Just that really,
Which middle name would you pick to go with Alice, Elizabeth or Eleanor?

@RedLimoncello

My first name is a variant of Alice and second name is Elizabeth. I really like it!
Lol! My first name is Alice and Eleanor is a variant of my middle name!

I slightly prefer Alice Elizabeth though. It has a lyrical rhythm.

Eleanor.

Kitkat151 · 14/02/2021 23:18

Elizabeth.....just nicer

I have an Alice Elizabeth. I think it flows better.

Eleanor Ann or Eleanor Jane.
Alice Jane or Alice Jean
Elizabeth Jane or Elizabeth Ann or Elizabeth Mary or Margaret.
Lydia Jane Hibbert (Holy Goat)

Alice Elizabeth sounds nicer, but both are lovely!

daisydalrymple · 14/02/2021 22:51

Both are beautiful.
Alice Elizabeth is very royal. Princess Anne has Elizabeth Alice as MN, and Lady Louise has Alice Elizabeth as MN.
Eleanor was going to be dc3’s MN, but instead it’s Matthew Grin

Imo Alice Elizabeth follows better.

Firebird83 · 14/02/2021 00:09

Alice Eleanor

Devlesko · 13/02/2021 23:35

Elizabeth is my fav girls name, I'd put it first, such amazing options.
I know you didn't ask that. Grin

IdblowJonSnow · 13/02/2021 23:16

Both names work with Alice.
One of my DDs has Eleanor in their name. Love it.

Pemba · 13/02/2021 23:13

Alice Eleanor flows better, although I like Elizabeth. Too many 's' and 'z' sounds close together in Alice Elizabeth.

Alice and Eleanor as names seem to come from the same era as well.

Viviennemary · 13/02/2021 23:00

Elizabeth flows better.

timetest · 13/02/2021 22:59

Alice Elizabeth has a good ring to it.

thelittlestrhino · 13/02/2021 22:58

I know an Alice Elizabeth (she always uses her full name) and she’s fab, so that would be my choice. Both are nice though Smile

beccahamlet · 13/02/2021 22:56

Elizabeth

Lemonsyellow · 13/02/2021 22:55

It flows much better with Elizabeth. But both are nice names.

MadeOfStarStuff · 13/02/2021 22:53

Elizabeth

Giraffaelina · 13/02/2021 21:41

I love Eleanor but I think Alice goes better with Elizabeth...sounds smoother.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 13/02/2021 21:38

Both are nice but I'd choose Alice Eleanor. Elizabeth and Alice are both the most perennially classic/timeless girls names in the UK, so I think using the feisty (if currently quite popular) Eleanor helps give Alice a bit of an edge.

Bluesername · 13/02/2021 17:09

Eleanor.

Elizabeth is fusty and overused as a middle name.

Maybemay123 · 13/02/2021 16:58

Elizabeth flows better.

manyhorror · 13/02/2021 16:48

Eleanor. Elizabeth is gorgeous too but more overused as a middle name.
