Middle name for Eleanor?

[MadMonkeys]

We can't use Rose, otherwise that would have been a contender. Our surname is two syllable, starting with T. Any suggestions? I think a one syllable mn might work best, but I'm fairly open minded about it as I can't think of many. Obviously anything starting with A is out...

Some possibles are:

Jane
Phoebe
Rachael (too much ae/ea when paired with Eleanor?)
Lois

My mother is Eleanor Sarah, DD id First name then Eleanor Mary.

Catherine
Susan
Jasmine
Juliet

Faye, Kate, Eve, Dawn, Rae

I agree something short and punchy sounds best with a 3 sylllable first and 2 syllable surname

May
Lucy
Lauren
Holly
Kate

Louise
Grace
Marie
Jade
Mae

My name is Eleanor and I have a one syllable middle name, which I think works well with a three syllable first name. Mine is Kay but don't use that as it'll freak me out . Or if you do don't tell us.

before i opened up the thread I was already thinking of Jane

Def Jane. Eleanor Jane sounds lovely.

DD's is Anne. But only because that is my middle name and my mum's. Jane is best IMO.

Grace. I did think Jane when I first saw it but maybe go for something prettier?

Jayne/Jane
Grace
May
Kate
Suzanne
Lily

Everyone has their own preferences but what I will say is that when we were choosing names for our DDs, two of the main things I personally was eager to avoid with middle names were:

Initials can form a word or a sound:
As OP's surname starts with a "T" and the first name is going to be Eleanor, anything starting with an "A" would be out immediately (E.A.T.)

Single syllable middle name:
I know lots of people have perfectly nice single-syllable middle names, and I know it's a really picky point, but I find that a single-syllable name runs the risk of being mistaken as a "hyphenated" name (eg/ Eleanor-Jane).

I know an Eleanor Mary think that's lovely!

It sounds lovely with May. Depending on your surname Lynn might be nice.
