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

Alice.

I'm an Elizabeth and you'd really have to push for Eliza, as it's not a natural shortening. She will almost certainly get Liz or Lizzy, regardless of how you feel about it.

I like all of them, but I don't like Elle at all, although Eleanor is probably my favourite of your suggestions. Elizabeth (Eliza) would be my choice next.

I'd choose Alice

They are all lovely, classic and classy names. You have good taste in names so take your pick. Whatever goes best with surname.

all nice.
Love Eleanor, love Alice, Elizabeth is a bit meh, but actually I think is making a comeback,a nd I love it with unconventional nn, (anything but Liz)
love Felicity too!

On balance with 4 nice names, I would use Alice as the middle name. (Rose is nice, but very well used at the mo)

I really like felicity but they are all nice names

zen1 · 07/12/2018 17:35

The shortening of Elizabeth to Eliza is a lovely nn. I like Florence Alice (I know that’s not your preferred order though) too, with the nn Florrie.

Cecily came to mind
sorry , not helpful

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 07/12/2018 17:31

Love them all. Probably would go with Felicity.

CarrieBlu · 07/12/2018 17:31

We have an Elizabeth Florence who usually goes by Eliza/Eliza Flo. We’ve always had positive feedback about her name.

I also really like Eleanor.

pallisers · 07/12/2018 17:31

I like them all except Felicity (when I read Mallory Towers I had never heard of that name so pronounced it in my head Feckilty - it has never really left me).

Eleanor is probably my favourite (although I do have a dd with one of the other names :)) but I wouldn't shorten it.

All your choices are lovely though my preference is Elizabeth Rose.

Alice
