Which girls name do you prefer?

[bethabean]

Eleanor
Madeline

Both are lovely. I wanted Madeline for my first daughter, DH refused as he'd only ever heard of 1 Madeline We compromised and it's her middle name.

Madeline.

I never know if Madeline is pronounced with the word 'line' on the end or the usual 'lin'.

Madeline

Eleanor is timeless and beautiful in my opinion, but they are both lovely names to be fair. Also Madeleine will almost certainly become Maddie at school although she will of course be able to choose what she wants to be called, but the Eleanors I know seem to remain Eleanors regardless.

Cant stand Madeleine sorry or Madeline. It is just so boring MC. Eleanor much nicer. Would call her Nor for short not Ellie.

Eleanor, although you can’t go wrong with either.

Eleanor. I know a few Madeleines.
