Can I have an Elliot and Eleanor?

[GreyTones]

I can't, can I?

My sisters best friend was a Charlotte who’s brother was a charles

i also know Eleanor’s called nelly, Norah, and lena for short which might be ok

No. Elli and elli.

Don't see why not. Depends if any nn are the same. e.g. Ell/Els if other is Elle/Ellie
They are similar, sure, but I'd assume you just wanted matchy names.

But I mine by each other's names anyway so calling them all Ell might be the answer! or El 1 El 2

call

I’d say no.

I think you can. It’s fine!

It's a no from me.

You could have Elliot and Lena or similar.

I accidentally call my DC by each other's name from time to time and their names are completely different. So far too similar for that reason I think (assuming you or anyone else in their lives is likely to do the same). Personally I also find it useful to have names with different initials for labelling items, shorthand in comms etc.

I think they go really nicely together. I don't think Elliot would be shortened to El or Elli as they're both very girly nn so i don't think that would be a problem

I wouldn’t. They’re quite a different style as well while also being similar.

It's fine.

My dream sibset when I was younger was Elliot and Eloise.

No you can’t.

I think they're too similar.

If you like the EL sound, how about a name where it's less obvious -
Isobel
Gabrielle
Mirabel
Christobel
Annabel
Arabella
Estelle
Stella
Mabel
Delilah
Celine
Laurel
Felicity
Imelda
Madeleine
Noelle
Penelope
Evelyn
Hazel

@mathanxiety yes, Gabriella is the second name on our list actually but do prefer Eleanor

If you like the sound of Eleanor, how about Leonore or Leonora?

Would sound a bit silly

Not keen. Too alike .

I would definitely do that OP.

They are both great names!!!

I love Eleanor so much - it’s ridiculously beautiful. I’ve got two boys and if I’d had a girl she would definitely have been an Eleanor.

A guy I used to work with had a Lucy and a Lucas.

Of course you can. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wouldn't, sorry but it sounds too gimmicky. I'm not sure I like the "Nor" sound either. Gabriella is lovely.

You could but it looks like you wanted matching names.
Would Leonora or Helena be options

Gabriella is sometimes shortened to Ella, which is too close to Elliot.

Weird.

Have you got one of them already? And if so, what's their pet name?

Hmm not sure...I think not.
Elliot and Helena might be good fit for you.
