Middle name for Eleanor

[TabithaTwitchet]

Wondering if anyone will come up with a great combination I haven't thought of!

Top runner at the moment is Eleanor Isobel, I like the cadence of it, but don't like how it makes a sentence (Eleanor is a bell), also close friends just had an Isabelle, so would prefer something different.

I like pretty "feminine" classic names, don't want anything beginning or ending in an "a" or schwa sound.

Eleanor Louise has a very fine ring to it

Also, think of what other names you'd use if you have another girl and make sure you don't use your other favourite names as a second name for this one coming along :)

I'm Eleanor Victoria Juliet (just known as Ellie though, and often there isn't enough space on forms for both middle names...), but I think Eleanor Grace and Eleanor Rose are absolutely beautiful. Personally I think depends on your surname and how all the names will sound together.

I agree with Grace, Rose and May.

But for 2 syllables:

Of the ones suggeted so far I like Eleanor Charlotte

Otherwise:
Eleanor Roseanne
Eleanor Sophie
Eleanor Nicole
Eleanor Isla
Eleanor Kathryn
Eleanor Georgia
Eleanor Jasmine

Classic Ideas:
Eleanor Hero
Eleanor Ophelia
Eleanor Bianca
Eleanor Odile
Eleanor Odette
Eleanor Giselle
Eleanor Cordelia
Eleanor Hermione

Eleanor Mary - my dd

Eleanor Grace
Eleanor Rose
Eleanor Mae
Eleanor Ruby

Agree that a short middle name sounds best

I agree with Hubba - of all the suggestions so far Eleanor Louise is the most pleasing - and the names somehow 'match' imo, they are pretty but not cutesy - they are 'dignified' names iyswim.

Rose, Mae and Grace - there should be an amnesty of ten years before they're allowed to be used again!!!

Right, we are now thinking of Eleanor Juliet(te) or Frances or Rosalie. And possibly may start considering Eleanor Lucie/Lucy. What does everyone think?

Louise is my name! (I agree it does flow nicely with Eleanor ).

Eleanor Frances is lovely, very elegant.

I think so too, Minipie. All of those possibilities have a lot going for them.

Eleanor Juliet for me, Eleanor Francis does sound very strong

I like Eleanor Frances. Very stylish and elegant.
Spooky that Louise is your name TT!

I like all of those!

We have Eleanor Rose Louise - both middle names from family members.

I love Eleanor Primrose...?

I have a 13 year old daughter and her name is Eleanor Rose it sometimes gets shortened to Ellie Rose which she likes. I do agree on the one syllable though, otherwise it can become quite a handful

This thread is from 2011. Little Eleanor will be about 6 years old, now

I am Eleanor Kate and have always loved my middle name, plus it's quite underused these days

Lydia. My grandma's middle name.

How does this happen? And, why didn't op come back!?

Eleanor Sophia

Eleanor Ruby.

Eleanor Lucy?

We have an Eleanor Rae. We came up with it in recovery as Eleanor was set in stone for months but we were convinced baby was a boy and we had no girl middle name. Eleanor means 'light' so I said 'Ray' then OH found the feminine spelling 'Rae'. Apparently it's over-used but I had never come across it before and it flows really nicely so I'm happy.

Eleanor Robyn
Eleanor Rae
Eleanor Macie

Eleanor Felicity, Eleanor Charlotte or Eleanor Dorothy
