Baby girl has arrived...

And we have to finalise her name by tomorrow (hospital regs here!)

She arrived on my mum's birthday Smile so I thought it would be nice to somehow honour my mum with her middle name? This is slightly complicated by the fact that mum strongly dislikes her name (Angela), and my DN has Angela as her MN, so we thought a similar but not identical MN might work? Would love your thoughts...

Eloise Angeline
Eloise Angelica
Or avoiding grandma's name entirely and going with:
Eloise Beatrice

Opinions very gratefully received!

Eloise Angeline is beautiful.

But Eloise Angela is even nicer, I can't see why the niece having the same middle name is relevant at all and as for your mum not liking her name, my mum is the same but was delighted when we gave it to DD as a middle name.

Love two middle name idea.

Otherwise I'd go with Angelica over Angeline simply because I think you've got a lot of soft sounds and you need the harder sound that the C provides to break it up.

Eloise Angeline is beautiful. My second choice would be Beatrice. I don't like Angelica I'm afraid. My baby DD has 3 names. It's a bit of a mouthful but we wanted to honour a beloved member on both sides

Congratulations! Personally I love option 1 x

HopeArden · 25/06/2016 06:41

I like the first one.
Congratulations Flowers

Congratulations! I agree with two middle names;

Eloise Beatrice Angelica

Thanks 😀
I thinks that's a lovely name.
Oh and congratulations

How about 2 middle names? Eloise Beatrice Angelica. I did two middle names for my dd.

CarlGrimesMissingEye · 25/06/2016 06:38

Ell-oh--eese (the last bit like cheese).

I like Eloise Beatrice too

miwelaisjacydo · 25/06/2016 06:35

I like the third name but sorry to be thick how do you pronounce the first name?
