Baby due any day, and DH has changed his mind on the name...

[bradybratpack]

So after thinking we'd settled on Eloise as a first name, DH now thinks that he prefers the name Annabel, and the discussions have started all over again... I'm too tired and hormonal to even think straight, so I'd love some MN wisdom to help us get this baby's name sorted once and for all!

Eloise Angelica Perry (DH's favourite combo if we choose Eloise)
Eloise Beatrice Perry
Eloise Annabel Perry (love this but as one name starts with an 'El' sound, and the other ends with 'El', is that a no-no?)
Eloise Annabella Perry
Eloise Rosa Perry
Eloise Aurelia Perry

Annabel Rosa Perry
Annabel Rosalie Perry
Annabel Grace Perry
Annabel Rose Perry
Annabel Tabitha Perry
(I don't LOVE any of the MN options listed with Annabel, so open to suggestions...)

Thank a lot on advance for your input...

I love Annabel! We are using Annabel if we have a girl (three months to go). Nickname will be Anna or Annie I think (because that kind of goes with the rest of our kids names). I don't like Eloise. I think it sounds like 'Hell Louise!' . Plus I'm not fond of the name Louise and I think the Elle sound at the start gets lost and all you can hear is the name Louise. Mumsnetters always love this name though so it must just be me.

So I'd go with Annabel and pair it with a really fantastic middle name. Depends what kind of feel you want? Fun; Annabel Poppy/Molly Classic; Annabel Elizabeth/Victoria/Charlotte; cool Annabel Fern/Coco? ok... running out of ideas. I do know an Annabel Iris and I think that is lovely. Good luck x

Eloise Annabel

The clock is ticking and we still haven't come to an agreement! DH keeps flip-flopping (he suggested Arabella last night and felt the full force of my 9 months' pregnant fury, ha!)

The shortlist is now as follows:

Eloise Beatrice Perry
Eloise Annabel Perry
Eloise Angelica Perry

Annabel Rosa Perry
Annabel Rose Perry
Annabel Seraphine Perry

Thoughts?

Not Eloise Beatrice

To EE sounds too close together.

Eeze and then Bee next to each other it is hard to say.

Two EE sounds....sodding auto correct.

I like Eloise Annabel the best .

Not that keen on eloise but love annabelle, my son would of been that if he wasn't a little boy. Love Annie, love Belle, love annabelle xx

Heloise for something a bit different?
Or Anneliese?

Could Angelica be the first name? I love it, and it's quite unusual. Angelica Eloise is gorgeous.

Angelica Eloise Perry

Annabel Seraphine Perry (it's lovely).

Not keen on Eloise or Rosa and Rose is a bit overused as a MN IMHO.

I prefer Annabel. Maybe see what she looks like before deciding finally? Maybe once she is here it will be more obvious!

I've never heard the name Eloise. How do you pronounce it?

It looks nice written down though.

El - Oh - Ease

I like Eloise but I think a lot of people will spell or pronounce it wrong, so it depends how much that would bother you.

Dd has an unusual name Btw and I don't mind that people struggle with how to say or spell it.

Eloise is lovely especially with Angelica. Have you thought about Eloise Fleur?
