I have four children already with names very similar to Fleur , Eva , Reuben and Nancy (don’t want to put actual names on in case anyone recognised me , we haven’t told anyone the sex of the baby).

Which of these goes best with the middle name Francis ?

Nora
Lucinda (Lucy)
Ellen
Beatrix
Freya

Welcome to any other suggestions !

Not Freya, two names beginning with F is a bit much.

I like Lucy best from your list, or Beatrix. Don't like Ellen or Nora at all.

Btw, it's spelled Frances for a girl, Francis is the male version.

Nora Frances
Beatrix Frances
Ellen Frances

Those are all lovely and work well, I think.

TomboyFemme · 29/10/2017 19:27

Beatrix is my favourite but I'm not sure about it with Frances. Ellen Frances goes well

RavenWings · 29/10/2017 19:29

Not liking Nora, Ellen or Freya.
I'm ok with Beatrix but lukewarm on it.
Lucy/Lucinda is nice. Lucille?

userabcname · 29/10/2017 19:30

I like Lucinda and Beatrix

sleepingwiththelighton · 29/10/2017 19:44

Thanks , I know it’s not the usual way to spell it but Francis was a female relative spelt that way and the baby will have that name as a middle name and we want to keep the spelling

I think Nora and Lucinda go best with Frances.
My favourite from your list is Beatrix but I don’t think it goes as well with Frances.

Ellen Francis, lovely !

SuperBeagle · 29/10/2017 20:21

I love Lucinda and Freya.

But Freya Francis doesn't work, so Lucinda wins by default.

CakeRattleandRoll · 29/10/2017 22:24

My favourite is Nora.

helensburgh · 29/10/2017 22:30

Ellen or norah

Ojoj1974 · 29/10/2017 23:11

Beatrix. I totally adore it!!!!

Pemba · 30/10/2017 05:28

Ellen or Lucinda go well and are nice. Nora flows well, but I don't like it personally. Freya is a bit cumbersome with Francis (too many 'fr' sounds) and I don't like Beatrix.

PandorasXbox · 30/10/2017 09:59

Lucinda.

Smoliver · 30/10/2017 22:41

Order of my preference:

Nora
Beatrix
Lucinda (Lucy)
Freya
Ellen
