Thoughts on Eloise Jean

Hi all,
So me and my partner are trying to think of a name for a baby girl and I really like the name Eloise (we were originally set on Olivia which I also love but the popularity puts me off a bit) and as a middle name, we were thinking Jean as this is my partner's nans name. What do you all think of Eloise Jean? Honest thoughts please, we won't be offended.

I think it's lovely. Jean is a great choice of middle name. It's cropping up more frequently on here.

Very cool name, I like it!

JaJaDingDong · 26/10/2020 13:32

Not keen on Eloïse, but that's just me. I like Jean.

Lovely name - pretty.

Yennefer19 · 26/10/2020 13:55

I like Elouise not that keen on Jean. If you like Olivia what about Elouisa.

Yennefer19 · 26/10/2020 13:56

Sorry just realised I added a U in the name.

SpookyNoise · 26/10/2020 13:58

I like it!

Tillygetsit · 26/10/2020 23:10

I really like it.

DramaAlpaca · 26/10/2020 23:13

It's pretty. I love Eloise. I prefer Jane to Jean myself but it'd be very nice to have that tribute to your partner's nan.

wishing3 · 26/10/2020 23:16

Ooh, I like it! It feels fresh.

TartanDMs · 26/10/2020 23:16

Love it! Jean is what I would call another DD - and Eloise is pretty. I remember a story book with a character called Eloise, I think she lived in a hotel and had adventures.

Have you read To Kill A Mockingbird? It’s very close to Scout’s full name, Jean Louise, which I rather like. I love love Jean; is it an option for her first name?

AlexaShutUp · 27/10/2020 00:02

I wouldn't use Jean myself, but I actually rather like it, and it would be a nice tribute to your partner's nan. I'm afraid I really dislike Eloise.

Ellmau · 27/10/2020 00:06

Very nice.

TabithaMeow · 27/10/2020 01:43

I love it. Eloise is sweet and Jean is cool and vintage, I think they go well together Smile

missmouse101 · 27/10/2020 01:45

Eloise is lovely but Jean is so frumpy. I can't bear it, sorry.

Enko · 27/10/2020 16:13

I like it Also like Eloisa I think Jean goes nicely as a middlename.

Quercus3 · 27/10/2020 18:43

Lovely name

Firebird83 · 27/10/2020 19:46

Eloisa Jean sounds better

dogrilla · 27/10/2020 22:05

It sounds like the lady version of Elton John

Barryisland · 27/10/2020 22:07

Jean is a terrible name for a baby in the 21st century. It’s ugly.

dolphinpose · 27/10/2020 22:25

I think it's great. Eloise is really stylish and pretty and Jean is so cool. I love Jeannie as a nickname. So cute.

Kanaloa · 27/10/2020 22:44

I think Eloise Jean is lovely. It feels quite classic but not too dated/frumpy. Eloise is a pretty name I think.

Firebird83 · 27/10/2020 23:44

Funny that some people think Jean is cool and others think it’s frumpy Grin
