Girls names- which one do you live best?

[Izzywhizzy]

So far we've got:

Eleanor
Alexandra
Frances
Madeline
Catherine

Alexandra is my favorite, but DP has an ex by that name and isn't too keen.

Waddya think?? Any more suggestions?

Doh!! LIKE best, not live best. Bugger.

Love Francis

Sorry Frances

I don't like Frances but like any of the others with Eleanor probably having the edge.

what about tweaking the Alexandra to Alexandria.

I like Eleanor and Frances.

Eleanor is my favourite. Hate to say it but Madeline would just make me think of that poor little girl though its a shame as its a beautiful name!

I know what you mean about Madeline. I get that reaction from a lot of people when I mention it as an option. Poor little girl

Alexandra is quite nice.

Izzy I would just steer away from that name. You dont want people sighing in sadness every time they think of your beautiful DD.

Catherine, because I like the nicknames best.
Eleanor (Ellie) as 2nd choice.

I wouldn't steer clear of the name Madeleine - I think it would be ridiculous for everyone to "sigh in sadness" everytime they heard it - there are plenty of Madeleines out there and it's a lovely name.

Madeleine (spelt this way, not your way).

I like all of them - "proper" names as my Mum would call them

Dh and I loved both Madeleine and Alexandra, however when we saw all three of our girls none of them really suited the names we had chosen.

Instead we have a
Thea
Evie
Mae

Beautiful names for three beautiful girls.

When you see you child, I think you know instantly. Well, we did.

Happy choosing!

Catherine, but with a K, so you can have Kitty as a nickname...so pretty!

I like them all. I like Catherine with a C, if it was with a K I would shorten to Kate (not Katie and definitely not Kitty)

Elinor is my favourite (that spelling).

Eleanor but it is very common down here so just check in your area if that would bother you.

I prefer Katherine with a K too.

Other than that I love Megan and Margot
