Eloise

Tabitha = cat
Don't like Emmeline
Eloise is quite sweet.

Emmeline, but be prepared to spend your life correcting people from Emily.

Our cat is called Tabitha (sorry!). Tabs for short.

Eloise or Tabitha.

Emmeline could be shortened to Emma. But then why not just use Emma?

The Eloise I know is lovely, but always has been known as the full Eloise. Never anything shorter.

Éloïse is beautiful.

FizzyGreenWater · 02/02/2020 17:43

Tabitha definitely!

Emmie

Emmeline

I don't get it. Why name a child a name just to change it? If you like Ella why not just call her Ella? I really like Eloise which is a completely different name to Ella lol

fantasmasgoria1 · 02/02/2020 19:46

Emmeline was someone who bullied me so that's a no. Don't like tabitha but love Eloise!

BabbleBee · 02/02/2020 19:48

Eloise tends to get shortened to Ellie, really don’t know why as it’s beautiful. It’s my favourite out of your choices but I couldn’t shorten it to Ella!

Tabitha is lovely, would you be happy with Tab / Tabs?

Emmeline is lovely. Possibly will be misheard as Emily?

Eloise
Not Tabitha! Agree with PP that it works for cats better than humans

Tabitha

Purpletigers · 02/02/2020 20:29

Tabitha or Evangeline . Not as keen on Emmaline

Eloise completely doesn't fit with your other names - I think she'd really feel she got the short straw with that one. And yes, Ellie - completely overused.
