Anna

Quercus3 · 29/10/2020 18:20

Lots of lovely names.
I'd be torn between Anna and Rosa! Alice is lovely too.

Firebird83 · 29/10/2020 18:36

Anna or Rosa

Eleanor and Rosa are my favourites but dislike Ellie

Catwoman1985 · 29/10/2020 18:47

Alice, Isabel or Anna for me. All lovely

Spied · 29/10/2020 18:47

Alice or Anna.
I think Anna just pips it.

Quizeerascal · 29/10/2020 18:49

Alice, they're all lovely though

theotherfossilsister · 29/10/2020 18:50

Alice.

Anna

Depends on your surname and any middle names you're looking at? Some stand alone names are gorgeous but add the surname...then a middle name? It's always incredibly difficult to choose, maybe wait until baby is in your arms and you can look at her and say "Hello ..."? IME chosen names often disappear when babies arrive and look at you! Congratulations and good luck 💐

Eleanor is by far my favourite

17caterpillars1mouse · 29/10/2020 19:03

I'd pick Anna. It's just such a beautiful, classic name and not very common atm. I don't know anybody named Anna under the age of 30

shrill · 29/10/2020 19:07

All lovely but for some reason I have trouble saying Eleanor - what are your friends and family like for pronouncing it?! Otherwise 7catsaremycoven makes a lot of sense.

Toomuchtooyoung01 · 29/10/2020 19:10

Anna or Rosa

BarbiesBitch · 29/10/2020 19:12

Anna is my favourite, followed by Alice.
Not keen on the others I’m afraid

alexdgr8 · 29/10/2020 19:14

not Anna or Rosa.
any of the others.

Ojj37 · 29/10/2020 19:17

Alice

MikeUniformMike · 29/10/2020 19:19

Alice - had there been a DD3, she would have been Alice
Isabel - overpopular.
Emily - classic but I wouldn't choose it
Anna - really like
Eleanor - not keen - nothing wrong with it, apart from some say it as Ellen Ore
Rosa - like

LaVitaPuoEsserePiuBella · 29/10/2020 19:24

Eleanor is beautiful

gillybombilly · 29/10/2020 19:33

Eleanor is so lovely

Squeakerfoot · 29/10/2020 20:02

Eleanor and Isabel are beautiful. Alice is pretty too as is Rosa.

formerbabe · 29/10/2020 20:03

Anna or Eleanor

Glitterbiscuits · 29/10/2020 20:04

Anna

PeaceAndHarmoneeee · 29/10/2020 20:10

Anna or Rosa - wait till she's here and see which one suits her best!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 29/10/2020 20:13

Very beautiful list - super classic names that suit all ages and shouldn't date.

I think I'd perhaps chose Eleanor myself (makes me think of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Eleanor Roosevelt) - it's very distinguished, strong and elegant but has a lot of nickname choices if she wants (Nell is my fave).
But Anna comes very close - it's also a gorgeous name which always surprises me that it isn't more popular (it's so internationally well used and easy to say and spell).
Isabel is beautiful and elegant too, but will likely cause spelling issues as the more elaborate Isabelle spelling is very popular currently.
Rosa is pleasant but I prefer the simpler Rose, as it feels more slightly more classic to me.
Alice and Emily are okay , I just like your other choices more (and these two are also the most commonly used/popular currently.)
