Valentina! I toyed with Valerie because I love the shortening Valley 😍

Christina dated and Eleanor bit overdone but that’s if I was being picky! All nice names.

Eleanor.

Really do have a soft spot for Valentina because of Rochelle Humes’ wee girl 💖

I'd go for Eleanor, though I think I prefer Eleanora. Christina feels a bit dated to me. Valentina is ok, but I prefer Valerie.

Eleanor

Eleanor is lovely.

Valentina is gorgeous, I’d definitely choose this. All 3 names are likely to be shortened unfortunately when she’s older so consider if you like the likely nicknames as much when making your choice.

Valentina

LynetteScavo · 23/03/2021 19:39

Eleanor. Timeless classic.

BabloHoney · 23/03/2021 19:41

Christina. Beautiful and due a comeback. I think Christie or Chrissie is a really cute nickname for a little girl too. Good luck deciding!

LynetteScavo · 23/03/2021 19:41

They are all likely to be shortened
Chris/Chrissy
Elle/Ellie
Val

I know which of those I like/don't like

Peachbubble · 23/03/2021 19:49

Christina, with Valentina second. Not keen on Eleanor.

TatianaBis · 23/03/2021 19:52

Valentina of the 3, but don't like Val or Tina.
Eleanor is too like Eeyore to me. Christina is ok but dull. Prefer Christa.

Venetia?

Valentina! Lovely, unusual but also familiar - and easy to spell

Christina - it’s a nice name, but Chris/ty is really undistinguished and that would put me off. You could use Kit or Christa as a nn though - or make it Christabel which I somehow think is less likely to be shortened.

Eleanor - it’s really lovely but it’s been done to death since the 90s and also blurs with all the other E and El names. Helena or Leonora are good alternatives

DarcyJack · 23/03/2021 22:34

Christina - very underused these days. Don't much like Eleanor and Valentina sounds like you have Italian heritage - which you may do I guess.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 23/03/2021 22:48

All 3 are beautiful but I'd pick Eleanor - it's popular for a reason as it's very classic feeling, so a bit more timeless than your other choices imo (also cool historical namesakes in Aquitaine and Roosevelt). It also has quite a wide variety of nn's - Nell, Nora, Elle, Ellie, Ella, Leni etc , so she can easily make the name suit her own style.

Eleanor

Lillylola · 24/03/2021 10:41

Ahhh.. ok so Eleanor or Valentina !

Valentina is beautiful! I'm not sure about any of the usual shortening which will inevitably happen somewhere across the way, maybe Leni would be cute
