Eloise or Eloise? (or other suggestions)

[TangfasticMrFoxalastic]

We like the name, but can't decide on the spelling :)

Potential middle names are Violet or Grace.

Other suggestions welcome, though nothing beginning with 'J'

[TangfasticMrFoxalastic]

Thanks for all the opinions and suggestions, I just wanted to give an update.

She is officially Eloise Violet

[HoneyDragon]

*precious, not previous

[HoneyDragon]

My Mil is the only person in the history of EVER, who may call me Ellie. She's earned the right and its done as an affectionate tease.

Anyone else has only ever tried to call me Ellie once.

Oddly enough, the other Eloise's I have met are equally as previous about their names


I am curious to know how old madmay is. I don't meet many grown up Eloise's.

Ha Ha, Honeydragon - I take it you've met my Eloise then .

Of all the Eloises I have ever met (6 in total - I'm a teacher, 15 years of teaching). One has been called Ellie, one is sometimes called Ella and the rest are strictly Eloise with no other nickname at all.

[DizzyPurple]

I like Eloise Violet too. Sounds great!

[HoneyDragon]

Eloise does NOT get shortened to Ellie, as the average Eloise comes with a highly efficient glare of death.

[minipie]

I do think a one syllable mn works best (unless you have a one syllable surname) but so many are overused at the moment. How about

Eloise Fleur
Eloise Blythe
Eloise Ruth
Eloise Anne (I bet Ann or Anne will be the next Rose/May of middle names though)
Eloise Faye
Eloise Beth

Eloise - this my my DDs middle name. I love it.

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

throw not thrown!

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

I prefer Violet to Grace and Eloise to be honest.

However I'll also thrown Elise into the mix because I think that is pretty.

Out the names you have said I think Eloise Grace sounds better than Eloise Violet even if I don't prefer it.

[madmayday]

I'm an Eloise Anne, which depending on your surname, flows pretty well!

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

I prefer Violet

Eloise will inevitably be shortened to Ellie, which is rather popular

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

Eloise

[noodlebum]

Eloise! Violet is a nice middle name.

[Frikadellen]

Another preferring for Eloise But will just throw in DD2's name of Eloisa just to stir a bit :)

Eloisa Violet is gorgeous imo

[TangfasticMrFoxalastic]

Thanks there are some really good points, the important ones being you all agree with my spelling

I'm leaning more towards Violet tbh. I'm due next Monday, so not long now I suspect :)

[AberdeenAngusina]

I think Eloise Violet flows beautifully. Perhaps it's an accent thing, because I'm baffled by comments that it sounds awkward. I have a Scottish accent, and Eloise Violet sounds lovely.

Eloise Grace doesn't sound quite so good to me because of the repeated "s" sound at the end of each name.

[WeAreSeven]

Well, thank God for that. I kept looking from Eloise to Eloise trying to spot the difference and wondered if I was developing late-onset dyslexia!

I had never seen or heard of Elouise before. Just seems wrong.

[ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee]

I think, out of the two, Grace is much nicer with Eloise (it has to be that spelling). But I do like Faith Hope etc instead. Definitely not Violet - it doesn't run on right.

[ems1910]

No u, just Eloise. Definitely with Violet as a middle name.

[HoneyDragon]

Thumbwitch has it spot on.

[MissCalamity]

Oooh, I love Eloise. Definitely top girls name for DC2, we'd have the middle name as Catherine as it's my mum & sister's middle name.
My middle name is Louise, that wouldn't go down well!

[zippey]

Have you thought about Louise?

[sunnybobs]

What about Elodie? Also lovely & slightly more unusual at the moment
