Hi all we've managed to get it down to 3 names now thanks to the help of you:)
Once she finally decides to make an appearance she'll either be:

Fallon Nicola
Elise Nicola
Everly Nicola

Which do people prefer? What nickname could you give her if we went with Elise? Everly would be Evie and Fallon not sure at all any help would be grateful x

Elise is fine. The other two are hideous.

jazzyjenbo · 26/09/2014 09:00

They are all lovely.. I would wait and see which suits her best now, it wont b long.
If i was made to choose i think Fallon nicola flows better but i like elise aswell. Not keen on everly but go with what you like. Good luck, let us know her name when she arrives.

Else is the only one I have heard of but I actually think Everly sounds like a lovely name, it has all the good bits of Beverly but not the ugly B. I don't think Evie sounds like a natural nickname of Everly as they have completely different E sounds unless I am pronouncing it wrong, Ever isn't the worst nickname though.

Don't like Fallon at all, I would guess it was a boys name.

Elsie?

BananaToast · 26/09/2014 09:11

Fallon makes me think felon. Like Elise, not sure on Everly at all.

BananaToast · 26/09/2014 09:11

And nickname wise for Elise I would use Elle.

nickiw123 · 26/09/2014 09:16

Its the OH thats pushing for Fallon, but im not sure if it sounds abit tom-boyish? if that makes any sense? I want something girlier really but now i dont know if Elise and Everly fit that :/ x

I'm obviously going to suggest Everly...again! Wink Evie as the nickname would be great. Lissey would be a nice nickname for Elise. Fallon is lovely, too, but I can't think of a nickname. You might find yourself saying "Falley" (like 'valley') out of cuteness but wouldn't really be a proper nickname. I think the above suggestion is good...have a good look at her and see which one feels right! Good luck!

wantacatplease · 26/09/2014 09:43

When I pronounce Evie I say "Eh-vee" not "Ee-vee" which then makes the same Eh sound like Everly, so could work as a nickname like that.

nickiw123 · 26/09/2014 10:01

good thinking i like Evie pronounced eh-vee actually! Completely different then, i think Everly is becoming my favourite! Which spelling do you prefer?
Everly
Everley
Everlie/Everleigh
not sure if ive made some of them up! lol x

With Nicola as the middle name I think:

Everly Nicola
Everley Nicola

Actually the 2nd one looks nice!

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 26/09/2014 11:04

My daughter is Evelyn and we call her Evie (to rhyme with heavy, not eee- vee) I love it apparently it's the French pronunciation.

I would use the spelling Everley.

minkah · 26/09/2014 11:07

Elise. Definitely!

Everly brothers.

Fallon the floor.

Yes, go with Elise. Diminutive is Elly.

nickiw123 · 26/09/2014 11:23

Yes im liking it the Everley spelling more and more now i think about it! And i think ive fallen for that name over the others.... now just to get the OH to agree thats THE one and not Fallon!
We were considering Evelyn too but OH preferred Everley.

wantacatplease · 26/09/2014 11:37

Everley Nicola. Beautiful. Smile

Sophronia · 26/09/2014 12:03

Elise. Everly reminds me of the Everly Brothers.

cherrybombxo · 26/09/2014 12:06

Elise.

Fallon makes me think of Jimmy Fallon, who is a wanker Grin

wantacatplease · 26/09/2014 12:19

Oi, nothing wrong with The Everly Brothers who, by the way, aren't even around anymore!

I kinda agree with the Jimmy Fallon thing, though.

pilates · 26/09/2014 12:26

Elise is very pretty and the other two are awful.

nickiw123 · 26/09/2014 13:01

to be honest i didn't even know who the everly brothers were..i had to look them up! lol
Its definitely between Everley and Elise, think ive gone off Fallon completely now lol.

I know an Every whose folks regret the name as everyone keepos getting it wrong.

I named my DC something that had same pronunciation issues and changed it so would advise against for this reason.

Therefore I go with Elise.

burgatroyd · 26/09/2014 13:40

*Everly!

BikeRunSki · 26/09/2014 13:42

Elise nn Lissy

CarriMarie · 27/09/2014 11:45

Elise is my favourite, I think Elise Nicole flows slightly better. Elle would be a nice nn.
