These are our girls’ name ideas... Grace, Eleanor, April or Nora.

With proposed middle names...
Grace Elizabeth
Eleanor Grace
April Elizabeth
Nora Grace

Favourites? I’m torn between classic but quite popular and more unusual and unique...

I like Grace and April.

Aprilmightbemynewname · 01/05/2018 20:59

April Grace

dementedma · 01/05/2018 20:59

like them all except April

DramaAlpaca · 01/05/2018 21:01

Eleanor Grace or Grace Elizabeth are fine.

I'm not fond of April & I really dislike Nora, it's an ugly sound to me. Sorry.

WitchesGlove · 01/05/2018 21:04

April is nice and unusual

isawahatonce · 01/05/2018 21:05

April is my favourite, it's really pretty, I don't like the others as much but probably because I associate them with people.

allthingsred · 01/05/2018 21:05

I have a Grace but imo it's become too popular now.
I love Nora (I wanted this for my ds2 but oh said no way) also Eleanor is a beautiful name.

Moneyissue2 · 01/05/2018 21:07

Nora grace definitely

AppleKatie · 01/05/2018 21:08

Eleanor Grace NN Nora.

KingHenrysCodpiece · 01/05/2018 21:10

Eleanor Grace!

Ginorchoc · 01/05/2018 21:11

Elizabeth as a first name is beautiful.

NeedAGoodBook · 01/05/2018 21:13

I like the vibe of April. It's fresh and vivacious, but I don't like that it starts with Ape! I considered it for my own daughter and ruled it out!

I like Eleanor and Grace but Nora is a bit bland.

IdblowJonSnow · 01/05/2018 21:14

I like them All! Nora is cute and April sounds very fresh. The other two names I have for my daughter's Smile great taste op!

RedDwarves · 01/05/2018 21:14

Grace Elizabeth.

Grace Eleanor would be lovely too.

HeyDolly · 01/05/2018 21:18

April is my favourite and Nora would be my least favourite. Though I like Eleanora if you would consider combining Eleanor and Nora.

AnyaMoondial · 01/05/2018 21:24

April is my favourite.

I actually know a grace Elizabeth and I don't know very many little ones so maybe there are millions of them!

Sophronia · 01/05/2018 21:25

Nora Grace. You could also have Eleanor Grace and shorten it to Nora.

gwen25 · 01/05/2018 21:34

Eleanor Grace is fabulous!

DancingHipposOnAcid · 01/05/2018 21:39

Nora is my Mum's name. She hates it! She made me promise not to name any of my DC after her Grin

HairyToity · 01/05/2018 21:40

Grace or Eleanor

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 01/05/2018 21:40

Eleanor Elizabeth.

Eleanor Grace does sound lovely, but Grace has become a generic middle name - this generation's Louise.

How about Leonora?

Nora's a bit hipster IMO. Travels well, though.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/05/2018 21:48

April Elizabeth.

Singlenotsingle · 01/05/2018 21:49

Nora Bone Shock

tigercub50 · 01/05/2018 21:51

April Elizabeth or Eleanor Grace

I have a "month" name. I was not born in the month I was named after. Don't do that. Seriously, don't! I spent the first 12 years of my life having to explain that my DOB was correct and my birthday was not in another month (I changed school a lot, plus military family so many many forms).
