Help us pick a middle name

We're expecting a baby girl, and we have settled on the name Eléa (pronounced el-ay-ah)

Still struggling to pick a middle name to go with it, we don't think either of our mums middle names go. DH has suggested Louise since that's also my middle name and it's French (so is he for reference)

I like Eléa Louise but want to consider more options.

Any suggestions welcome! 😊

Louise is nice

I'd be tempted to go Louis/ Louisa / Eloise to make it bit different..

Definitely not Eléa Elouise, nor anything else that states with A or E.

Elea Louise is fine, and good to have a more standard second name.

What sound does your surname start and end with? How many syllables?

A few asking about our surname, it's Petit, so fairly short

Eléa Petit
Eléa Louise Petit (?)

I'm liking some of the other suggestions also!

Eléa Joelle

I'd avoid something that sounds like a letter.
Elea Noelle sounds like L. A. a no L.
