Girl name help

[LondonGirl1992]

feel totally lost when it comes to girl names! What’s everyone’s thoughts on the following-

Eleanora
Nancy
Beatrix

thank you!

love the Nancy the best out of these three.

Eleanor is an elegant name with nice short versions. Elle, Ellie or even Norah.

Eleanora - too long. Eleanor is much nicer. Not keen on Ellie, Ella or Norah.
Nancy - great
Beatrix - beer tricks.

They’re all fine. I like Nancy best but also Beatrix nn Trixie

Trixie is awful.

I like Beatrix. It is nice to see that spelling being used and I quite like Trixie as a nn. (Not so much as a BC name!)

I also know a few who go by Bea and Bibi.

Nancy and Eleanor are my faves but Beatrix is nice.

Eleanora is too fussy and I don't like Nora.

Pandora
Bianca
Leonor

I prefer Ellen
I find Beatrix to hard a name - maybe
Agatha

I like Dorothea which you may like

Eleanora is beautiful but i'd think she'd likely become just another Ellie unless you push Nora. I really like Leonora nn Leo for a girl which i think is similar but avoids Ellie.

I really dont get the Nancy love on here. I always think of the placebo song Nancy boy.

Beatrix is another great name, fiesty but still has a classic feel.

They are all beautiful names!

Eleanora is classy but I'm not keen on the nicknames. DH works with an Ellie and it doesn't seem like a strong and serious name to me. Eleanor, however, does work without being shortened.
Beatrix - I prefer Beatrice but can't say I'm keen. It's OK. It's not awful.
Nancy is an old fashioned name to me, and American. Nancy Reagan. Nancy Drew. I really don't get the appeal.

My favourite of the 3 is Nancy, love it

Same here. Nancy to me is Swallows & Amazons, Nancy in Oliver Twist, a former PM's daughter, and a name that is a 'granny name' in a good way.

Don’t really like any of them even though my mum is one of them!
What about Leanora? It’s similar but sounds less of a mouthful.

@Onefortheroad25 , it's usually Leonora. It will get misspelt and mixed up with Leonore etc.
It does seem easier to say and would be less likely to end up being Ellie.

My daughter is called Eleanor so I much prefer that but don’t dislike Eleanora. Just feels a bit of a mouthful. I’m obviously biased about the name Eleanor though.

I absolutely LOVE Nancy.

Same for Beatrix.

Out of the three, Nancy is my favourite. Unless Eleanora is change to Eleanor then I’ll go for that.

Also to add- my daughter is almost 7 and everyone calls her Eleanor. No one has shortened it to Ellie as far as I’m aware. My husband and I often call her El/Elle but no one else does.

Your username suggests otherwise.

I like Nancy (it's my DD's middle name, named after my Nan) especially as I like the nickname Nance. I also like Trixie for Beatrix if you do go down the nickname route.

However, with both those names I think there's a good chance people would use the full name. I like the name Eleanora but I do feel that it's likely to be shortened and I'm not personally a fan of any natural diminutives of it. If that doesn't bother you though, I would go for it.

I'd be tempted to go for Nora - I think it has a nice simplicity to it.

Are you naming alongside a partner? Although it can be annoying to have someone else's opinion to accommodate, I also find it helpful to narrow down choices. I hope you find something that feels just right (which may not happen until the baby arrives).

Eleanora or Elena

Eleanora - its a four-syllable mouthful, - if you like the sound of EL then Ella, Elle, are sweeter.

Nancy seems very north American - fine if that's where you live. I guess.

Beatrix - not ideal when this is the name of the former Prince Andrew's daughter. I know they did nothing wrong, but you don't want to be associated with the family.

All three are lovely.

Just put the names in a hat and pick one out.

@RogueFemale

Nancy is not at all North American, and AMW 's daughter is not Beatrix.

Beatrix is beautiful.

I like Nancy.
Prefer Leonie to Eleanora.
Not keen on Beatrix. Bernadette?
