Girls name help

[Proudmummy2MA]

We have 3 names on our shortlist and just can't decide between them! Husband likes all 3 (which is a miracle in itself!) and I seem to have a different favourite each day. Not worried about how popular they are.

Our choices are:
Francesca
Bethany/Beth (love just Beth but not sure if it needs a 'full' name?)
Sophie

Which is your favourite/least favourite?

Thank you!

Francesca is lovely. Top choice.
Beth is nice (and probably OK as a given name), not keen on Bethany. You could always go for Elizabeth on the birth certificate, known as Beth?
Sophie is actually pretty much the best name ever IMO, but as so many other people think so too, it's very, very overused and I never countenanced it for that reason.

Beth (or Bethany) is my favourite.

They are all quite nice. I love the name Sophie but it is very popular. I like the name Beth very much and if she is going to be known as Beth it it quite enough. Bethany is pretty but she'd get called Beth.
Francesca is nice but I wouldn't choose it. It's a bit too long so would be shortened.

Francesca, which is also on my list :)

In order:
Sophie
Francesca
Bethany

1. Sophie (gorgeous)
2. Francesca (also v nice)
3. Bethany (really not keen, sorry - don’t think this holds a candle to your other choices)

^^ However, I do like Beth if short for Elizabeth or (at a push) Elspeth.

I love just Beth. Not keen on Bethany.

Francesca - not to my taste at all sorry)
Bethany/Beth (love just Beth but not sure if it needs a 'full' name?) - this is my name and I like to have the full name to sound 'official' but go by Beth most days. Bethany also gives them the option of Bethan or Annie.
Sophie - very pretty

Bethany is my favourite - I think Beth is lovely.
Francesca next - pretty, not too popular.
Sophie - very very popular in my area. I know and have taught so many Sophies that I find it quite boring now.

Francesca - beautiful in full! not so keen on fran but like frankie, but not as much as Francesca but it will be shortened.

Sophie- pretty!

Bethany- really like Beth too

I can see why you change your mind daily it's a tough one!

Could always wait and see how you feel when she's born

Bethan/ Beth

Bethany/Elizabeth (Beth).

Francesca

Francesca is lovely.

Not keen on Bethany but Beth on its own is lovely. Bethan is nice.

Sophie is nice but very popular

Love Francesca and that would be my top choice (it's actually high on my list for next baby)

Bethany is sweet but i prefer the less girl Bethan. Love Beth it's sweet but strong

Sophie is okay but i feel she'd get lost in.a sea of Sophia's which I actually prefer. Sophie is my least favourite of your choices it just doesn't feel like a strong name

Francesca - LOVE. And lots of nickname choices.

Bethany- meh.
Sophie- nice but so many of them.

Love Francesca (i actually enjoyed typing it just then - such a lovely name!). Fran, Frank, Frankie - all good!

Lovely names, all three!

Sorry, that's not much help

Sophie is my favourite by a long way.

Least favourite is Francesca, which I really don't like at all.

I'm indifferent to Beth.

Bethany

Sophie.

Thank you everyone!

I do like Elizabeth, but not keen on Liz or Lizzy so would prefer to avoid that one. I love Bethan though and hadn't thought of that. I think I might prefer it to Bethany as a full name for Beth!

For Francesca, I like Chesca, hubby likes Frankie.
