Libby Eleanor Holmes or Martha Eleanor Holmes?

Can't really decide between the two.....

DH def wants Eleanor as a middle name after his Mum which I'm more than happy with and Holmes is our surname.

We would just call her Libby as it is, not short for Elizabeth.

Any opinions would be gratefully received.

Thank you xx

Martha Eleanor Holmes would be very nice

Not keen on Libby I'm afraid.

Libby is lovely
Martha on the dull side
Libby Eleanor charming

Martha

Really don't like Liberty/Libby. Martha is lovely though imo.

LynetteScavo · 30/07/2010 13:33

Martha.

I love Libby. Martha is ok.

But I would call her Elizabeth officially - even if she is only even known as Libby by you, at least it gives her the option in the future should she wish.

Eleanor is lovely too.

Don't like Liberty at all.

And Libby Eleanor Holmes reminds me of the school, Lady Eleanor Holles...

I like then both, but the initials MEH are not great tho.. (a bit "meh" for me?!)

zenoushka · 30/07/2010 17:38

I like Martha

freerangeeggs · 30/07/2010 19:13

I much prefer Martha. Libby is a bit too nicknamey and seems babyish as a result.

Martha Eleanor Holmes is lovely!

Beattiebow · 30/07/2010 19:14

Martha by miles.

Do like Elizabeth though, just not Libby.

Just13moreyearstogo · 30/07/2010 19:19

Martha

No contest.

proudfoot · 30/07/2010 21:27

Liberty is dreadful and I don't really like Libby either (definitely not as a full name)

So I would go for Martha
