Eliza?

Hi! 24 weeks pregnant and the front runner is Eliza. On our list is also:
Lily, Bonnie, Beth, Hazel, and Skye.

What do you vote for?

Possible middle names:
Rose
Madelyn
Margaret (maggie?)
Twila (it's a family name and wouldn't go with Eliza).

Favourite combo??

And I know I'm going to regret it, but any suggestions?? We've really struggled with girl names and found out it's highly likely to be a girl!!!

Dd is eliza lucy.
I also like lottie, tilly and violet as first names

PinkAvocado · 16/11/2018 21:28

Eliza Madelyn or Eliza Rose are lovely!

TeenTimesTwo · 16/11/2018 21:30

Elizabeth.
Then you can shorten it to Eliza or Beth and she has a proper regal name as well.

Elizabeth Rose or Elizabeth Victoria

Love Eliza! It has quite a different feel to your other names which I’mmuch less Keen on. Tonnes of Lilys. Beth & Hazel not bad though.
Middle names - I can’t count the number of young girls I know with middle Rose. Unless there is personal significance, it seems a bit unimaginative. Others okay.

Oh I love Eliza, it was one of my favourites when I was pregnant but DM put DC's dad off the name because she kept quoting My Fair Lady Grin, until then he hadn't figured that's where I'd picked the name from lol... it didn't matter anyway as DC turned out to be a boy Grin

I think Eliza Rose sounds beautiful btw, but then most names seem to suit so well with Rose as a middle name

ZebraKid71 · 16/11/2018 21:41

Very popular in my area at the moment, but a lovely name. I like Eliza Madelyn.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 16/11/2018 21:41

Eliza Madelyn or Eliza Skye

FrederickCreeding · 16/11/2018 21:42

Love the name Eliza!

Eliza Rose is lovely

ReginaPhalange89 · 16/11/2018 21:43

I really like Eliza ! With your middle names I like Eliza Maggie (not Margaret) , sounds pretty cool!

Bonnie is cool too. Not as keen on the others in comparison but they're all nice enough names

wineandcatsandlego · 16/11/2018 21:43

I love Eliza Madelyn/prefer the spelling Madeleine. Hazel is a favourite of mine but there is an..... odd member of my family called Hazel so is sadly a no no for me if I have a girl

Shadow1986 · 16/11/2018 21:43

Was my girls name when I was last pregnant, but I had a boy! Probably a good thing as my dd is called Eva and it’s probably a bit too similar in hindsight! Love the name.

CrookedMe · 16/11/2018 21:45

Eliza Madelyn is gorgeous.

Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbant Assay. Hope you don't know any biologists.

Of your first name options I like Hazel. But if you like Eliza and Beth go for Elizabeth. I like Twila though, what is the story behind that name? Everyone needs an unusual family name, gives you a good dinner party story.

PodgeBod · 16/11/2018 21:49

Eliza is beautiful, I like it with Rose or Madelyn.

physicskate · 16/11/2018 21:55

Twila was my great aunt. Quite the character by all accounts. She taught men how to fly bombers in ww2. Died from a burst appendix in 1947, unfortunately. She was in her 30s. No idea where my great grandmother got the name from though!!

My sister's middle name too.

Dd (nearly 2) is Eliza Grace. It is a reasonably popular name but we haven'5 encountered any others yet in our area or at our older DS' school.

littlemisscomper · 16/11/2018 21:59

I really like Elizabeth Rose. Personally I prefer Beth as a shortened version but there's 100 different choices so for that reason it's a great name, you can see what she 'feels' like.

Please avoid 'Eliza Skye', it's just too similar to 'Isle of Skye'.

patsywineeyedwillie · 16/11/2018 22:08

Love the name Eliza. Also like Elisa, Evelyn, Erica.

CountFosco · 16/11/2018 22:13

Definitely go with Twila then, fab name, fab story!

bridgetreilly · 17/11/2018 09:17

Eliza Margaret.

L0kiWh0 · 17/11/2018 09:33

Eliza is beautiful. I had a great aunt Eliza, she lived til 109 and was the life and soul of any room she was in.

Twila is unusual, and the family history is very interesting and would inspire me to use it.

(There’s a character in the Monster High series called Twila so it could be familiar to people who are aware of it, which may be comforting, if you see what I mean)

L0kiWh0 · 17/11/2018 09:34

My mistake, the character is Twyla, but the point still stands.

AliciaMayEmory · 17/11/2018 09:37

I love the name Eliza. Goes well with any of your list of middle names, but I do love Eliza Rose.

How do you pronounce Twila? It's a great story about your great aunt and I think it would be fine with Eliza.

Icklepup · 17/11/2018 10:43

Eliza Rose

Astronica · 17/11/2018 10:55

My favourite is Eliza. I really like Eliza Maggie.

Next choices from your list are Bonnie and Skye. (Bonnie Margaret, Skye Margaret)
