What do you think of this name? Is it sweet and classic, or too trendy?

I really like it. But it will be a matter of moments before someone spells it Elouise. I only know of one Eloise under 10.

love it

Thanks, I didn't realise Eloise might be drifting towards the trendy - I guess it is really another variation of the Ellie group of names.

I love it and it has been my first choice for a girls name since pg with DS1 4 years ago. However, there are so many Ellies at the moment that I'm not sure whether I'd use it now. All hypothetical for me anyway (for now...!)

eliza is a HOT name atm and there aren't many around - we are considering it for future dds!!

BellasYummyMummy · 27/01/2010 20:41

eloise is one of our two names if we have a girl, i dont think its chavvy at all!!

Pineapplechunks · 27/01/2010 20:43

I love Eloise. It came a close second to what I called my DD.

Also love Eliza but it's too close to what DD is called to be able to have it for any future DDs.

Elise is pretty too.

Prefer Louisa/Louise/Eliza/Elise. Not a huge Eloise fan i am afraid!

pipsqueak71 · 27/01/2010 22:28

Very pretty. I only know of one & she is about ten.

ellokitty · 28/01/2010 00:37

My DD is an Eloise - and is definitely not an Ellie. It is definitely not a popular name round here, and definitely not a chavvy name round here either. In fact, (and I have made this point before), its not chavvy because it is a name used by all social stratas of society - from royalty down to normal people, just like you couldn't say 'Victoria' is a chavvy name - just because of the negative "Vicky Pollard" type chav associations. There are too many different types of Victorias / Eloises to be able to categorise them all as Chavvy. In fact, the only Eloises I know are distinctly middle class.

Eloise is quite cute actually..

Like it, but I know four under two.

Love 'Eloise' by the Damned. Prefer Elise as a name - less chance of becoming, ahem, the 'ch' word.

anabellapity · 28/01/2010 09:53

maybe its just the one in ds' class who is the epitome of chavdon - Juicy tracksuits and Ugg boots every day without fail

LuciaRose · 28/01/2010 10:47

I never thought of Eloise as chavvy - more upper class/slightly arty, European (probably because of the book. I know Ellie is very popular now, but I'm not sure of the class connotations.

Eloise = Lovely name !

anabellapity · 29/01/2010 13:04

ok, i have just realised that the european pronounciation sounds fine - it's just not how the chavvy mums pronounce it round 'ere - they say EloUise which i really object to

wasabipeanut · 29/01/2010 13:14

I like it a lot - I know one and she's ace.

LuciaRose · 29/01/2010 14:07

Do you think it just the Louise of today?

(I've always loved the name Louise, by the way)

I love it pronounced in the French way it's very pretty as in Heloise as in Abelard & Heloise x
