Eleanor

I like Eleanor the best, but the amount of Ellie's I come across would really put me right off. If you are happy to go with Nora, or Nori as an NN. It is a beautiful name though, just Ellie, isnt.

Madeleine is also lovely, but too common for my tastes, & I don't care much for the inevitable Maddy.

Georgina is nice enough

Georgina

Madeleine, but I don't like the other two names.

Madeleine

Georgina

Love Georgina. Hate Eleanor for personal reasons...really hate it. Madeleine is a bit dull.

Boolovessulley · 14/10/2016 20:56

Madeleine. I like Elenor but think it would get shortened to Ellie of which there are thousands.
Georgina is nice too.

Georgina

HerSpookyFattyness · 14/10/2016 18:19

Damn phone. Obviously meant to be Georgina not Georgia

HerSpookyFattyness · 14/10/2016 18:18

Eleanor
Georgia
Madeleine

Eleanor was on my list had DS2 been a girl.

Georgina was my best friend in primary school. (My only friend actually) she was the sweetest, kindest girl you could meet.
Madeleine is meh. Don't particularly like it.

Eleanor was my DPs choice of name but he let me have mine. I really liked it but not as much as my choice and he had named our DS.
Our name choice is much less common where we live.

Eleanor

Eleanor.

I hate hate hate Maddie, such an ugly nickname of a beautiful name.

Georgina is too 1980s posh for me!

TempsPerdu · 14/10/2016 13:03

Definitely Eleanor for me - pretty, timeless and nickname wouldn't necessarily have to be Ellie. You could have Nell/Lena/Leni/Nora - loads of options. Plus (randomly but interestingly) Eleanor is one of the most overrepresented names at Oxbridge. Smilewww.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-26634477

Madeleine is OK, but I really dislike Maddie and don't think it has quite as many alternative options as Eleanor. Plus as others have said there are loads of them about.

Really dislike Georgina - just a personal thing, but not a pleasant combination of sounds imo (don't like George/Georgia either for the same reason)

n0ne · 14/10/2016 10:25

Georgina or Eleanor. I'm bored of Madeleine.

MitzyLeFrouf · 14/10/2016 10:23

I love the nickname Georgie so I'll vote for Georgina even though I don't love it.

roseteapot101 · 14/10/2016 09:41

Eleanor

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/10/2016 09:40

Eleanor or Ellen.
