What does her name get shortened to? I'm hoping to avoid the ubiquitous 'Ellie'....

I know a Heloise who is known as this by everyone but very close family who call her Wheezy! I love this name, though, all of the spellings. Very beautiful.

The only Eloise I've met was called Ellie by her close family and Eloise by everyone else.

OlennasWimple · 10/06/2016 16:41

It isn't

EarthboundMisfit · 10/06/2016 16:42

I know one, she's 6 and its not shortened.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 10/06/2016 16:43

Louie if anything, but usually her full name.

Enkopkaffetak · 10/06/2016 19:58

I know a Heloise who is known as Elly to most

I have a Eloisa she is known as Eloisa to everyone never shortened However many do try to call her eloise much to her annoyance.

MrsHathaway · 10/06/2016 20:11

The one we know is always Eloise too.

GetAHaircutCarl · 10/06/2016 20:14

I know one who doesn't get shortened and one who goes by Lulu.

BookTart · 10/06/2016 20:16

I know a 2 year old Eloise and I've never heard her called anything but Ellie.

IslaSinga · 10/06/2016 20:20

I know two - both are known as Eloise.

WanderingTrolley1 · 10/06/2016 20:22

Ellie.

BastardGoDarkly · 10/06/2016 20:23

Mines 5 and nobody shortens it yet. What annoys me though, is that her name is El-o-ise, but people call her el-ou-ise.

KathyBeale · 10/06/2016 20:25

My son would have been Eloise if he had been a girl. We discussed shortening to Ellie or Lola. I think it's a lovely name.

maggiethemagpie · 18/06/2016 10:44

Ellie. Sorry.

finnishbiscuiteater · 18/06/2016 10:47

Dammit. I'll be singing that song all day now...

Elizabeth09 · 29/06/2016 23:10

The one I know gets called El (Elle).

bloodynoris · 29/06/2016 23:11

We shorten my cousin's name to Ellie.

tellmeofthetime · 29/06/2016 23:11

A three year old, not shortened

Sinkingfeeling · 29/06/2016 23:16

I have an Eloise. I don't mind (and she doesn't mind either) if her name is shortened to Ellie, but it's very annoying when people spell it 'Elouise'. Confused
