Was set on Flora, but just saw Ellen??

[emmyloo2]

DH and I had locked in Flora for DD due in 9 weeks. However, stupidly I came back to Baby Names and saw someone asking for a sibling name for Ellen and it struck me how simple, classic and elegant Ellen was. I think DH will kill me for raising another option as we have been going around and around in circles and had finally decided on Flora (with Florence as a possible substitute).

DS is George and I want something traditional, not popular and elegant. And short!

So does Flora meet that? What about Ellen?

Thanks!

I love Ellen. It's my gran's name and my sister and daughters middle name. It's elegant and timeless.

Back again OP?

Ellen is lovely but quite a few Ellies around... Nell is a popular MN suggestion lately.

I still love Flora.

I wonder if you will see her face when she is born and think, Aha! and her name will come to you regardless of what you ponder here.

Ellen could be Ellie - of which there are tons. Flora is much more special.

Florence is stunning too. Theres also Floris, Fern.
