I think Eloise is a lovely name, nick name fine.😀

DramaAlpaca · 05/06/2017 17:39

Eloise is a lovely name.

Sophronia · 05/06/2017 17:57

Not keen, but I'm sure I'm in the minority.

Jooni · 05/06/2017 17:58

Lovely

I like Eloise but why not just name her Elle if that is what you want to call her?

I'm less keen on Elle but purely because it is so similar to Ella & Ellie and there seem to be masses of both born in the past 15 years or so

Lovely!

RuthB4 · 07/06/2017 09:35

Lovely! I probably wouldn't shorten it at all. It doesnt need shortening and Eloise is so much prettier than Elle.

Thatextrainch · 07/06/2017 09:57

Eloise is lovely but doesn't need shortening.

Bump!

Also in the minority I don't really like it.
I do like Heloise though.

I like it, but I'm not keen on Elle. Lulu?

grufallosfriend · 11/06/2017 15:43

I'm not so keen either and would not shorten to Elle.

ImADingleDangleScarecrow · 12/06/2017 10:13

I think Eloise is OK but I really dislike Elle/Ellie/Ella as a nn

Oly5 · 12/06/2017 11:02

Eloise is lovely but I dislike Elle. Why shorten it?

BikeRunSki · 12/06/2017 11:03

Love Eloise, dislike Elle

grufallosfriend · 12/06/2017 15:24

Elle means 'she' in French. And in German its pronounced Ell-eh and is a unit of measurement. Eloise on the other hand, is a beautiful name!
