Your thoughts on Elizabeth Dawn Salisbury?

[BenSalisbury678]

Elizabeth was the first name that came to mind, which was on the list to pick for my daughter. I chose Dawn for the middle name. Do you like the names?

I like Elizabeth but not so keen on Dawn. What about Laura as a middle name?

It’s very pretty.

I’m very biased….but I love it.

It's a shame because it has such a lovely meaning but I think Dawn is a pretty awful name. Elizabeth is very classy though and has lots of diminutive/nickname potential.

Dawn is very 1960s and names from that generation are still lacking in mass appeal (few threads on Janet, Deborah, Julie and Angela etc.) so I can’t see Dawn having the warmest reception on here. That said, I’m only offering the view because you asked. If someone introduced their child as Elizabeth Dawn, most people won’t think too deeply about it and will probably forget her middle name pretty quickly.

Elizabeth is an amazing name (so biased though as it's mine) so many shortened forms and nick names. It's timeless and suits any age.

Dawn is ok, not my favourite but as a middle name it's fine.

The first thing I thought was Vera Duckworth!

My DD has Dawn as her middle name so i say go for it!

Lovely!

Fawn makes me think of Buffy but maybe I'm showing my age 😂

Dawn

Sounds aristocratic in the nicest possible way. She could be a friend of the Brigertons 🙂

Vera Duckworth. Came across Liz Dawn IRL and didn't like her

Don't mind Dawn. It does aeem a bit 1960 but it's much better than Aurora

I like Dawn as a middle name - a nice change to the ubiquitous May, Grace, Rose etc which just seem like filler names. (Although I prefer all of those names to Dawn as first names!)

Exactly that but I like Elizabeth but it has tended to be used as a middle name

Salisbury is a nice surname.

Not keen on Elizabeth or Dawn.

My first thought was Vera Duckworth too but I am probably the last generation that will make that association (late 40s).

Elizabeth is beautiful. Dawn is currently a little dated but suspect it will make a comeback.

I thought some old lady from Coronation Street too, didn’t realise it was Vera Duckworth’s name.

Wasn't Dawn the woman who died in the Salisbury poisonings?

The name as a whole sounds like a character from the kind of romantic novels you find abandoned in holiday rentals.

Agree. That's why I'd give a punchier first name.

Is she going to be born aged 55 years old?

That made me snort 😆
Sorry, OP.

Elizabeth Salisbury is a lot of letters to write for a little person!

We figure it out eventually (my name is only a few letters shorter)

Sounds like a pensioner to me sorry.
