Eleanor ??? (in need of a nice middle name, please)

[pao95]

Hi ya all

My baby will be called Eleanor (family name Biggin) and I need a middle name that goes well with both of them. I like how Eleanor and Biggin sound well together and I am worried a lame middle name would ruin everything.I don't mind an old fashioned/ modern name as long as it sounds great with the rest. Any ideas?

Claire springs to mind for me! I think it needs to be a fairly short name

Not Eleanor Claire! That's my name and you forever get Eclair jokes

Eleanor Lily?

I've known two nice girls called Eleanor Grace so that was my first thought, but I also love the suggestion of Eleanor Mary.

I am Eleanor Jane (thank you, parents of good taste in the early 70s!) but I think Eleanor Mary is lovely too.

Ooh, I like Eleanor lily. Eleanor Mary also good

For some reason Mary makes a good link between Eleanor and Biggins...

If I'd had a DD instead of DSs she'd have been Eleanor May.

DD is Eleanor Roisin (which is Rose in Irish, DSIL is Roisin and my greatgrandmother was Rose so it has family connections).

I have an Eleanor Lilly.

Eleanor Kate

My daughter is Eleanor Anwen though for my own childish amusement I once convinced her her middle name was Handbasket.

Love Delaney!

Suneva
Piper
Tippi
Greta
Gloria
Athena
Delphine
Serendipity
Bayhati

Rose?

Rose is a nice name, though I am not sure about the association EleaNOR- ROse.

Not too keen on names inspired by popular TV shows/movies. :/

I think Eleanor Jane is lovely.

How about Eleanor Joy?

Eleanor Iris

Of the names suggested, I really like Eleanor Jean, sounds lovely.

@romeyroo: Did you mean Jane?

No, on the first page a poster suggested Eleanor Jean, which I really like.
But I like all the J sounds after Eleanor; Eleanor Joy or Jane are also nice, but to me, there is something about Eleanor Jean which is quite black and white movie star-like, I don't know. Eleanor Jane is more girlish to me.

But both are good

I don't remember seeing Eleanor Jean on the first page, so that's why I thought you meant Jane. :)

I keep seeing the initials E.D.B. or E.L.B. It seems my mind is set on finding a middle name which starts with a D or a L though it doesn't look like there are many options.

I am Eleanor Kay

I like having 3 syllables followed by 1 syllable.

I also loooove Eleanor!
Would second Eleanor Rose and Eleanor Ruth and Eleanor Elizabeth
How about also:
Eleanor Marjorie
Eleanor Esther
Eleanor Harriet
Eleanor Vera
Eleanor Theresa

Oh, in terms of D or L:
Denise (maybe too 80s?)
Dominique
Debra
Desdemona (maybe too much?)
Louise
Louisa
Leontine
Lilith
Loretta (too blues-y?)
Lorraine (too 70s maybe?)
