I think we have found our girl names, just thought I'd run it by the nest of vipers gauntlet to make sure I am not making a terrible hormonal mistake.
Eleanor (which is DP's grandmother's name), I like it because it has scope for nns Ellie,Ella,Lea,Leanor,Nora,... as well as being nice in it's full form and having a family connection.
Middle name would be Roisin which is also the name of a family member.

Eleanor is beautiful

DramaAlpaca · 21/02/2014 14:23

Eleanor Roisin is gorgeous.

rebecklet · 21/02/2014 14:02

Beautiful - Eleanor Rose is our number one choice, so of course I would love it!

NadiaWadia · 21/02/2014 05:27

Nothing wrong with Ellie, just there are gazillions of them around! Probably because it can also be short for 'Ella' and maybe other names.

Daisyjane12 · 21/02/2014 01:39

What's wrong with ellie as a name?

Davidhasselhoffstoecheese · 20/02/2014 23:38

Best nn is nell though

Yonineedaminute · 20/02/2014 23:34

Ah it's a lovely name! Can I just say though it is certainly NOT unusual, at least not where I live - there are millions or Eleanor's and Ellie's!

Well gender scan is in and they reckon there are no boy bits and that we are therefore team pink. So Eleanor Roisin it is! Grin

Eleanor is such a beautiful name. You done good Grin

Roisín is lovely, shame that can't be the first name.

squoosh · 27/01/2014 14:34

I’ve always disliked this name, it sounds harsh to me. But that’s just my opinion, it’s perfectly sensible name just doesn't appeal to me.

Nora is lovely though.

pilates · 27/01/2014 13:13

Both names sound lovely together.
