I'm not sure how to pronounce the middle one! I love Ellen. Although I wonder if it would get annoying people calling her Helen... What about Elaine? I think that is such a pretty name. Could shorten to Elle/El :)

Elle

EllaHen · 12/08/2016 17:10

Elle for me. Just lovely.

kimlo · 12/08/2016 17:10

Ellen

AuntieStella · 12/08/2016 17:10

My preference order would be Eleni, Ellen, Elle

Sophronia · 12/08/2016 18:26

Ellen - classic and underused

Elle

Elle but not heard Elenie before and it's quite sweet.

Lilacpink40 · 12/08/2016 18:40

Elle

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 12/08/2016 19:06

I'd use Elenie on her BC. Then you can you use either of the 3.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 12/08/2016 19:12

Elle, beautiful!
I've never met or heard Eleni spoken but in my head it's 'el-AY-nee'? I like it.
I have a friend Ellen (Ell-un) but my mum has always said Ell-in which grates. I like it though!

Vixxfacee · 12/08/2016 19:13

Eleni

Loyly · 12/08/2016 19:16

Elenie (though I would use the traditional Eleni spelling). As others have said, that way you have all three name options in one.

bloomburger · 12/08/2016 19:19

None of them, every second kid is called a variation of Elle, Ella, Ellie, Ellen, just bloody confuses me now.

Stevefromstevenage · 12/08/2016 19:21

Elle

ineedamoreadultieradult · 12/08/2016 19:24

Elenie would been my favourite as it could be shortened to Elle but if you start with Elle you have no where to go with it if that makes sense. Really dislike Ellen it just sounds to me like Helen with a dropped h!

DerelictMyBalls · 12/08/2016 19:59

Elle. You'd have to put up with people mispronouncing it as 'Ellie', though.

Ellieboolou27 · 12/08/2016 20:01

Ellen, I have an Ellen and never met another one (she is 4) Smile

ToffeeForEveryone · 12/08/2016 20:02

Ellen

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 12/08/2016 20:11

Ellen. A lovely, classic name which, to be fair, the other two options could be nn for...
