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

newbiename · 22/07/2022 22:14

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
