Middle name for Eleanor?

28 replies

Can’t decide on a middle name, we like Eleanor Grace but also a bit put off by its popularity as a middle name, any ideas?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Not Rose/May/Grace/Jane/Anne/Louise etc
Not a name starting with a vowel or she'll be Elena Ran or similar.

Every girl is something Rose/Grace/May, they’re so overused.

I have an Eleanor Ruth my irrepressible youngest child. Starer at snails, bird whisperer and frog rescuer. I watch her and wonder what her future holds

If I had of had a girl she would have been Eleanor Joyce after my two grandmothers :)

Evansessance · 15/11/2024 04:15

Eleanor Ann, or Eleanor Annette. Eleanor Avery. I like double vowels.

Pemba · 14/11/2024 23:25

Eleanor Grace is very nice, but if you're considering alternatives how about

Eleanor Mary
Eleanor Katherine/Catherine
Eleanor Ruth

As Eleanor is very classic I think a classic middle name would be good.

afinethingindeed · 14/11/2024 21:33

Eleanor Belle

Modranihtandtomtens · 14/11/2024 21:30

@Atishooo funny how geographical these things must be! I know one child and one adult called Grace. Zero middle names at all!!

Though that being said I only know the middle names of a very select group of children/adults. Doesn't get brought up in wider conversation that much as a rule.

Really like Eleanor Grace.
I wouldn't let popularity put you off if you really like it.

Eleanor Kate
Eleanor Claire
Eleanor June

Like Eleanor Alice and Eleanor Louise suggested above too.

summerlovingvibes · 14/11/2024 19:07

I know an Eleanor Rose. I know common but both names mean something to the family and they liked them so did it anyway.

sel2223 · 14/11/2024 19:04

Isn't it a shame that Grace and Rose are sooooo common and overused as middle names now as they both go lovely!

Personally, I'd stick with the one syllable but find something different:

Eleanor Kate
Eleanor Jane
Eleanor Faith
Eleanor Hope
Eleanor Jean
Eleanor Jade
Eleanor Leigh
Eleanor May
Eleanor Faye
Eleanor Joy
