Really struggling to choose a name for our baby girl born this week.
We have 3 names but can't decide which.
Would be nice to get your favourite name out of the three if it was your choice!
Names are:
Bella
Daisy
Ella
Thanks

I think you cover off two thirds of your choices if you go with Bella.
If you eventually decide you prefer Ella, that's a perfectly reasonably nickname for a Bella. What about "Bella Daisy", with your other choice as a middle name?0 -
For me I like to have a name that gives a child options later in life to either shorten it or lengthen it.
So personally I would go for Isabella, shortening it to Bella, or Elizabeth shortening it to Ella, that way you get the name you love your child to be, but they can have their grown up identity in whatever path of life they wish to go down.
I will probably be panned by people who think me dull, but just looking at the practicalities later in life.0 -
I like Ella best out of the three. Daisy second. I don't like Bella. Congratulations on your new baby!0

I like Daisy, we had a lovely babysitter called Daisy so have a soft spot for the name. If you are trying to be unusual, there are a few Ella / Ellies and one Daisy at my children's school. I've not met a Bella yet.0

This is not very helpful, but when I was at school (50 yrs ago) I had a friend called Bella - she was known as belly button, and grew up being called Button for the rest of her life.0

Bella's really popular with the Twilight fans at the moment.0

You're going to get connotations with Bella Swan so be sure you're ok with going down that road if you pick that.0

I think Ella.
Daisy is good if she turns out to be a girly girl but not so good if she's a tomboy0 -
Out of the 3 names, Daisy is my favourite, massive congratulations xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0
