Opinions on these girls names? DD1 is Elisabeth

Eleanor
Susanna (or Susannah)
Esther
Miriam
Caroline

Any other suggestions welcome :)

There's not a bad name on your list OP! I'm particularly drawn to Caroline to pair with Elisabeth.

Other thoughts:
Clementine
Josephine

I love Miriam!

I love Miriam (nn Mimi?)
Joanna is beautiful too.

I like them all, apart from Esther.

Helena, Louisa and Eleanor are my favourites, though I’d personally avoid another “E”. Caroline and Miriam are also really nice and compliment Elisabeth.

I'd avoid another E but live the others.

Also.like Sophie, Grace, Maria, Flora

Rebecca/Rebekah and Rachael/Rachel sit nicely with your list op. All lovely names btw

Lovely names, I’d go Joanna though.

Lovely classics. Love Helena and Louisa. I always try to avoid repeating initials if possible eg Eleanor or Esther.

Favourites are Helena and Louisa. Least favourite is Miriam

Louisa ❤️

Helena - ok but seems to blend into the El-names
Katherine - ok but will get shortened
Louisa - like
Eleanor - not with Elisabeth. ok but seems to blend into the El-names
Susanna (or Susannah) - prefer it with a h, but both fine
Esther - like
Miriam - OK, but Mimi and Miri both awful
Caroline - like
Joanna - will be Jo

Lovely, lovely names.

As others have said, I'd avoid another "E."

I don't think "Elisabeth and Louisa" works because the "lisa" of Elisabeth and "Louisa" sound too similar. We avoided Elizabeth and Lucy because we were worried Elizabeth might end up as Lizzie when she went to school, and Lizzie and Lucy wouldn't work at all. Unless you are confident your Elisabeth will never end up as a Lizzie, I'd avoid Louisa.

My favourites from your list are Katherine and Miriam.

I like Katherine and Eleanor best, but to me Katherine wins out as it can be Kate, Katy, Kathy, Kitty, while Eleanor is likely to end up Ellie and get lost among all the Evie, Edie, Ellie, Ella names.
Prefer the spelling Katharine though.
Edited to add: also, I hadn’t noticed when I posted that Elisabeth and Eleanor are both El names so I think that rules Eleanor out

I don't think "Elisabeth and Louisa" works because the "lisa" of Elisabeth and "Louisa" sound too similar.
They sound quite different @VeryViolet unless Elisabeth gets shortened to Lisa.

Read the next sentence of my post!!

@VeryViolet , I had.

Elisabeth and Caroline ❤️

Genevieve
Ella
Charlotte
Alice
Lillian
Freda
Frances
Victoria
Olive

I would avoid another “E” - will be a pain having two Miss E Firebird83 in the house when it comes to post, appointment, life admin etc; especially as they get older.
So not Esther or Eleanor in my opinion.

I would also avoid Helena as you can’t control what nicknames their future friends give them and both Elizabeth & Helena could be El, Elle, Ellie etc; they have the same “sound” in them.

Helena.

All lovely classic/ sophisticated names but like others I would avoid the same initial as others in the family, so that rules out Eleanor and Esther.

All way too 80’s for me. Old fashioned, but not in a good way, sorry!

I really love that list of names (and it’s not often I feel that way on here!).
My favourites are Helena, Louisa and Susanna. I think they all go well with Elisabeth, but I think I like Susanna best 😊

Eleanor is the best from your list but I’d avoid another E name. Not keen on any of the others - Esther, Miriam, Joanna and Caroline are particularly awful.

Audrey
Clare
Genevieve
Juliet
Isabel
Cecilia

Those are all nice names. I would avoid using Eleanor or Esther as you already have a child with an E initial (and also discount any that have the same initial as you or your partner). My husband has the same initial as him mum and found it a pain when post arrived addressed with the initial when he lived at his mum's house.
I'd also not use Helena as some people pronounce it Helenna and others Helayna. Kids don't like it if people mispronounce their name.

I'm biased because I have a little Esther. It's such a versatile classic that's not overly used. My girl is 9 months and is often called Essie.

The other comments about avoiding another E name is something to consider. But I think they would go wonderfully together 😇
