I like Phoebe and Eleni
Eden is ok
Constance is a bit of a mouthful I find
i don’t like Mercy

Do you mean pair together as in for twins? I don’t think any particularly flow together

If you are talking about a first and middle name, I like Phoebe and Eden best, but obviously you can't put them together. It doesn't flow - too many 'ee' sounds.

So probably have Phoebe Constance or Eden Constance.

I'm never sure about the pronunciation of Eleni, is it like Elaine - ee, Eh-LENN-ee, ELL-en-ee, or what? I think I prefer Elena.

Love Eleni and Mercy.

Pheobe and Eden are ok.

Don't like Constance at all.

ThatshallotBaby · 15/01/2023 06:38

Constance Eleni is a great name.

crashbandi · 15/01/2023 07:19

Eden Phoebe or Phoebe Constance

atteatimeeverybodyagrees · 15/01/2023 07:22

Mercy is the only one I like the others are very "now" and that puts me off but it might not put you off.

Bobbycat123 · 15/01/2023 07:35

Eleni and Phoebe are both great

lljkk · 15/01/2023 07:59

I cannot warm to Phoebe. It'll be fine if you use it because lots of people like it, but personally I shudder when I hear it. the rest are all fine or even very nice.

SmileWithADimple · 15/01/2023 08:00

I like Eden and Constance (Connie). Prefer Elena to Eleni.

Hobbesmanc · 15/01/2023 08:02

Connie is such a great name. Classic yet still very contemporary sounding. Phoebe has been over done. The others are a bit meh.

Eatentoomanyroses · 15/01/2023 08:02

I know a Phoebe Eleni funnily enough. That’s my favourite.

Mumofgirls2017 · 15/01/2023 08:16

Eden- love
Phoebe- meh
Mercy- no
Eleni- quite like
Constance (Connie)- Connie is ok but not keen on Constance

tbh quite mixed and none obviously go together but maybe Constance and Phoebe?

VenusClapTrap · 15/01/2023 08:20

Love Constance.

CastleTower · 15/01/2023 08:29

Phoebe Constance

Whatdayisitalexa · 15/01/2023 08:49

Eden Eleni (Eleni pronounced Eh,lenny) I like Constance too nn Connie

WrendaleCountryDogs · 15/01/2023 08:50

Do you mean pair as in twins or as a first and middle name?
Eden and Phoebe for twins ❤ or Connie and Phoebe. Not Constance.
First/middle name then Phoebe Connie or Phoebe Constance.

LetsDoThis2023 · 15/01/2023 09:01

Eleni is the nicest by MILES.

LetsDoThis2023 · 15/01/2023 09:02

Do you have Greek heritage?

For twins rather than for a first and middle name, but helpful to have first and middle names too as we love all the names and can use up the remaining names this way 😁

Other middle names we are thinking of are Joy and Hope or Faith.

Eden - no. Too Biblical
Phoebe - ok, a little whimsical on an adult
Mercy - no. I hate virtue names. Evokes inmate on death row images
Eleni - pretty.
Constance (Connie) - no. Mercy name and very dated.

FlounderingFruitcake · 15/01/2023 10:32

Eleni and Phoebe!
And I do also like Constance as a middle name.
Not keen on Eden and especially dislike Mercy.

ThatshallotBaby · 15/01/2023 10:35

Ok, for twins definitely Constance and Eleni. No question.

ThatshallotBaby · 15/01/2023 10:35

Constance Eden
Eleni Joy

Eatentoomanyroses · 15/01/2023 10:39

Ooh twin girls. How gorgeous. I don’t think you can go wrong I like Phoebe and Eden as a pair but your others are nice too. Phoebe is my favourite girls name ever. I wish I was called Phoebe 😂
