Second name for Eleanor

[DutchIrishLondoner]

Hi!

Struggling to decide on second name for our daughter.

She’ll have three names (family tradition) and whilst first and third are set, the second I’m still trying to find the best flow for. I’d like it to be a bit modern / fun as the others are quite traditional, and perhaps for it to be a bit shorter for flow?

currently on

Eleanor Lily Margaux

or Eleanor Olivia Margaux

her nn will be Ella

any other suggestions for the middle name that flow well?

suggestions welcome!

I like Lily. I think something shorter and simpler with a longer first name like that.

I would swap those middle names around, i.e. Eleanor Margaux Olivia.

Another idea for a middle name that springs to my mind is Grace.

Eleanor Lily Margaux is beautiful 💕

Eleanor Jane Margaux
Eleanor Mary Margaux
Eleanor Lily Margaux
Eleanor Kaye Margaux
Eleanor Beth Margaux

I prefer lily

eleanor maeve margaux
eleanor daisy margaux
eleanor wren margaux
eleanor Isabel margaux
eleanor Florence margaux
eleanor ivy margaux
eleanor Skye margaux
eleanor Lucy margaux
eleanor autumn margaux
eleanor eve margaux
eleanor poppy margaux

I think Eleanor Margaux is quite enough.

If you have to, something simple: Jane, Rose, Grace. Too many l's with Lily.

I really like the name Eleanor Grace - it’s my sisters name but it’s timeless and beautiful!

otherwise Eleanor Lily Margeaux is lovely x

Eleanor may

I agree that Eleanor Margot is enough. I don't think you need 3 names and I think both Lily and Olivia don't flow well with Eleanor.

Rigby (sorry, it always pops into my mind when I hear the name Eleanor). Lily is my favourite name, it was my Grandmother's name and if I'd had a daughter I'd have used it but maybe I'll be lucky enough to have a grand daughter some day and it might get used then.

Eleanor Rose Margaux

Eleanor Fay

I wouldn't use Lily or Olivia. Too many Ls.
I like Eleanor Daisy Margaux.

I think that Eleanor Margaux is lovely and enough - any of the super common Lily/Grace names etc just ruin it

Eleanor Joy
Eleanor Kate
Eleanor Jayne
Eleanor Faye

I have an Eleanor Loveday Stephanie, but the only people who call her Eleanor are NHS!

Is Margaux just a fancier spelling of Margot/Margo, or actual different name? If it's the same name then I'd spell it Margo tbh.

Margaux as a name is horrible but slightly better than Chardonnay

Some other suggestions, I think a one-syllable name works well between your two choices,

Eleanor Liv Margaux
Eleanor Eve Margaux
Eleanor Faye Margaux
Eleanor Ash Margaux
Eleanor Lark Margaux

Im Eleanor, no middle name though but some people call me Nell which i like

Not Lily or Olivia. Both have too many Ls. Both are quite traditional, so don’t seem to fit the “fun and more modern” you wanted.

Fern.
Pippa.
Romy.
Tara.
Ruby.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

@WashItTomorrow not Ruby. Ruby with Margaux. Red Ruby and a glass of Margaux.

Agree with others that have said Eleanor Margaux is nice as it is, no need to add any more names!

Eleanor Margot is nice

Or Eleanor Marguerite?

I don’t think Lily really goes.

I wouldn’t use the Margaux spelling as it’s the wine region - it does get used in France but by the sort of people who might call their daughter Chardonnay or Vogue here
