@Lacienay , El-Lenny

Lacienay · 15/01/2023 12:17

Really don’t like Mercy or Constance.
How is Eleni pronounced? Like Elaine-ee?

Eden Faith & Eleni Joy are the best pair IMHO

stopringingme · 15/01/2023 11:41

Constance joy
Phoebe hope

KirstenBlest · 15/01/2023 11:35

Eden - not keen
Phoebe - fine
Mercy - ok but might be quite a name to carry off
Eleni - will get mispronounced and misspelt. I'd only use if there's a greek connection. Too many El- names popular now
Constance (Connie) - fine

I'd go for Phoebe and Constance

Eden: I don't like the sound of it. It's also very "evangelical Christian" imo. But that would obviously appeal to you if you happen to be an evangelical Christian...

Phoebe: I like it.

Mercy: I do not like it.

Eleni: Very nice!

Constance (Connie): I wouldn't use it as a first name. It does however work as a middle name imo.

Eleni and Phoebe would be great imo! Constance does have a nice flow when combined with either.

Ooh twin girls. How gorgeous. I don’t think you can go wrong I like Phoebe and Eden as a pair but your others are nice too. Phoebe is my favourite girls name ever. I wish I was called Phoebe 😂

ThatshallotBaby · 15/01/2023 10:35

Constance Eden
Eleni Joy

ThatshallotBaby · 15/01/2023 10:35

Ok, for twins definitely Constance and Eleni. No question.

FlounderingFruitcake · 15/01/2023 10:32

Eleni and Phoebe!
And I do also like Constance as a middle name.
Not keen on Eden and especially dislike Mercy.

LaLuz7 · 15/01/2023 10:32

Eden - no. Too Biblical
Phoebe - ok, a little whimsical on an adult
Mercy - no. I hate virtue names. Evokes inmate on death row images
Eleni - pretty.
Constance (Connie) - no. Mercy name and very dated.

Other middle names we are thinking of are Joy and Hope or Faith.

For twins rather than for a first and middle name, but helpful to have first and middle names too as we love all the names and can use up the remaining names this way 😁

Do you have Greek heritage?

LetsDoThis2023 · 15/01/2023 09:01

Eleni is the nicest by MILES.

WrendaleCountryDogs · 15/01/2023 08:50

Do you mean pair as in twins or as a first and middle name?
Eden and Phoebe for twins ❤ or Connie and Phoebe. Not Constance.
First/middle name then Phoebe Connie or Phoebe Constance.

Whatdayisitalexa · 15/01/2023 08:49

Eden Eleni (Eleni pronounced Eh,lenny) I like Constance too nn Connie

CastleTower · 15/01/2023 08:29

Phoebe Constance

VenusClapTrap · 15/01/2023 08:20

Love Constance.

Mumofgirls2017 · 15/01/2023 08:16

Eden- love
Phoebe- meh
Mercy- no
Eleni- quite like
Constance (Connie)- Connie is ok but not keen on Constance

tbh quite mixed and none obviously go together but maybe Constance and Phoebe?

Eatentoomanyroses · 15/01/2023 08:02

I know a Phoebe Eleni funnily enough. That’s my favourite.

Hobbesmanc · 15/01/2023 08:02

Connie is such a great name. Classic yet still very contemporary sounding. Phoebe has been over done. The others are a bit meh.

SmileWithADimple · 15/01/2023 08:00

I like Eden and Constance (Connie). Prefer Elena to Eleni.

lljkk · 15/01/2023 07:59

I cannot warm to Phoebe. It'll be fine if you use it because lots of people like it, but personally I shudder when I hear it. the rest are all fine or even very nice.

Bobbycat123 · 15/01/2023 07:35

Eleni and Phoebe are both great

atteatimeeverybodyagrees · 15/01/2023 07:22

Mercy is the only one I like the others are very "now" and that puts me off but it might not put you off.
