Down to a choice of 3.

[Notrobusta]

After narrowing our list down we have come to 3 names we agree on by can’t decide on which to go for . I am struggling with them all for different reasons and none feel quite right. What do you all think of the following ?

Elizabeth
Alexandra
Catherine

Any other names along those lines that we may like?

Looks as though you like longer, classic names with good nickname potential?

Of your list, my favourite is Alexandra. I also like Elizabeth but would definitely use a nickname on a day to day basis. Catherine sounds dated to me.

How about the following?

Charlotte
Helena
Eleanor
Madeleine

All nice nAmes.
Victoria
Jennifer
Rebecca
Jessica
Martha
Sarah
Francesca
Georgina

Great choices! I love Elizabeth. Alexandra is beautiful but I don't like Alex so that puts me off. Catherine probably my least favourite of the 3.
Vivienne? Tabitha? Penelope?

Elizabeth is one of my favourite names ever, don’t look any further

Margaret.
Julia.
Caroline.
Beatrice.
Marianne.
Josephine.
Frances.
Georgina.

Beautiful all 3.
Elizabeth (Liz, Liza, Beth, Betsy...) and Catherine (Cathy, Katie, Cat, Kitty...) perhaps offer more choice of nicknames if that matters?

I love Alexandra

Alexandra

Elizabeth. Lovely name!

Margaret is another good one with loads of shortenings.

I love all three. Elisabeth is my favourite but when I saw Alexandra I was reminded that its a lovely name I haven't heard for a while.

Definitely Elizabeth! Such a beautiful name :)

Thanks everyone. Great suggestions too. Unfortunately our dog is Jessie so can’t have Jessica and have some of the other names in the family too. Jennifer is likely to be the middle name of that helps.

Elizabeth and Alexandra are fab.

Eleanor
Madeleine
Alice
Clementine
Florence
Genevieve
Matilda
Cordelia
Penelope

I think Madeleine has a similar vibe
Also possibly Georgiana

Elizabeth is my favourite as I love all the nicknames for it too

Alexandra Jennifer sounds a bit clunky

Alexandra is my favourite.

Elspeth
Isabella
Louisa
Juliet
Josephine

Elizabeth is my favourite.
Then Catherine.

Not keen on Alexandra.

I like all three. If you are set on Jennifer a shorter name might flow better? Short classic name ideas:
Anne / Anna
Jane
Rose
Grace
Mary

Or if you like longer:
Beatrice
Annabel
Margaret
Georgina / Georgiana

Out of the three I would choose Elizabeth becUse it has so many nn options - Eliza being my favourite

Love Catherine or Katherine
Like Alexandra
Elizabeth is OK

I like Catherine best.

Arabelle
Annabelle
Brianna

Francine
Francesca
Genevieve

Elizabeth and Catherine are long really dull.
Alexandra is nicer but it's also long and always gets shortened to Alex, which is fine I guess.

I've got a newborn Alexandra so I'm slightly biased! It suits her well we think. Congrats!

They are all lovely, and all equally classic and beautiful - just pick one at random. Can't go wrong with these names. My personal favourite is probably Catherine.
