I am due my first baby on Sunday and suddenly realising how soon we're going to have to pick a name. We've had three that we have liked for a while but I wondered what your thoughts are. And if you have any other suggestions...?

Alice Elinor
Rose Margaret
Orla May

(all of the middle names are family names, but I think each one sounds best with the first name!)

Thanks!

Alice Elinor hands down. Rose is so so so so so so so overdone as a middle, but Rose Margaret is my second pick if Rose is a first. Orla May is nice but doesn't do anything for me, if that makes sense.

Alice Elinor. Just beautiful. I honestly can't see how you could better that, especially if Elinor (love the spelling) is a family name.

I would swap it around to Margaret Rose! Love it Smile

In order of preference

Rose Margaret - Love
Alice Elinor - not sure about the spelling of Elinor
Orla May - not a fan of Orla like May though

All three are lovey but I'd have Alice Elinor as my first choice with Orla May 2nd. Best of luck!
