hi all

finally we have decided our future daughter's name is going to be eloise.. i love it, feminine enough without being too saccharine! any opinions?

i am stuck for a middle name though, my surname is one syllabel and i cannot seem to find something that goes with eloise...

thanks :)

I love it - bit biased though as it's dd3's name. She's Eloise Beatrice.

LeakMyWiki · 22/12/2010 21:29

I love the books too.

jeremycackson · 22/12/2010 21:31

I have one and really really love it too.

Ours is Eloise Madeleine.

Desiderata · 22/12/2010 21:34

In an ideal world, we'd need your surname so it would all scan.

I don't know why, but I'm quite liking Reece, or something along those lines.

Love that name, always wanted to be her living in the Plaza with nanny, weenie and skiperdee wreaking havoc :)

swanandduck · 22/12/2010 21:53

Eloise Jane
Eloise May
Eloise Anne

oooh thanks ladies, glad you all like it. i think it is beautiful, not too common but not too rare either..

i love eloise madeline, that was our other choice as a name but being a mandy having both a maddy and mandy in one family sounded far too confusing!

also mary, that is my mum's middle name.. very much a possibility too!

i used to get called may and my middle name is jane so not over keen on those. anne i do like though.. in fact you have all given me so many options i hadnt thought of i am going to have to have a chat with my husband and twist his arm into one of these.

thanks i will report back!

its such a yummy name though.. only 7 weeks to go, so excited! my little boy is called benjamin and i think the names go well together!

The daughter I never had would have been eloise alexandra. I never had a 2nd favourite so god knows what would have happened if I had 2 girls not boys

lucky1979 · 23/12/2010 22:28

I have an Eloise Charlotte, which (obviously) I love :)

jellybeans · 24/12/2010 11:23

Middle name ideas..

Hope

Nicole
Matilda
Sabina

threefeethighandrising · 25/12/2010 23:08

Eloise Madeline is lovely.

I also really like Eloise Mary, I think it's really nice to have a name that means something.

Lonnie · 27/12/2010 00:53

Eloise Jacqueline

it suits longer middle names imo its a beautiful name.

oldandgreynow · 27/12/2010 12:18

I think it needs a shorter middle name as ithas 3 syllables.How many syllables has your surname?

TheOriginalNutcracker · 27/12/2010 12:23

I wanted Eloise for dd2's first name. She would then have been Eloise Olivia.

As it is xp got his way and she is Chloe Eloise instead.
