Hi!

Starting to really like the name Eloise but would like a classy nickname!

Eloise Primrose 🌹

Ellie

I like Elouise, it's pretty.

Nicknames evolve naturally imo.

PrimroseWharf · 22/07/2022 22:07

Love it! Elle or Ellie would be the classic shortenings, I prefer Elle.

LuLu?

I nearly called dd Eloise just so I could teach her to say 'it's me! Eloise!' all the time.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 22/07/2022 22:09

I know one who is known a Ellie or Lou Lou.

In my head I'm singing Eloise by The Damned now (love that song and beautiful name)

Nothing more to add Grin

Ellie would probably be the diminutive. Nicknames evolve , not everyone has one.

RuthW · 22/07/2022 22:15

Love Eloise.

I would shorten to Nellie and I really really dislike Ellie.

magentadaisy · 22/07/2022 22:17

Lissie

Kghl03 · 22/07/2022 22:17

I was thinking Essie!

I prefer Elise. It's easier to pronounce and just as pretty

nervousnelly8 · 22/07/2022 22:18

I know an Eloise who has always been Lola

scrivette · 22/07/2022 22:18

It's a lovely name, doesn't need a nickname.

allboysherebutme · 22/07/2022 22:20

Ella.

20viona · 22/07/2022 22:20

Boring lol

Honeyroar · 22/07/2022 22:22

I love Eloise (also sing the Damned song when I hear it). Elise is lovely too.

not sure how you get Nellie or Essie from Eloise though. Essie sounds a bit too Loch Ness monster to me.

Kghl03 · 22/07/2022 22:22

Rude!

Agreed.

Musicaltheatremum · 22/07/2022 22:26

My son's girlfriend is Elouise. She's lovely. No nickname for her.

NancyJoan · 22/07/2022 22:51

DD’s friend is called Ellie as often as she is called Eloise. It’s a lovely name.

TobySpaniel · 22/07/2022 22:55
