Eleanor and ...

[Mysecretumbrella]

We already have DD Eleanor (which we have persisted in pronouncing EleaNOR despite nobody else doing so... but that's a whole other thread).

Now expecting DC2 and would love some inspiration for names. I'll stuck to girls for now even though we have no idea of sex yet.

I love Charlotte but DH not keen. Also love Olivia. Like Catherine but fear that will be over-used atm and also like Elizabeth but not keen on the alliteration.

So can any of you clever name gurus come up with anything similar?

Isla
Iris
Martha
Alice
Isobel

Anthony
James
Jacob
Frederick
Adam

Amelia

Madeleine

Thanks!

Like Martha and Madeleine a lot but close friends have used them recently.

Already have Amelia and Isobel in extended family.

Not so keen on "shorter" names like Isla.

Of the boys' names. I like Frederick the best, in fact love it and it has a family connection too. Will suggest it to DH tonight!

I love Eleanor with Olivia, but it is top of the chart currently.

I can only think of Alexandra or Anabel that haven't been said yet.

Jennifer?
Josephine?
Margot?

Marianne

How else would you pronounce Eleanor? Elena??

Oh, lots to consider there, thanks! Nit sure any really grab me though... I do like Harriet but not really any of the others. Picky I know! I do like Olivia and need to decide whether it being top of popularity list is an issue for me.

Thanks so much everyone!

Another strong queenly name would be good - several have already been mentioned, but there's also Matilda, Margaret and Caroline.

Marianne
Susan
Jane
Lydia
Mary

Harriet is an ugly sound.. huh arry utt. terrible.

What about Juliet?

I seem to like the same names as you - Eleanor was on my list, with Olivia, Sophia, Isobel, Elizabeth, Lydia. If you like Catherine - you could try Kathryn as an alternative spelling with nn Kate/Katie as a child. I do like Eleanor and Olivia as sibling names though.

Constance
Claudia
Cerys
Clarice

Your thread title made me think Abigail. No idea why, but worth a thought?

We have an Imogen Hope and the alternative for her was Eleanor Grace - decision made during elective section in conversation with doctor assisting female surgeon!
