hi all

finally we have decided our future daughter's name is going to be eloise.. i love it, feminine enough without being too saccharine! any opinions?

i am stuck for a middle name though, my surname is one syllabel and i cannot seem to find something that goes with eloise...

thanks :)

right we have decided, thanks so much for your help.

eloise mary

my mum is thrilled we are going to use her name. my mum is ace and very giving without ever demanding anything and i would like her to shine rather than take a back seat..

hi old and grey, 1 syllable!

i do love mary as a middle name, am yet to convince my husband. i would love for her to have my mums name but then my mil is very close and would feel she was left out then. her name is jacqueline funnily enough which is lovely too!

hmm will continue the think, thanks guys ats all helping

I wanted Eloise for dd2's first name. She would then have been Eloise Olivia.

As it is xp got his way and she is Chloe Eloise instead.

oldandgreynow · 27/12/2010 12:18

I think it needs a shorter middle name as ithas 3 syllables.How many syllables has your surname?

Lonnie · 27/12/2010 00:53

Eloise Jacqueline

it suits longer middle names imo its a beautiful name.

threefeethighandrising · 25/12/2010 23:08

Eloise Madeline is lovely.

I also really like Eloise Mary, I think it's really nice to have a name that means something.

I have an Eloise Charlotte, which (obviously) I love :)

The daughter I never had would have been eloise alexandra. I never had a 2nd favourite so god knows what would have happened if I had 2 girls not boys

PuppyMonkey · 23/12/2010 08:38

I like Eloise Amelia best.

Am singing the song now ........

MissMiniEggs · 23/12/2010 08:28

Eloise May is pretty

BelligerentYhoULE · 22/12/2010 22:54

Eloise Violet
Eloise Christabel

oooh thanks ladies, glad you all like it. i think it is beautiful, not too common but not too rare either..

i love eloise madeline, that was our other choice as a name but being a mandy having both a maddy and mandy in one family sounded far too confusing!

also mary, that is my mum's middle name.. very much a possibility too!

i used to get called may and my middle name is jane so not over keen on those. anne i do like though.. in fact you have all given me so many options i hadnt thought of i am going to have to have a chat with my husband and twist his arm into one of these.

thanks i will report back!

its such a yummy name though.. only 7 weeks to go, so excited! my little boy is called benjamin and i think the names go well together!

Love that name, always wanted to be her living in the Plaza with nanny, weenie and skiperdee wreaking havoc :)

Desiderata · 22/12/2010 21:34

In an ideal world, we'd need your surname so it would all scan.

I don't know why, but I'm quite liking Reece, or something along those lines.

jeremycackson · 22/12/2010 21:31

I have one and really really love it too.

Ours is Eloise Madeleine.

LeakMyWiki · 22/12/2010 21:29

I love the books too.

Sinkingfeeling · 22/12/2010 21:28

I love it - bit biased though as it's dd3's name. She's Eloise Beatrice.

LittleYellowTeapot · 22/12/2010 21:21

Eloise Martha
Eloise Mabel
Eloise Imogen
