Two girls names to choose from

[SteffGreen1812]

Hello! I’m due a baby girl in a few months and me and DP are torn between two names. We both love
Eleanor (the shortened version we would use is Nell) or
Cecelia (shortened to Cece)

The middle name would probably be either Victoria for my sister or Iris for DP nan

We already have a DS named Alfred who we call Fred but I’m not concerned if the names match

What are people’s opinions? Especially with the middle names and are there any other names people would suggest?

Cecelia

I like both.

Only thing that jumped out is I would avoid personally, initials CV both as in job hunting and as in corona virus.

Eleanor Iris Victoria

That's a beautiful combo and two middle names are cool, imo.

Cecelia is beautiful and very underused

Both are beautiful! Both shorten in a sweet way and the full version is dignified for an adult. You can't go wrong

I love both those names!

Eleanor Iris Victoria.
Love Nell!

Eleanor Iris gets my vote

They're both lovely names.

Personally I like Eleanor if pronounced ELL-en-a, not Ell-an-OR.

Cecilia is beautiful - with this spelling rather than Cecelia.

I wanted a Celia Jai so my vote is for Cecelia.
I’ve known a couple of Girls called Eleanor, they frequently had ‘Eleanor Rigby....’ sang at them which they found annoying.

Cecilia Nell would be a nice combination.

Cecelia is lovely and much less used than Eleanor

Cecilia - love the nn Cece! Not keen on Eleanor but like Nell.

Eleanor and all its derivatives.

Nell is so lovely!
I also love Cecilia, but I’m not mad on Cece x

Slightly prefer Cecelia, but I think Eleanor/Nell goes better with Fred.

I love Cecelia but for some reason I find Cece makes me cringe. No idea why!
My cousin has a Charlotte who she calls Char Char and I cringe at that too!

Eleanor is beautiful, I would choose Eleanor Iris. Not keen on Cece, I also think it's a bit cringy. I like Nell and it goes well with Fred.

I like both, but Eleanor Iris is really really lovely!

Cecilia - that spelling.

Spelling it Cecelia looks totally wrong, as if you heard the name and liked it but didn't know how to spell it. I know it's an accepted variant of Cecilia but it just doesn't look right.

Definitely Eleanor! Much nicer meaning than Cecelia.

I prefer Cecilia to Cecelia but I think I prefer Eleanor to either.

In order I like:
Eleanor Iris
Eleanor Victoria
Cecilia Iris

I think Eleanor Victoria is too much of a mouthful.

Sorry that last was meant to say Cecilia Victoria is too much of a mouthful. Both -ia endings.

Eleanor as all I can hear is the song for Cecilia.

Cecilia spelt that way. Iris is awful. It's part of the eye. Eleanor is plain and uninteresting! I like Cece as a nickname.
