Middle name for Eliza

I love the names Sarah and Iris, but I don't think they work with Eliza, too many vowel sounds. Would love your opinions of;

Eliza Darcy
Eliza Wilow
Eliza Constance
Eliza Scarlet
Eliza Phoebe
Eliza Daisy
Eliza Mai/May

Last name is long.

Jane. It's the only one.

I think they all go fine with Eliza though would not go for Darcey because of the Pride and Prejudice connection. (Also personally am not keen on Willow.)

I really think it depends upon your (and your partner's) taste in names. If you want a classic (and nice) but not v imaginative combination, go for Rose/ Jane/ May, etc.
If you want something a little different then I think Scarlett and Hope are both great.

Actually we are also expecting DC3 (a girl) and Eliza is top/ near top of my list an my favourite combination (before I saw yours) was Eliza Scarlett.
I also really like Eliza Constance, Eliza Maude, Eliza Grace, Eliza Hope but this is my personal taste only!

Good luck deciding.

Eliza Jane is the prettiest and classiest I think

Eliza Willow
Eliza Rose
Eliza Beth

Out of the ones you now have on your list, either Rose or Grace would be best.

superfrenchie1 · 04/10/2008 22:44

oh sorry you said you didn't like Anne! i am a div

superfrenchie1 · 04/10/2008 22:44

...going with the 1-syllable thing as Eliza is 3-syllables and you say the surname is long... otherwise would be a bit of a mouthful? i think there are enough nice short sweet 1-syllable names to choose for a middle name...

superfrenchie1 · 04/10/2008 22:42

I like
Eliza Rose
Eliza Grace
Eliza Hope
Eliza Ruth
Eliza Anne
Eliza Belle
Eliza Mae

Lil' Liza Jane!

I think a one-syllable name would be better.

mytetherisending · 04/10/2008 22:09

Eliza Lilly or Rose

mytetherisending · 04/10/2008 22:09

Eliza may is my dd1s name Great choice of first name!

Lubyloo · 04/10/2008 22:08

Eliza May is my favourite.

How about Eliza Jayne? ELiza Anne?

missblythe · 04/10/2008 22:08

Constance is lovely, as is Grace

SoMuchToBits · 04/10/2008 22:07

Eliza Jane

We have a couple of these in my family.

My great-great-grandmother was an Eliza Jane, and she was a great lady!

I am honestly happy to go with majority decision on this one (from original list obviously - to which I am adding Grace)
