Which name to choose

Our daughter was born this week and we can't decide between 3 names! We like Charlotte, Eloise or Annabel. We both really like Charlotte but it is quite popular (not so much in Scotland where we live mind you, I don't know any round about us) . Any thoughts /opinions would be useful!

Eloise is the best.
Charlotte is brilliant, completely classless and she can choose Charlie, lottie, chat. My good friend Charlotte goes by Charlie.
Don't like Annabelle much, it's a bit... babyish? Think because of the baby annabelle association. It's not terrible. But not my cup of tea.

RavenclawsRoar · 13/08/2021 18:26

I vote for Eloise.

DacwMamYnDwad · 13/08/2021 18:27

Charlotte.
Annabel is ok.

Eloise I'd rule out completely because some people think it's Elouise.

Charlotte or Eloise. Congratulations! Flowers

penguinwithasuitcase · 13/08/2021 18:42

Eloise, no doubt.

Charlotte is nice but feels a little plain –Annabel also a bit on the cutesy side for me.

Eloise or Charlotte would be my top picks. I still like the name Annabel but would slightly prefer to be called Charlotte or Eloise.

Balonzette · 13/08/2021 19:06

Annabel or Eloise.

spooney21 · 13/08/2021 19:11

Eloise is my fav and Annabel my least.

LadyWithLapdog · 13/08/2021 19:12

Eloise

Kanaloa · 13/08/2021 19:13

I’d do Eloise. It’s a lovely strong name. Charlotte’s nice as well, I’m not as keen on Annabel but no real reason.

mutedrainbows · 13/08/2021 19:13

Eloise. Charlotte is lovely but boring.

KezzabellaB · 13/08/2021 19:17

I love Charlotte Eloise. Congratulations!

Cookiebox · 13/08/2021 19:27

I can't understand posters saying charlotte in is boring or plain! Shock
All nice names but I do love Eloise as it's unusual and less common.

Aorh · 13/08/2021 19:28

All lovely, Annabel is my favourite

DramaAlpaca · 13/08/2021 20:06

All are lovely. If you both like Charlotte, go for that.

ilovemykids5 · 13/08/2021 21:23

Charlotte is beautiful.

PaolaDiLorenzo · 13/08/2021 21:27

Eloise is a lovely name and a great song Smile

LizzieBet14 · 13/08/2021 21:29

Annabel is my favourite from your list but prefer it spelt Annabelle.

Thanks! We will probably use one of the other names as a middle name so we will still use 2 of the names.

Charlotte Eloise Surname. Lovely!

If you both really like Charlotte go with Charlotte. Personally I prefer Eloise or Annabel

danascully96 · 14/08/2021 02:39

Charlotte’s stunning and warm sounding. I’d go for that one 🥰
