PG with dd3. Due in three weeks. Honest opinions wanted!

Charlotte - Long term front runner, maybe going off now slightly

Naomi - Has been in the running with both dd1 and dd2 but always dismissed at the last minute.

Florence - I LOVE. dh is a bit meh. Not sure if it would be considered 'weird' in our local area where made up names seem prevalent and old fashioned names not so much.

Elsa - New front runner. Discovered this the other day. Dh loves. I really like. But dd1 has a 3 letter first name also beginning with an E (think Adams wife with an A) so could be a problem?

I like them all, Charlotte has more potential for varied nicknames and is timeless.

All fine and lovely. Florence would probably pass yhe Katie Hopkins test as it's Firenze in Italian Wink

I like Charlotte the best.
Elsa is lovely too though I think it would clash with your other DD's name.
Naomi is ok.
Dislike Florence.

I'm not keen on any of them tbh.

Charlotte is massively popular in my area.
Naomi is a bit meh.
Florence just sounds pretentious and poncy.
Elsa is old fashioned.

If i had to choose one it'd be Naomi byt of course its not up to me and go by your instinct and pick the nane you love :)

Elsa is stunning- different, quirky, feminine.

Charlotte is pretty standard and very over used now IMO.

I think Florence is very 2000/201X and will date sorry

Charlotte I love

My favourite from your list is Naomi: I love it. I've only met one: she is in her twenties, and gorgeous Smile

Charlotte was on our list if DS had been a girl. Still like it but not as much now!

Florence is nice, but I prefer Flora.

I agree that Elsa is too close to your other DD's name.

Its a shame about Elsa being too much like dd1's.

We have a PITA surname which has ruled out a lot of names so finding another girls name we both love and will be usable with our surname is ao difficult.

Elsa fitted all the criteria until I realised the problem with dd1's name Sad

So you'll potentially have E*e, Elsa and....?

I think the two E names sound great together and the only problem is if your other dd has a big long flowery name that won't fit. Even then it probably won't bother her.

I say go for Elsa. It's gorgeous.

They are all nice except Florence. My favourite is Elsa, but I can see possibly it might cause confusion with your other DD's name. Or maybe not.

Naomi is a lovely name, a classic but also quite unusual at the moment.
