We're super stuck between Eleanor, Alice, Elizabeth and felicity.

It would be:
Eleanor Alice (nn Elle)
Alice Florence
Elizabeth Rose (nn Eliza)
or
Felicity Alice (not too keen on any nicknames for Felicity)

Please give us your opinions, we'd love to hear them

Elizabeth

Eliza is lovely

The risk with Eleanor is that she may end up as one of the loads of Ellies out there already.

DryIce · 09/12/2018 07:42

Eleanor Alice!

tammytoby · 09/12/2018 07:33

Felicity is beautiful and much more interesting than Eleanor or Alice!

HappyGoLuckyGo · 08/12/2018 23:41

I’d cross Felicity off the list if you don’t like the nicknames. Since Alice came up 3 times, I think you ought to choose between Eleanor Alice and Alice Florence.

So, OP... “hi, this is my daughter, Eleanor- we call her Elle” or “hi, this is my daughter, Alice”??

Alice is one of my favourite names and not many around these days.

EatShitBoswell · 08/12/2018 16:47

I love Eleanor Rose (not keen on Alice)
Or Elizabeth Rose
Both are so beautiful

Felicia

Icklepup · 08/12/2018 14:22

Alice Florence

MadameJosephine · 08/12/2018 14:18

Love Felicity, beautiful and not heard very often

Hohofortherobbers · 08/12/2018 14:18

But I prefer it Florence Alice, not Alice Florence

Hohofortherobbers · 08/12/2018 14:17

I like Florence and Alice

tammytoby · 08/12/2018 13:58

Felicity is beautiful.

Astronica · 08/12/2018 13:17

All good names and I see your dilemma! I'm not keen on Rose in the middle though as it is such a default middle name. Eleanor is probably my favourite, though I'm not so keen on Elle as a short form, so would choose either Alice or Felicity. Does any one of them sound better with your surname?

mishgs · 07/12/2018 22:13

Alice

Lucyquack · 07/12/2018 22:10

Love Eleanor (doubt she would be nicknamed by anyone but the family but I much prefer Eleanor to Elle anyway) and Elizabeth. Alice is meh to me and really dislike Felicity

ellenpartridge · 07/12/2018 20:49

Alice then Eleanor

midsomermurderess · 07/12/2018 20:26

Eleanor then Alice. Not fussed by the other two.

Mamabearx4 · 07/12/2018 20:21

I have a felicity, shortened to flissy, so im biased.she doesnt have a middle name

But i like all thr names. Not helpful i know

mimibunz · 07/12/2018 20:19

Eleanor or Felicity (Flis or Flick)

bearfood · 07/12/2018 20:15

Dd is Felicity but goes by Flo. I'm biased but I love it!

Mum2jenny · 07/12/2018 20:12

I loathe Liz or Lizzie as a nickname for Elizabeth, much prefer Beth or Eliza. Or even Lilibet.

kenandbarbie · 07/12/2018 20:10

All lovely, felicity is my least favourite.

Hippopotas · 07/12/2018 20:09

Eleanor

I think Eleanor Rose would be nice
