We want to call baby Elle whe she arrives. We have a 2 syllable surname beginning with S and are stuck for a middle name.

Suggestion please.

*suggestions....

oh Elle is lovely do you have any family names you could use?

I would personally think that a single syllable name like Elle would need a longer middle name to balance it out iyswim?

Elle Beatrice S......
Elle Lydia
Elle Clementine
Elle Celeste
Elle Constance
Elle Saskia
Elle Imogen
Elle Amelia
Elle Violet
Elle Elisabeth is actually very nice
Elle Penelope
Elle Corinna
Elle Tabitha
Elle Marie
Elle Susannah

I don't think I've hit it yet, although I'm liking Elle Elisabeth

I've been thinking but not come up with anything yet. Elle is a hard name to match.

Perhaps you should bump after x-factor.

Elle Natasha
Elle Jennifer
Elle Catherine
Elle Rosa
Elle Laura/Lauren
Elle Julia/Juliet
Elle Miranda
Elle Lucy
Elle Hermione
Elle Francesca
Elle Elisa
Elle Harriet
Elle Alexandra

I'm thinking 4 syllables

Elle Cordelia
Elle Natalia
Elle Cecelia

Elle Dolores
Elle Cecilia

Elle Maya
Elle Catherine
Elle Emily
Elle Grace
Elle May
Elle Rose
Elle Madeleine
Elle Sophie/Sofia
Elle Mary - ha ha ha
Elle Serena
Elle Alexandra
Elle Claudia

Thanks ladies.

My middle name is Elizabeth, it sounds quite good, I agree.

I think it does need to be quite a long middle one doesn't it?

I love Lydia and that was my joint first choice with Elle but DH isn't keen. It sounds awesome with the surname though.

Our 3 boys all have 1 or 2 syllable first names and all have 4 letters in their first name so DH would like to match that iyswim?

I don't think Lydia sounds good after Elle though? Not long enough.

I agree, its not as pretty with Elle as Elizabeth is and if it is you middle name then thats a lovely selection

I love it when a plan comes together, jobs done

dixie dixie dixie

(still trying to get the name into the top 10 lol)

I appreciate the efforts

lol.

its for dd3 benefit as well.

she insist we call her dixie the pixie for a whole day once, it really suits her

Elle Josephine

Elle Elizabeth May sounds nice

or

Elle Elizabeth Rose

Think it could take another single syllable name to finish it off

Both my boys have 2 middle names

gossip - all 3 of mine have 2 middle names as well

misdee - she obviously has good taste

Ha! Sorted!

Elle Elizabeth Rose it is!

DH has agreed, so before he changes his mind, it's done.

I love it!

Thanks so much all!

lovely

I love Elle Elizabeth Rose, Elizabeth is my middle name but with an S and DD2's middle name is Rose.

LadyoftheFlowers, if you are anything like I was during my pregnancy with DD3, my girl's names threads were legendary on here for my indecisiveness! Ask dizzy! (was pgwithnumber3 dizzy).

That's lovely.

Shame that you didn't go for 'Elle Mary'' though

LOL Daft.

Thanks all! x
