These are our girls’ name ideas... Grace, Eleanor, April or Nora.

With proposed middle names...
Grace Elizabeth
Eleanor Grace
April Elizabeth
Nora Grace

Favourites? I’m torn between classic but quite popular and more unusual and unique...

Annie is lovely. Congrats

Ah. Welcome, Annie!

Hellohah · 02/12/2018 22:24

I absolutely love Nora.

moredoll · 02/12/2018 22:23

Grace and Eleanor are lovely, April less so, Nora much, much less so.

I've just seen your annoucement. Annie is lovely OP. Congratulations on your new arrival. Hope all is well Flowers

Grace Elizabeth 100%. The others are no where near as nice. Whilst Grace is popular, it's a timeless classic.

Eleanor and Nora are ugly names (sorry). And April is so dull.

Eleanor Grace

Thank you!
I’d forgotten all about this post until someone resurrected it to ask what our final choice was.
I still love all four of these names though!

Grace or Eleanor

MeganJ93 · 02/12/2018 14:35

Nora would be my second choice.

Eleanor Grace is my favourite, but I also like Grace Elizabeth and April Grace. I'm not keen on Nora.

RuthW · 02/12/2018 08:44

April Grace

Oops sorry ghosty thread

3ChangingForNow · 01/12/2018 23:12

April

PerfectPeony · 01/12/2018 23:09

I’m biased. As I have a Grace Elizabeth. ❤️

We chose it because it has no nicknames (other than Gracie which is cute for when she is small), Elizabeth is a family name for us but also goes beautifully with Grace. It is classic and I have no regrets. We also liked Florence Rose or Violet!

I suppose it is a popular name, I haven’t met any babies at groups with the same name yet though.

Icantfindausername · 01/12/2018 23:04

What did you decide on OP?

17caterpillars1mouse · 04/05/2018 07:50

Nora Grace though I prefer Norah as it looks more complete

Norah April?

Fintress · 03/05/2018 22:46

I love the name Grace. Not keen on April.

blinkineckmum · 03/05/2018 22:43

April

DrinkYourGreenTea · 03/05/2018 12:57

Nora 100%. No contest.

jollygoose · 03/05/2018 12:29

pleasedont call the poor mite Nora its so hard, Elizabeth or Eleanor lovely, Eleanor could always be Nora for short if you really like it but she would have the choice of a much more graceful name.
