I know a baby Elodie! I have a dd with an el... Name but don't think its always the case that it gets shortened to Ellie. However there are a lot of el starting names!

I do think Louisa is a nicer name than the ones on your list but sounds v similar to Eloise.

I don't like Elodie at all.

I know an Eloise and no its never shortened

BellMcEnd · 31/07/2014 17:17

I know one Eloise and I've never heard it being shortened

2cats2many · 31/07/2014 17:28

The Eloise that I know is called Elli for short.

I know an Eloise and her parents call her Elle, as does everyone else.

WhispersOfWickedness · 31/07/2014 17:38

Yes, I know a 15yo Eloise who is known as Ella Smile

I love Elodie!

Floop · 31/07/2014 17:41

I know a Eloise. She is 20 and it is never shortened.

peppinagiro · 01/08/2014 21:28

I have an Elodie. Never gets shortened to Ellie, but sometimes to Dee Dee by little toddler friends.

MaxsMummy2012 · 01/08/2014 21:30

I know a 9 year old Eloise and it's never been shortened.

heavenhelpus · 01/08/2014 21:31

I have one.

Shortened to Ellie or Lolly.

sanityawol · 01/08/2014 21:35

DD (13) has a good friend Eloise who is known as (and calls herself) Weez.

todayiamfat · 01/08/2014 21:47

I was about to say weeze!

I know a couple of Eloises and a baby Elodie. Inly one of the Eloises is shortened to Ellie (and I was surprised her name was Eloise when I found out. I wouldn't have shortened a quite short name iyswim).

Castlelough · 02/08/2014 09:18

I taught a little Eloise. At 6 years of age she was always known as Eloise. It was my first experience of the name and beautiful on her!

WanderingTrolley1 · 02/08/2014 09:23

I know an Eloise. It is shortened to Ellie.

Blueberrybaby · 02/08/2014 10:13

I know/have known two Eloise's. One is shortened, the other isn't. I think it largely depends on the child themselves as to whether they want their own name shortened or not, and also the parents can control it to a certain extent in the beginning. My name is a classic - think along the lines of Rebecca, and I have always shortened it to Becky, because I preferred it that way - I hated the long version. It's stuck now, but it was largely to do with the fact that, that is how I chose to introduce myself.

Chopsypie · 02/08/2014 10:16

My cousin is 15 and called Eloise. It's never shortened

MsJupiter · 02/08/2014 10:22

I know a grown up Eloise who as a teen was known as Ello or Eliose.

AuditAngel · 02/08/2014 10:23

I have a friend called Eloise (in her 40's), never heard it shortened.

My DD2 is Luisa (said like Louisa, but with an "s" sound rather than a "z" sound). She calls herself "weesa", but she's only 3

babyblabber · 02/08/2014 12:28

thanks girls. mixed results there!

elodie is my favourite but it is quite long so might get shortened and i'm not a fan of elle/ellie/ella etc. DH is the main culprit, despite all my efforts picking a name with no possible nickname for DS, DH has made up a totally random one and insists on using it!!!

I know an Eloise, it's shortened to Ello. Which is quite fun...

MsAspreyDiamonds · 03/08/2014 22:53

I know an Eloise and it doesnt get shortened. A lovely and timeless name.

mummybare · 03/08/2014 22:57

I know a little Eloisa, known as Lulu.

clary · 03/08/2014 23:06

I know an Eloise who is usually Ellie (11yo); also another who is always her full name (13yo).
