I think we have found our girl names, just thought I'd run it by the nest of vipers gauntlet to make sure I am not making a terrible hormonal mistake.
Eleanor (which is DP's grandmother's name), I like it because it has scope for nns Ellie,Ella,Lea,Leanor,Nora,... as well as being nice in it's full form and having a family connection.
Middle name would be Roisin which is also the name of a family member.

Both names sound lovely together.

squoosh · 27/01/2014 14:34

I’ve always disliked this name, it sounds harsh to me. But that’s just my opinion, it’s perfectly sensible name just doesn't appeal to me.

Nora is lovely though.

squoosh · 27/01/2014 14:34

Roisín is lovely, shame that can't be the first name.

UriGeller · 27/01/2014 14:36

Eleanor is such a beautiful name. You done good Grin

qazxc · 20/02/2014 22:41

Well gender scan is in and they reckon there are no boy bits and that we are therefore team pink. So Eleanor Roisin it is! Grin

Ah it's a lovely name! Can I just say though it is certainly NOT unusual, at least not where I live - there are millions or Eleanor's and Ellie's!

Davidhasselhoffstoecheese · 20/02/2014 23:38

Best nn is nell though

Daisyjane12 · 21/02/2014 01:39

What's wrong with ellie as a name?

NadiaWadia · 21/02/2014 05:27

Nothing wrong with Ellie, just there are gazillions of them around! Probably because it can also be short for 'Ella' and maybe other names.

rebecklet · 21/02/2014 14:02

Beautiful - Eleanor Rose is our number one choice, so of course I would love it!

DramaAlpaca · 21/02/2014 14:23

Eleanor Roisin is gorgeous.

Thurlow · 21/02/2014 14:28

Eleanor is beautiful
