Etta or Frances

[Loola24]

So I have 4 weeks left and it's getting a bit of a worry that we have no name.
It changes constantly but these two names have stuck on every list and keep coming back up so I'm guessing these are the two I must love.
Husband says I'm over thinking and just need to pick! He loves both.

Thoughts?
Etta? On its own or as a nn please suggest longer names
Frances - love the classic feel and it's timeless.

Mil is Rosetta known as Etta and her middle name is Frances!

Rosetta nice too!

Just Etta, no need for a longer name. Utterly perfect name.

I love Etta!

With Frances, will it bother you if people pronounce it a different way to you due to their accent? I would pronounce it Frances with a short 'a' but down South it would be Fraances (long a) iyswim. Kind of like Tanya/Tarnya. Unless she becomes Frannie then it's not a problem!

Do you have a middle name picked out? I like both. Why not Etta Frances?

Thanks everyone. Etta is my favourite and I'm glad it is so well received. That's decided.
Elizabeth is my middle name of choice. That's why I loved Elisabetta and I could have had Frances as a middle name.
I will go with Etta Elizabeth.
My son's middle name is Francis so I clearly love the name but maybe it would have caused problems with a boy and girl having Frances and Francis in both names. Although it doesn't bother me!!!

Etta's really lovely, OP.

And such a legendary namesake...hope you don't mind me posting this short clip, in honour of your soon-to-be-arriving DD.

Good luck for her delivery!

Frances is beautiful and traditional, can imagine on both a child and a woman!

Etta is still pretty though ! X

Etta is lovely. Original and classy. And I love Etta James.

I love Etta.

Etta Elizabeth is a great name op

I have an Etta. I love it!

LoveEtta !

I like both, though slightly prefer Frances. Perhaps because it makes me think of badgers.

My name ends with etta and it doesn't feel like a good name on it's own at all to me. Also makes me think about eating (I 'et' a cake).

I much prefer names that give choice, especially as my childhood nick name was very similar to etta (like Betta for Elisabetta) and I don't use it at all any more. So I'd chose a longer form personally.

My name (which I love) is on this list, perhaps one works for you OP?
