Thoughts on the name Eloise? Nicknames??

[Kghl03]

Hi!

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

Eloise Primrose 🌹

Pressed send too soon!!!
That should have said 'but I really love the name Eloise. Nickname not necessary but probably would get shortened to Ellie

My DD was given Eloise as her middle name after ‘The Damned’s version of Eloise. Love it

I know one Eloise ( named for the Damned song ) she's always always been weezer which really suits her.

Me too! It is pretty cute though, nn wheezy.

We shorten it to lou

Lulu

Eloise is a really nice name.

Any nickname will evolve naturally after she is here if she has one, and won't necessarily be anything to do with her name.

Lolo
Lowi
Elo
Lulu
Lou
Easy Peasy Eloisey

This.

Unless you are deliberately using a full name on the birth certificate but intending to always use a diminutive (e.g. Elizabeth to be known as Beth) you can't really pick a nickname. You'll naturally call her a selection of things that bear more and less relation to her actual name and one or two of those will stick.

I work with an Eloise, pretty name.

She gets called Elle, or Lulu.

I'm not sure "Essie" naturally comes from Eloise but then it doesn't need to, nicknames can be what ever you affectionately call your little one. My DD gets called Bunny or Buns and that's absolutely nothing to do with her name lol. Congratulations!

The Eloise I know is Lulu.

I love the name Primrose! DH has vetoed it from our list 🥲 Eloise is nice - I think Ellie is more natural than Essie

I have an Eloise. Only thing it gets shortened to is Weez or Weezie by her cousins

Love it! I would use full version and see what evolves but prefer El/Elle as nn as it feels the most natural.

Love love love Eloise, it’s my DD’s middle name. I don’t get how you get Essie from it though, and why you’d even want to as it’s a bit Loch Ness Monster (sorry!). Nicknames evolve so don’t force it but Elle, Ellie, Lou, Lulu would all be nice.

To be pedantic, it should be Eloïse as the o and the i are pronounced separately (like Anaïs or Noël).

But as for a nn, your DD's friends will choose their own nn for her, regardless of what you call her at home.

Beautiful, my friend has an Eloise, usually called Lou.

Snap. Haha.

Lovely name.

There's a few around ...I know 3 in one year group !!
But I love the name

Not a natural shortening.

It will probably end up as El

Everyone I know called Eloise is known as Eloise. I know 4.

El, Elle, Ellie, Elo, Lo, Lolo, Weezie, Weetzie.

I don't think Essie is too unrealistic, though - it's the same kind of progression as Melissa > Missy, Rosemary > Romy, Caroline > Callie, Margaret > Maggie, etc.

I have an Eloise, she's 7 weeks old. Known as Ellie to family

I love the nickname Wheeze!
