Hi all, DH and I are expecting our first baby. We are Italian but we have a lot of French in our family and live in the uk.
Our top contenders are
~ Francesca (maybe a little over done but a lovely name) likely to pronounced correctly in all 3 countries
~ Elena, worried this would be a provocation nightmare. We would say Eh-len-ah but I know in the uk it sometimes sounds more like Eleanor or is even just said Eh-lay-na
~ Giulia, Classic, should be pronounced correctly but likely to have spelling issues with Julia
We like Anna, Sara Maria but have plenty in the family they feel like the default for any international family.
So thoughts - Francesca, Elena or Giulia?
