We are due in three weeks and have really been struggling with names.

I think we’ve got it down to three names that we both like.

Francesca,
Paige,
Brooke.

Middle name is Vera Jean after grandmothers.

Opinions, (please don’t be too brutal 😂)

I like Paige best, I think it’s a beautiful name. Francesca is nice too, love the nickname Frankie. I’m not really keen on Brooke.

ripprincephilip · 15/04/2021 16:56

I like Francesca the best

Notapheasantplucker · 15/04/2021 16:59

I would've said I like Francesca the best but I think Paige goes better with your middle names.

Amdone123 · 15/04/2021 17:05

Francesca. Love it.
Don't like Brooke and whilst Paige is nice sounding, it's a bit dated.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 15/04/2021 17:05

Francesca definitely.

NelleBee · 15/04/2021 17:07

Yes, Paige flows best with the lovely middle names you have choose. I don’t think Brooke flows with the middle names at all.

Francesca is my favourite, by a million miles. It’s totally different to the other two. While I like the sound of both Paige and Brooke, I think they have a bit of a school bully vibe, sorry! Francesca has more potential for nice nicknames, too.

Francesca.

Francesca, the other two are awful

MarshaBradyo · 15/04/2021 17:50

Francesca using full name

Ravenclawsome · 15/04/2021 17:51

You'll rarely use the middle names tbh.

Hate Paige, for various reasons.
Francesca is more popular than Brooke round here but if that doesn't bother you it's certainly the nicer of the two. (Though both are lovely)

Themoreifly · 15/04/2021 17:55

Paige is chavvy, so is Brooke
Francesca has some class to it.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 15/04/2021 17:58

Francesca would be my choice of the 3, as it's the most classical (if a bit exotic/Italian) feeling. Paige and Brooke are fine but have a slight 80's vibe to me.

StevieNix · 15/04/2021 18:11

I don’t personally like any of your three choices- but I do really like Vera with middle name Jean so you could maybe just go with that instead.

StevieG55 · 15/04/2021 18:13

Francesca will almost definitely become Fran (not sure if that wld change ur mind).

I like Paige best from ur list.

bubblebath62636 · 15/04/2021 18:14

Brooke is lovely.

Francessca sounds awful.

LoveSleeping · 15/04/2021 18:15

Francesca is lovely.

Brooke and Paige very dated

Blueskytoday06 · 15/04/2021 18:16

Francesca 😁

AvonCallingBarksdale · 15/04/2021 18:16

Francesca by a million miles. However it’s what you prefer - MN notoriously prefers upper MC names so results may be skewed iyswim

Ineedaneasteregg · 15/04/2021 18:20

Francesca is nice

Brooke and Paige are very different slightly dated American names.

sorryforswearing · 15/04/2021 18:34

Francesca is my favourite. Not too keen on the others.
