Elizabeth.

Crunchymum · 13/01/2020 15:25

They are all nice but I'd go Elizabeth, Eleanor and then Violet.

SallyWD · 13/01/2020 13:23

I love them all. Elizabeth is best for nicknames but they're all beautiful names

Tayla9889 · 13/01/2020 13:21

Eleanor is beautiful

sel2223 · 13/01/2020 08:25

All beautiful names

Astronica · 13/01/2020 02:34

Really hard one as I love all these. Eleanor first I think, but that's just today!

17caterpillars1mouse · 12/01/2020 19:47

Eleanor or Eleanore if I can

SaorsaSolasta · 11/01/2020 15:30

Eleanor or Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a name I adore. I love all the various shortenings (except Liz and Lizzie). But I have known children caled by the full name and also shortened to Ellie, Beth, Libby, Betsy and Eliza.

We almost used it for DD2, but our favourite nicknames (Libby and Eliza) we're already in use.

Elizabeth is nice because it is a traditional name, lots of options but not too many around. I teach very few girls with this name.

Eleanor is nice too, but there are so many of them around.

Sorry, but I dislike Violet.

Eleanor
Violet
Elizabeth

I wouldn't shorten any of these names, I detest shortened names,

pollywobble · 11/01/2020 14:17

Elizabeth is nice and has so many different toned diminutives
Violet-a bit twee
Eleanor - really common here in its various forms

letmebefrank · 11/01/2020 14:12

Violet or Violetta

Lovely names

HindsightIs2020Vision · 11/01/2020 14:08

Elizabeth nn Lizzy or Beth

PumpkinMun · 11/01/2020 11:55

I love Elizabeth so much, such a beautiful name

MrsBertBibby · 10/01/2020 23:47

Elizabeth is great. Eleanor (or Elinor) is very good.

Violet is frankly execrable.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/01/2020 22:58

Violet

Strugglingtodomybest · 10/01/2020 22:46

daisypond · 10/01/2020 22:21

Eleanor or Elizabeth. Never Violet.
