[june212012]

Hi Berries,
I am still undecided on my new baby girl's name! We are still in the hospital and she is one day old and I'm undecided! Here are my top three choices. I am just not sure which one to go with now that she is born.
Stella
Frances
Agnes

If anyone has any other suggestions pls feel free to add based on my like of classic 'old lady names"
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I love Frances! I think Frankie is really sweet nn for a girl. I also like Agnes "Aggie". Stella is nice- but a bit more common these days. Good luck!

Stella by far.

Agnes is extremely nms, and I don't like it at all. I don't get the appeal at all.
Frances is better, but it's not better than Stella imo.

Stella is lovely.

I do love Stella, but it's top 100. I like Agnes a lot, like Frances slightly less. What about Agatha? I think I like that even more than Agnes.

I love Stella. It's my favorite of the three, by far. While Stella is definitely an old lady name, it just sounds the freshest of the three to me.

Other names:
Edith
Dorothy
Gloria
Helen (though my friend with this name hated it)
Carol (ditto with Helen)
Ruth
Sharon
Nanette
Darlene
Lorraine

I like Frances and Stella best. I especially like Frances, love the nickname Franny. I only like the way Agnes sounds in French. I really love the name Agatha it sounds spunky to me and Aggie is such a cute nickname. I would love to meet a little one with this name. Congratulations on your little girl!
other ideas-
Sylvia
Esther
Ramona
Martha
Phoebe
Sybil
Josephine
Veronica
Vivien

Love, love, love Agnes!!!!!

I absolutely love Agnes! It's definitely my favorite of your options. I think Nessa/Nessie or even Annie would be cute nns. I love the French pronunciation (ahn-YESS) just as much as the American one, and I think ahn-YESS makes Annie more accessible.

I think Agnes Stella or Stella Agnes (or even Stella Frances) would be lovely. Agnes is my favorite, followed by Stella.

Congratulations on your daughter, and good luck!

My vote is for Agnes. Agnes is stylish. Stella is over-used. Frances is my grandmother's name, and I think that Fran is too old-ladyish, Franny isn't much better... Estelle is gorgeous. nn Stella, if you wish.
Congrats!
