Your comments have been incredibly helpful! I finally found a name that feels right: Elinor 'Elle' Campbell. I love the nickname options for Elinor including Elle, Ella, Ellie, & Leni. I love the Sense and Sensibility spelling of Elinor Dashwood. Ava Elizabeth is still a beautiful front runner, but my main reservation with Ava is the current popularity in the US. Elinor has a vintage classic charm and playful nickname options, which may give it a leg up for me.

Can you please help me with a middle name? Is there guidance on how to pick a middle that flows well? Some ideas:

Elinor Claire Campbell
Elinor Rose Campbell
Elinor Vivienne Campbell
Elinor Grace Campbell
Elinor Maxine Campbell
Elinor Florence Campbell

I like Vivienne best - Elinor Vivienne Campbell is a woman to be reckoned with

Claire is nice too, but less zippy

Florence is nice but a wee bit twee, I like Flora better - and it's a nice Scottish combination with Campbell

Maxine is a bit low rent so I'd scrap that.

I'd also scrap Grace, Rose and May from a UK perspective - because they are massively overused as filler middlenames

Other ideas

Elinor Juliet
Elinor Madelaine
Elinor Catriona (if you want a Scottish nod)
Elinor Susannah
Elinor Lois
Elinor Frances
Elinor Constance
Elinor Lucienne
Elinor Christabel

But honestly - I'd go with Elinor Vivienne - it works really well

Love your suggestion of Juliet, thanks!

Elinor Juliet Campbell
Elinor Vivienne Campbell
Elinor Rose Campbell
