Eloise, Noa, Noelle or Eleanor??!! Name Poll

52 replies

QueCat · 18/02/2024 06:38

Please help me decide on what to call my daughter.

We both love Noa but worried it’s too popular as a boy name and will forever be saying ‘no H’ and she’s a girl! Middle names Louise and Jean are honour names.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

In my head, Noa is a muscly Israeli soldier lady.
Eloise is a bit fussy.
Eleanor’s lovely.

DaisyHaites · 19/02/2024 17:11

I think Noa works as a nickname for Eleanor - then if she really hates correcting people she has Eleanor as a back up option but can go by Noa day to day if she prefers.

I love Noa by the way.

Noelle Louise Jean sounds like you are telling people the name is Louise with no ‘L’ IYSWIM. I think I like Noelle best but only if you switch the middle names around to Jean Louise.

KThnxBye · 19/02/2024 17:07

Out of those choices I’d choose Eleanor Louise Jean.

Other possible permutations I like:

Louisa Eleanor Jean
Evangeline (Genie - Jeanie) Louise
Jean Eloise
Elinor Louisa Jean

But I would spell it Heloise. I wouldn't. People will say it as Hel-, and it looks like it needs an accent.

NewMoonontuesday · 19/02/2024 16:14

I know an Eloise and she never gets Ella/Ellie as nickname always her full name. But I would spell it Heloise.
But I love Eleanor, like Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.

TM1979 · 19/02/2024 07:51

Love Noelle. Not keen on the others at all especially Eloise.

Argh, genuine mistake, sorry!!

NewYearNewJob2024 · 18/02/2024 22:21

Noelle!

ThursdayTomorrow · 18/02/2024 22:20

Noa is definitely a beardy old Biblical guy.

PeridotSparkle · 18/02/2024 22:18

I know a Noelle and it's nit pronounced christmassy.

She pronounces it Nole to rhyme with cole.

Not No elle

Just saying.

purpleme12 · 18/02/2024 22:18

DiscoBeat · 18/02/2024 20:10

I mean admit, whenever I hear Noel/Noelle I assume that person was born at Christmas. Noa is lovely but will require a spelling lesson every single time. So from those choices I would go with Elouise.

It's ELOISE!!

PeridotSparkle · 18/02/2024 22:16

You cant use Eloise and Louise!

DiscoBeat · 18/02/2024 20:10

Chickcloud · 18/02/2024 20:05

Noelle. Only ever met one and thought it was a lovely name!

TheWordWomanIsTaken · 18/02/2024 15:20

Noelle

Caspianberg · 18/02/2024 11:58

Noa is Jewish imo, so fine if your Jewish, tad strange otherwise

Nora?

Nora Jean Louise

Spirallingdownwards · 18/02/2024 11:57

Very unmumsnetty I know but I like all 4 variations 😁 But prefer Eloise.

Scrumbleton · 18/02/2024 11:51

sorry i think Noa would be a mistake. i love Eloise - unusual but not too out there. I'd drop Louise as the middle name tho as already covered in the first name.

PennyPugwash · 18/02/2024 11:42

Eloise for the win

purpleme12 · 18/02/2024 11:19

Noelle

HyacinthBoucket · 18/02/2024 11:13

Sonora25 · 18/02/2024 06:39

I would switch the middle names
Eleonor Jean Louise has a better flow

Agree with this

shoopshoopdedoo · 18/02/2024 10:29

I quite like Noelle and Eleanor. Not keen on Noa. Really dislike Eloise.

I love Jean! I’d go with Jean Louise. Also love Louisa Jean.

bzarda · 18/02/2024 10:22

Eloise is my mums name and she gets called Ally, Ellie, and Louise as nicknames so I would avoid Eloise Louise if you can.

All lovely names :) I love Eloise and Noelle

user1492757084 · 18/02/2024 10:19
