Help[Opinions] Re: Francesca or Serena
in reply to a message by NorthStar87
Madeleine is my favorite of your choices. I live in the UK and I know a girl named Madeleine and no one seems to think of Madeleine McCann... but maybe the association bothers you. A shame, because it really is a lovely name.
Serena Catrine and Serena Margot are lovely. Serena Catrine is light blue and head-in-the-clouds; Serena Margot is more down-to-earth and neatly balanced.
I like Francesca too, although it's quite heavy - maroon or deep purple velvet. I find it very intense. Francesca Catrine is very elegant and Francesca Margot is serious and solemn.
I would pick Serena Margot or Francesca Catrine.
Serena was #389 in England & Wales in 2021, Francesca was #110, Madeleine was #293.
Other suggestions (rank in England & Wales 2021 for first name):
Anastasia Catrine (#135)
Anastasia Margot
Annabelle Catrine (#109)
Annabelle Margot
Felicity Catrine (#123)
Felicity Margot
Hermione Catrine (#674) - too Harry Potter?
Hermione Margot
Lucy Catrine (#85 - maybe too popular)
Lucy Margot
Miranda Catrine (didn't rank)
Miranda Margot
Penelope Catrine (#38 - also likely too popular)
Penelope Margot
Rosanna Catrine (#616)
Rosanna Margot
Hope I helped :)

You are very intuitive, Felicity, Anastasia and Hermione were also on the list! Felicity I still love. It feels light and airy. Hermione - my husband isn't as keen.
Annabelle is sweet but I personally feel there are too many 'Ella' and 'Bella' sounding names out there at the moment.
Catrine is after my late grandmother, but I could be tempted to adapt this to Catrina as it has a softer sound to it. Margot is also a family name. - well Margaux but I feel the spelling throws people so would opt for the simpler version.
I love your response. Thank you.

Oh I would definitely use the family names as mn the Margaux spelling wouldn't matter as it would be a mn
