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 love it!

I love Jeanne said in a French accent even more, but you'd have to have a French connection to get away with it.

Really pretty. Flows nicely, easy to spell, not overly popular and suits all ages.

Eloise is quite nice although I prefer other similar names such as Elsie or Louisa. Not keen on Jean so personally would use another related name from the female versions of John, such as Joanna or Jeanette.

Love it

Eloise is lovely and Jean is retro cool. The combination flows well, and is a bit unusual. Nice choice!

Yes, it's lovely, Eloise Jane is prettier. Lots of times Jane/Jean is interchanged.

I like it. Jean flows well as a middle name.

Eloise is a bit too frilly for me and is yet another El- name. I prefer Louise.
Jean is nice.

One of the nicest I’ve seen on here. Jean is such a cool name.

Norma Jean
Jean Louise Finch
Jean Seberg
Jean Harlow

Elouise Jean sounds too 'eeee' when you say it. Elouise is nice but to me Jean is very old fashioned and full.

MikeUniformMike · 29/10/2020 12:07

@joystir59, it is Eloise not Elouise. It has nothing to do with the name Louise.

I find Eloise a bit clunky and a bit like "ehhh, Louise" which puts me off.

I love Jean, and I love Jean Louise aka Scout Finch.

I did also laugh at Eloise Jean being the female version of Elton John!
