Maria
Anna
Alexandra

???

We want something fairly classic, feminine, not too girly.

Great names

rosealbie · 28/08/2008 15:58

I don't mind any of them, just not really my cup of tea if i'm honest.

Out of the three I would go for Alexandra but for me, it would have to be Alex.

TwoWindyDays · 28/08/2008 15:58

in fact you could use a couple of them
Alexandra Maria has a nice ring to it

Majeika · 28/08/2008 15:59

Anna

ds would have been annabel

Jackstini · 28/08/2008 16:00

Like Alexandra best - love Alex as a shortened version.

VictorianSqualor · 28/08/2008 16:14

I like Alexandra, I had Alexandra/Alexander on ym short list for DC3, it was a boy so I used Alexander.

I prefer Annabel to Anna, not keen on Maria.

all fab...Maria is my favourite though

branflake81 · 28/08/2008 16:20

I like Anna and Alexandra, not too keen on Maria.

babyinbelly · 28/08/2008 16:37

Would prefer marie to maria
Like Anna but wouldn't call my child it.
Alexandra is ok but again would have to call Alex.

Knew someone called Alexa which I think is nice and a bit of a twist

dinkymum · 28/08/2008 20:55

DSIL is Anna Maria which I always thought was really pretty, Alexandra's nice too!

frazzledoldbag34 · 28/08/2008 21:04

Not keen on Maria at all.
Anna is lovely.
Alexandra is OK
I also like Annabel and Arabella (irrelevant but true)

Hulababy · 28/08/2008 21:06

Of your three I prefer Anna.

jennifersofia · 28/08/2008 21:10

Anna, but that is the name of dd3 (4 mths), so I am biased.

LynetteScavo · 28/08/2008 21:12

Anna.

Not too keen on Maria, and you have to bear in mind Alexandra with at some point get shortend Alex.

theowlwhowasafraidofthedark · 28/08/2008 21:17

Love Anna and Maria

LynetteScavo · 28/08/2008 21:19

I do like Anna Maria!

mazzystar · 28/08/2008 21:23

My name is Maria [inadvertently outs self] and I am sung to [West Side Story, Sound of Music, Blondie or Ave] at least once per day. Used to hate it as a kid, but cheers me up now [sign of age]

I really like Anna, less keen on Alexandra.

reginaphilangy · 29/08/2008 10:14

I think they're all lovely

My favourite is Anna and least favourite is Maria if i had to chose.

I don't like the shortening of Alex for Alexandra, but Ally is lovely.

Weegiemum · 29/08/2008 11:03

All of them are nice.

In order

Anna
Alexandra
maria.

But I wouldn't be at any.

Hey! A name thread I don't go at!

First time?

Weegiemum · 29/08/2008 11:05

Alternatives - if you want them?

Rachel
Caroline
Louise
Elaine
Katherine (and variations)
Jessica
Emma
Sarah
Claire

etc!

HonoriaGlossop · 29/08/2008 11:08

Anna is lovely, really pretty - but unusual, I haven't met any Anna's at DS pre-school or school.

Along those lines I also think Alice is gorgeous.

woo12woo · 11/09/2008 05:40

Heaven spelled backwards, really pretty name Nevaeh, heard it the other day, it is different, feminine and pretty!
