[Purple139]

Names on our shortlist are
Zoe (my fave)
Sophie
Francesca
Ciara ( partners fave)
Jessica

Middle name will be Marie, we already have a son called Liam James.

Thank you x

Zoe and Francesca are my favourites from your list, both lovely. Francesca is likely to get shortened though at school, maybe to Frankie or Cesca. I like the nicknames for Francesca but something to consider in case you don’t. Good luck.

Zoe works well

I really like Zoe and Ciara (pronounced Keer-ah) Sophie is nice too. Not keen on the other two, a bit frilly for me. How about Chloe, Phoebe, Sylvie, Mira, Cara, Cora or Coralie?

I like all of them - sorry, not much use!

Francesca and Jessica for me, both lovely. Pretty but strong, classic. Don't like the others.

If the middle name will definitely be Marie, then I'd choose Jessica of your choices - Jessica is classic (Shakespearean) but not as popular/over used as it used to be (plus the nn Jess or Jecca sounds quite cool). Jessica Marie flows nicely to me and while I also like Francesca and Sophie - Sophie Marie doesn't sound quite as good imo and I'm not keen on the nn's for Francesca.

I actually know a Zoe Marie!

I think Ciara works best from your list.

All nice
Francesca is probably my favourite followed by Zoe, Ciara and Jessica. Sophie also lovely but so popular I would avoid. You could argue Zoe is easier to spell so it trumps Ciara

2 Zoe (my fave) - like
1 Sophie - my favourite
5 Francesca - too flouncy
4 Ciara ( partners fave) - It will be mistaken for Clara
3 Jessica - fine

Ciara is my favourite by far from your list and it sounds lovely with Liam

I like all the names on your list apart from Francesca.

Zoe is my favourite, but Ciara is the nicest with Liam.

Really like Zoe. Jessica has always been one of my favourites as well. Sophie is nice but I feel like every second person I know has named their baby Sophie or Sophia in the last year. I’d go Zoe if thats your favourite!

Clemence Marie
Isabella Marie

I like Francesca or Ciara the most

I love Zoe.

I like all the names on your list. My favourite is Ciara (pronounced Keer-ah) - it is the most distinctive and has beautiful sounds and spelling. I love it with Liam too. But they really are all good names!

Zoe.

Zoe and Ciara are nice but I would hate having to correct the mispronounciation of it, which is bound to happen.

I love them all. Francesca being my fave. Ciara sounds lovely with liam though it may get frustrating having to correct people mispronouncing it.

Zoe is lovely, well known but not too popular, easy to spell and say. Perfect.

Also love Sophie.

I’d rather be a Jess than a Fran, but both good names.

Ciara is just not in the same league to me - yes it’s traditional, but is a lot more ‘fashion-y’ - especially spelled Keira or Kira, which absolutely will be the misspellings she gets throughout her life.

So Zoe for me

Oh just seen you have a Liam. Ciara is too close to that, almost the same sound pattern.

Also note - if you have a list of names and the comments repeatedly say ‘pronounced THAT way’ for one of them... that’s the name to avoid!

Kee-ra
Kee-Ah-ra

Nope!

Ciara will get called See-ara, Sierra, Kee-ara (Chiara), Clara and it will get spelt Kira, Kiera, and Keira.

Too complicated - shame as it's a nice name.

Oh just seen you have a Liam. Ciara is too close to that, almost the same sound pattern.

I don't see or hear this at all!

Me neither.

Nor me
