Eleanor, Elizabeth and .........

We called our first two Eleanor and Elizabeth. We did think about both their names starting with El but we loved them, so we went with them despite our reservations. Now I love Eloise for our third! Shall we do it or is it ridiculous? And if we don't will the third feel left out of the El gang?

You'd be a bit confused if they (or their friends) decided to call them all Elle.

Eloise is very pretty. It could be seen as slightly odd but if it works for you then go for it! People find something to comment on whatever you do.

My suggestion was going to be Evelyn!

Eloise is pretty but as stated above will Eleanor & Eloise both be known as Elle / Ellie ? Which could get confusing.
Though I suppose you could have Nell, Liz & Ellie.

I have the same initials as my sis. When she had her purse pinched and cancelled her cards, the bank cancelled all of mine too. Total pain in the behind. You could claim some sort of Austen theme - Marianne, Lydia, Kitty.....

I would choose another classic - Catherine, Anna, Alexandra, Helena, Sophia ...
