

Another vote for Beatrice.

DramaAlpaca · 04/04/2016 09:52

Annabel or Beatrice.

Eloise is actually my favourite of the three, but Eloise and Leo are a bit too much of a tongue-twister together IMO.

Bunnybop · 04/04/2016 09:53

Definitely Beatrice. I really dislike Eloise although I don't know why.

Abecedario · 04/04/2016 09:54

Love Eloise and also the Heloise spelling.

I like your others too though! Sorry not helpful.

LetsSplashMummy · 04/04/2016 09:59

I think Eloise, although lovely, is too similar to Leo, the other two are both lovely though so I'm sure you'll be fine.
