Which combination?

34 replies

Hi all. I'm in love with Lisa or Eliza as a first name, Jane or Marie as a middle or double barrel first. Opinions on the order please? So could have -

Lisa-Marie (double barrelled)
Eliza Marie
Lisa Jane
Eliza Jane

Or just to throw another spanner, also love Maggie as a first name.

I know I've chosen NN as an actual name, which is a cardinal sin, but I love them without the full name, so I'm not going to consider Elizabeth then shortening it!

Fire away!

My friend had a dd called Liza - Jayne. .

DramaAlpaca · 10/04/2017 10:52

Eliza Jane is by far the nicest combination.

Mrsknackered · 10/04/2017 11:16

Agreed with Drama
I would feel a bit bad for a little baby called Lisa.

Mrsknackered · 10/04/2017 11:17

I do, however, love Maggie. But not sure I'd be confident enough to use it (Thatcher)

SuperSix77 · 10/04/2017 11:20

Love Maggie! And in the absence of a girl (I have 6 boys!!) I've called my new little pup Maggie. 🙄 Eliza Jane is a lovely combo.

Eliza Jane

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/04/2017 11:23

Lisa Jane.
Eliza Marie
Maggie Jane

Another vote for Eliza Jane. I really wouldn't double barrel, it's awful.

angelinheaven · 10/04/2017 12:44

Eliza Jane is beautiful, I wanted Eliza would go with that without a doubt x

passingthrough1 · 10/04/2017 13:04

Eliza is a beautiful name but Lisa I don't think is at all special.

Sophronia · 10/04/2017 13:05

Eliza Jane is lovely

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/04/2017 13:17

Lisa Marie is very pretty, or Eliza Jane.

Oysterbabe · 10/04/2017 13:29

Lisa Marie would always make me think of Lisa Marie Prestley.

Wolfiefan · 10/04/2017 13:36

Eliza Jane. Not double barrelled.

Brighteyes27 · 10/04/2017 13:40

Eliza Jane definitely

KanyeWesticle · 10/04/2017 14:04

Eliza Marie is my favourite

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 10/04/2017 17:38

Eliza Jane xx

ChippieFishieHorshie · 10/04/2017 17:42

Lisa Marie is beautiful. Liza/Lisa is just so short, crisp and pretty...

I also like Eliza Jane and Eliza Marie.

I personally don't like Maggie, it's too 'nickname-y'....

SumAndSubstance · 10/04/2017 19:06

Eliza Marie is my favourite. I also like Lisa-Marie, but do think it's very much connected with Lisa-Marie Presley, whereas Eliza Marie would feel more like her 'own name'.

greeeen · 10/04/2017 19:14

Eliza Jane

harderandharder2breathe · 10/04/2017 19:38

Eliza Jane

YoungYolandaYorgensen39 · 10/04/2017 19:40

Oh Eliza, Little Liza Jane...

Lovely!

Logolphin · 10/04/2017 19:56

Not Liza Marie (Presley)

Eliza Jane is lovely.

Love Maggie and Margot too.

kel1493 · 10/04/2017 19:59

Why so much dislike for double barrels names? My name is and I like it being different.

ChippieFishieHorshie · 10/04/2017 20:45

Kel

There are some I actually like (Anna-Katherina, Clara-Elisabeth, Marie-Louise etc). But it's a very 80ies thing where I'm from. And it sometimes feels as if the parents were... Unimaginative.
