Louisa is one of my favourite names, but I have an irrational dislike of Georgina.
Viola is highly likely to get mistaken for Violet, since every other girl under 5 I meet is called Violet.
No real opinion on Victoria or Francesca.

Sleeperandthespindle · 06/05/2017 21:12

I love Louisa (clashed with my surname or I would definitely have chosen it), Victoria and Francesca.

SuperBeagle · 06/05/2017 21:13

I only like Louisa.

And love Georgia but loathe Georgina.

AdaColeman · 06/05/2017 21:19

All very lovely, but I especially like Viola, even prettier than the popular Violet.

Georgina is my least favourite, and Georgia too popular, but I like Georgiana as something a bit different.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/05/2017 21:20

Louisa is beautiful.
Second choice, Georgina.
Next, Victoria.
Don't like Viola/Francesca.

That's so interesting. I personally like Georgina but honestly dislike Georgia.

Ada I actually really like Georgiana. But there may be some spelling issues/confusion...

What a lovely list! I am less keen on Georgina and Viola than the others, but like them all a lot. My favourite is probably Louisa.

Rockaby · 06/05/2017 21:42

I love Georgiana fwiw, but don't like Georgia or Georgina as much.

ACatCalledFang · 06/05/2017 21:43

Louisa is also my favourite! Viola and Francesca are lovely, am less keen personally on Victoria and Georgina.

Rainatnight · 06/05/2017 21:44

I love Viola.

Are you a Chalet School fan?

29Palms · 06/05/2017 21:45

I like Victoria, you don't seem to meet many little Victorias nowadays.

Chocolatecake12 · 06/05/2017 21:48

Victoria is a beautiful name and IMO very under used.
Really not keen on Georgina - I know 2 who are both a both loud and bossy!
Viola is ok ish
Louisa is a pretty name. Softer sounding than Louise.
Francesca is not a favourite of mine - again I just know a couple who have put me off the name.
Your name choices are very classic though and I'm sure you will decide which one suits your new baby when it arrives.

CricketRuntAndRashers · 06/05/2017 21:49

Are you a Chalet School fan?

Not really, no. Blush

It seems like Louisa is the clear favourite :) And Georgina the least favourite name...

Thanks :)

Apart from Viola I like them all. Prefer Violet. Georgina lovely as is Georgiana. What about Catherine or Elizabeth?

mum2be2boys · 06/05/2017 23:46

Love the name Francesca, it was top of our girls list for both pregnancies, but we have two boys!

Sophronia · 07/05/2017 00:04

Love Louisa and like Georgina.

Joeybee · 07/05/2017 01:41

Victoria - love it. Elegant, classic, classy and any child can own this name. Dislike the nn Vicky though, which is the reason this name isn't higher on my list.

Georgina - bad personal associations with me tbh, so that clouds my judgement. I do prefer the name Georgiana. Love Georgie as a nn.

Louisa - Can't help but think of that woman on friends who shoots Phoebe in the ass with a dart! I like Louisa as a middle name, but for me it's not strong enough as a first name.

Viola - Nice, sweet name. A bit old-lady...but in a good way, as a lot of those kind of names are gaining popularity again and I think they are great. I prefer Violet though.

Francesca - Don't like it. Can't think why, it just doesn't sound nice to me. And Fran isn't the best nn either.

Lemonnaise · 07/05/2017 02:16

My favourite is Louisa.

Catinthecorner · 07/05/2017 02:49

Love Victoria but think you have a lovely selection listed

RadarLoveBug · 07/05/2017 03:07

Another vote for Louisa. Georgina is awful as is Viola. Francesca is lovely but I don't like the nicknames. Victoria is just meh.

CakeRattleandRoll · 07/05/2017 05:07

Love Francesca.

Jooni · 07/05/2017 07:31

Love Louisa and Viola.

Like Francesca and Georgina.

Not keen on Victoria.

CricketRuntAndRashers · 07/05/2017 11:48

Thank you for your helpful and kind responses :)

My favourites are probably Louisa, Viola, Francesca and Victoria (oh great, most of them...).
I really like Francesca. After my late granduncle (who was an incredibly brave, resilient, decent and caring man).

Prefer Violet. Georgina lovely as is Georgiana. What about Catherine or Elizabeth?

Yes, we have thought about using Elizabeth as a middle name (but not if the first name is Victoria...). I personally really don't like Violet, sorry.

Love Francesca it's one of my favs!!
Think it's pretty and strong
Not so keen on the nns thou I must say

CricketRuntAndRashers · 07/05/2017 18:34

Can you, dear users, please be really (maybe somewhat brutally...) honest?
Is there at least an other name (except for Georgina) some of you genuinely dislike for any reason (never met a nice one, rhymes with something nasty or anything)?

I would honestly appreciate it... Thanks :)
