Bonnie Francesca

[Livingabroad12]

We have 2 daughters and are thinking through names for DD 3. We are pretty set on Francesca as a middle name (family name) and the moment our favourite first names are Bonnie, Nancy and Eliza. Our other 2 DD names our similar (I think) in that they’re well known names but not very commonly used. We live abroad (so I may be out of touch with popular names!) a but planning to move home soon after baby 3 is born.

So what do you think?
Bonnie Francesca
Nancy Francesca
Eliza Francesca

Thank you!

I love it. Bonnie Francesca is lovely. Obviously depends a bit on the surname as long as it’s not an ‘eee’ at the end of your surname it sounds great. I only know of one Bonnie and she’s about 5 and also abroad. It’s cute.

Thanks so much! Ooh good point. We have a short 2 syllable surname ending in d so I think we should be ok

They are all nice names, but I feel Bonnie and Francesca don't go together. They sound as though they are from different times or styles. Eliza Francesca is better imho.

Eliza 100%

Nancy is a lovely name imo

Bonnie Francesca sounds a bit like a folk song. The other two work well though.

I prefer the other 2 names tbh. Bonnie is too cutesy for me and sounds odd to essentially be naming a child 'pretty'.

Nancy is my favourite but Eliza is nice too. Both go great with Francesca as a mn.

Bonnie Francesca sounds like a lassy called Francesca who was awful bonny in an old folk story.

Not sure of that's good or bad.

I like Nancy best, but they're all lovely names.

All 3 are gorgeous! I think if I were forced to pick I’d go Nancy or Bonnie, but whichever you choose your daughter will have a beautiful name

I love Bonnie Francesca and think it flows beautifully. Completely disagree with the pp who said they don't go!

I like Eliza Francesca the least because they both end in a.

Bonnie Francesca
Nancy Francesca
Eliza Francesca

Prefer Connie to Bonnie.
Nancy is great.
Not keen on Eliza.
Francesca as a middle name is OK.

Middle names aren't really used much.
I'd pick Nancy

All are sweet names.

My favourite is
Bonnie Francesca 9/10
Nancy Francesca 8/10
Eliza Francesca 8/10

I’m wary of names that are positive attributes as it’s tough on the child if it’s not very apt. What if Bonnie’s not that bonnie? It could be a difficult name to bear.

I love Bonnie Francesca. Eliza Francesca sounds wrong somehow.

I like Nancy best. Bonny is a bit baby for an adult.

I prefer Francesca as a first name actually. Otherwise I like Eliza Francesca the most.
Bonnie Francesca and Nancy Francesca sound like names from a town from the old Wild West to me.

Bonnie Francesca is perfect!

I really don't like Bonnie or Nancy. Bonnie just doesn't have a nice sound to me and Nancy seems old fashioned. Eliza Francesca is pretty though.

Prefer Nancy.

Eliza Francesca sounds odd as both end in a.

Bonnie I don't like as my Grandma used to say someone was bonnie meaning they were fat.

I love Eliza Francesca, gorgeous! ❤️

Bonnie to me is descriptive. As pp says it sounds like your child is called Francesca, who is bonnie- ie nice looking.

if you’re set on it you could go with a long name and use Bonnie as a diminutive. I think Bonnie Langford is Bonita, for example.

I agree. Bonita Francesca has a better ring to it, and gives her other options when she is older.

Eliza and Nancy are lovely, Bonnie is dreadful.

To me, it sounds like a girl called Francesca who was very bonnie. I am Scottish though.

I think Eliza is the nicest first name, however, I think Nancy goes better with Francesca.

Bonnie is lovely. Middle names are rarely used so they don’t need to flow perfectly. That said I think Eliza Francesca does sound too clunky as they both end in an “a” sound. Bonnie is my favourite out of your choices.
