Eloise is very pretty

Eloise.

I like Adelaide and Eloise. Alethea is ok but I'm not as keen.

Other suggestions:
Arianne, Adriana, Arielle, Adrielle, Adeline, Adele, Anastasia, Anoushka
Elodie, Elianne, Elina, Eliana, Elissa, Elisa, Elise, Eloisa, Elsa
Althea, Alyssa, Alicia, Alexa, Alexandra, Anika, Alina, Alayna, Aurora, Thea

Adelaide.

I really don't like Eloise. Alethea is okay, but I don't love it.

Alethia sounds like you have a lisp

RedDwarves · 06/05/2018 22:45

Eloise.

Alethea looks like a misspelling of Althea.

Adelaide reminds me of the city, which is nothing special.

I know an Alethea, I think it’s beautiful (Althea too). Not a fan of Adelaide, Eloise is pretty but I prefer Elodie or Elise.

Eloisedublin123 · 06/05/2018 22:48

Emmm....Eloise! (See user name🙈😂)

I like Althea (no e) - it means healing herb, apparently.

FriendlyOcelot · 06/05/2018 23:04

Eloise

chezmk1988 · 06/05/2018 23:05

Eloise

PatchworkElmer · 06/05/2018 23:06

Adelaide.

RoundaboutSnail · 06/05/2018 23:07

Eloise

jigsawpiece · 06/05/2018 23:10

Eloise for me out of those three.

Alethea sounds like "Alicia" with a lisp

Cosmoa · 06/05/2018 23:17

Eloise Smile

blairsey · 07/05/2018 05:48

Eloise by a mile. Elise, Elaina/Elena and Adeline are far prettier though imo.

LadyWithLapdog · 07/05/2018 05:58

Eloise
Adelaide -> Adelheid -> Heidi

Pixel99 · 07/05/2018 06:19

I like Eloise. Also Thea instead of Alethea.

17caterpillars1mouse · 07/05/2018 06:27

Adelaide affectionately nicknamed Laidey

Sophronia · 07/05/2018 06:54

Adelaide

starkid · 07/05/2018 06:59

I like Eloise, then Adelaide. Not Alethea.
