What d'you think of...

Eleanora Josephine? I know it's very long, but our last name is one syllable. Eleanora was DH's grandmother, and the Josephine is for my mother who is Jody. We would use Ellie for a nn and our DS is Sam.

(By the way I'm not preg so this is theoretical. I'm just bored! Do plan to ttc in the next year or so.)

Really pretty, I love them.

[MaryBS]

Wouldn't recommend them for a boy though

[Jojay]

Lovely.

Not keen on Ellie though.

Nora?

Ella?

[CheerfulYank]

I did like Ella originally but now Ella is v.v. popular here. Also like just plain Elle.

I prefer Ellie with Sam than Ella .

For fear of people saying "oh ! here come Sam and Ella" (sounds like salmonella)

Just kidding!

I think I like both equally nice!
Elle is very very nice too!

[CheerfulYank]

LOL hadn't thought of Sam 'n' Ella sounding like salmonella but you're absolutely right! I'll probably go with Ellie or Elle anyway. I really like Elle, but our last name is sort of...it sounds..oh for eff's sake, our last name is Brick. Is there a no last name rule on mumsnet? Anyway I think Elle Brick sounds a bit abrupt.

Gorgeous names. Particularly like Josephine, it's a name we've considered adding to our shortlist.
