The list:
Anna
Astrid
Francesca
Alba

I dunno! Don't want it to be too popular. I like classic names and names from history and literature. Any suggestions welcomed!

Anna is a beautiful, timeless name, and would be my choice.😄

wobblywonderwoman · 07/08/2017 22:58

Anna

MagnumAddict · 07/08/2017 22:59

Not keen on Alba but think your other names are lovely

Yika · 07/08/2017 23:06

Alba is beautiful, that would be my choice.

Couple of suggestions:
Cassandra
Clio

Anna is such a beautiful name. Classic, timeless, but not overly popular.

Astrid stands out for me in that list.

All lovely, but Astrid is my favourite.

Alba sounds like a dog food brand. Anna by a million miles or keep searching. There's loads of beautiful names.

DontMentionTheWar · 08/08/2017 04:04

How about Aster? Personally, I like Anna though.

Elbi · 08/08/2017 06:22

I like your choices. Maybe Aphra too?

CakeRattleandRoll · 08/08/2017 06:50

Love Francesca.

Bigcomfyknickers · 08/08/2017 06:58

Anna - hands down

kirschtorte · 08/08/2017 07:16

Alexandra
Elizabeth
Victoria
Katherine
Alma

Changeofluckneeded · 08/08/2017 07:38

How about Ophelia?

Jooni · 08/08/2017 08:20

I like the A- names on your list, especially Astrid and Alba.

How about Vita?

BertrandRussell · 08/08/2017 08:23

How about Clare? Lovely, classic and unusual nowadays.

Or Helen?

Kazzawazza69 · 08/08/2017 08:37

Alba is my favourite out of your list followed by Astrid. Francesca is lovely but I really dislike Fran so that puts me off. Anna is boring.

PaintingOwls · 08/08/2017 08:40

I always love Astrid, but yesterday I heard it bellowed across the park by a dad and the shine wore off somehow.

From your list I would choose Anna.
