The final five

[Jessi88]

We’re somehow only two months away from meeting our little girl and I’d ideally like to shorten our list before she arrives.

Opinions on these names to help us do that please? Florence, Mabel, Beatrice, Beatrix and Lucia. Big sister is Violet. Thanks!

Mabel or Beatrice are lovely!

Lucia or Florence.

I love Florence or Beatrice

I like Beatrice

Where I live, Violet Road is between Florence Road and Mabel Grove, so I think either of those two are natural siblings!

Florence - love it

@BoudicasBoudoir Love that!

Mabel

Lucia 👌🏼

Beatrice or Florence. As PPs have said, Lucia is tricky because of the different pronunciations. I know a Lu-see-a and a Lu-chee-a.

I have Mabel lined up for my second (if I have another and she is a girl). I think it's a beautiful name. I think the old lady aspect only adds to its coolness.

Out of your remaining choices I must say that I love them all. I am biased though as we had each one on our final list for our daughter . We ended up calling her something different when we met her.

Her name is quite popular and is also known as an old lady name.

Your choices are much nicer in my opinion to the Amelia's, Clara's, Sophia's, Grace's Olivia's and hyphen Rose names. Perfectly nice names just not my style.

Once you meet her you will know which one suits her most.

Is Lucia pronounced Lucy-a?

I love Mable and violet the best 💜

I like Lucia or Florence

@Marinkazurie We did consider Viola for Violet

Thank you, @Iamgoingtobehonestwithyou.

@lucymegan We like both the Loo-See-Ah and Loo-Chee-Ah pronunciations but I’m not a fan of Loo-Sha. I’m most familiar with Loo-Chee-Ah however. Pronunciation is a slight concern of mine. I don’t see myself minding having to correct people and think we could perhaps shorten it to help too (Chi for Chee-Ah or Ci/CiCi for See-AH). It’s not my name to wear though and I wonder if it’d be a pain for her to wear a name with so many pronunciations.

I love Lucia, it's a beautiful name.

Beatrix is amazing!

Mabel by a mile. Mabel and Violet sound brilliant together.

I like Lucia. I don't think the pronunciation is a real problem. You may have to correct a few people upon introduction but that can happen with virtually any name.

Really not keen on Lucia, don't like either pronunciation and it isn't very substantial compared to your other choices, and has the additional pronunciation issues too.
Love Florence and I like Beatrix over Beatrice. Beatrix sounds quite cool whereas Beatrice sounds quite posh.
Mabel is ok, but still very old lady, it does go quite well with Violet though.
I would choose Florence, love all the nicknames Florrie, Floss and Flo.

Gosh, I think this is the first time I’ve liked all the names on someone’s list! Beautiful choices.

I have a Beatrix so slightly biased, that one is my favourite. Failing that I’d go with Mabel. Violet is a great name too, you have good taste .

Beatrice seems to be most popular against Beatrix which is also good to know. It is so difficult choosing between the two!

Thank you, @Pinkvoid

I don't like Lucia at all. Sounds pretentious to me, unless you are actually Italian.

Beatrix is lovely, or Florence.

Florence and Beatrix are my favourites, I prefer Beatrix to Beatrice partly because I like the shortening Trixie

Beatrice
