One week old: Eleanor or Georgina?

Hi all, James, Isabella and Charlotte’s little sister is here safe and sound. She is a dote, albeit a nameless one.

We are down to our final two names, no new suggestions please! We love both names and cannot decide.

So what do you think?
Eleanor Georgina
Or
Georgina Eleanor

Both are lovely (but not as lovely as your baby)

I would go for Georgina to avoid any confusion with Eleanor pronunciation.

She’s beautiful. As is her name.

Hi all, thanks for all your comments, it really cemented the name that we wanted. I agree that Eleanor is the best ‘fit’ with the others.

HOWEVER, my heart couldn’t let go of Georgina and I know now that I would have name regret if if I didn’t choose it.

So we are so thankful to welcome Georgina Eleanor into our family xxx

Thanks again x

Probably too late- but I think Georgina flows better when said with all the other children’s names.

Aliciahartismyhero · 09/12/2017 04:46

Ah congratulations! I'm biased as my sister is eleanor but she is truly awesome and can attest it's great name!

rowtheboats · 09/12/2017 04:31

@Fakingit36 isn’t Eleanore always pronounced Elen-ore?!!! It is in England and Australia. Elena is a different name isn’t it?! Hope I haven’t been calling people the wrong name this whole time!

Wow OP she is absolutely gorgeous. I think both names are nice and both go with your other DC’s names. I would think it’s choosing between Ellie or Nell/Nellie and Georgee/George?

Buntysoven · 09/12/2017 00:33

Congratulations she's a real little beauty! I love Georgina so that gets my vote.

MajesticWhine · 09/12/2017 00:06

Georgina Eleanor

I thought Georgina as soon as I looked at her. She's utterly delicious. Congratulations !

LegArmpits · 08/12/2017 23:57

She looks a bit like my G-Child when she was a newborn 11 years ago... ❤️

Amy106 · 08/12/2017 23:52

Beautiful, beautiful baby. I like Georgina. Flowers
