Can I be contrary and say Brodie and Elinor?!

All lovely names though.

Congratulations and welcome!

Oliver and Elinor are the nicer names imo, but I think they are a bit too samey. Don't like Brodie.

Is Brodie for a boy? I've only heard it for girls recently.

Oliver and Gracie I like.

We like it spelt Elinor.

Brodie is definitely for a boy! Scottish origin.

Love Brodie, prefer Grace to Gracie, did you want them to sound similar?

I think the less common spelling of Elinor will really annoy her throughout her life.
Out of the 4, I'd choose Oliver and Grace
OK - I know I've adapted it slightly, but, I think 'Gracie' is a real 'little girl's name'. why not call her Grace, and you can still refer to hr as Gracie while she is little, but it's not her actual name for more formal, adult times.

I agree with pp Oliver and Grace.

Oliver and grace (or Gracie)

I think with Oliver and elinor, the danger is they will become Ollie and Ellie, which is really matchy!

Oliver and Gracie!

Another vote for Oliver & Grace.

I like Oliver & Elinor, but they'll inevitably get called Ollie & Ellie. Depends if you'd mind that or not.

Gracie is a bit cutesy, and I'm not keen on Brodie.

Oliver and Grace, Gracie at home.

Oliver and Grace sound lovely together Smile Agree Gracie sounds more like a nn for people close rather an actual name.

But go with your instincts x
