I wanted to let everyone know what name we went with. I posted several times asking for help with a sibling for [name_u]William[/name_u] goes by [name_u]Liam[/name_u]. Ended up going with an honor name as the first name (Eleanor) and one of my personal favorite names for the middle (June). I had alot of advice and help from all of you and Iād love some opinions on what we should call her! I know that nicknames come naturally but this is more for direction of family and friends who are asking what we plan to call her⦠I donāt see us using the full name [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] that often and plan to use a nickname. Much like we do with our son [name_u]William[/name_u] that we mostly call [name_u]Liam[/name_u] and he goes by [name_u]Liam[/name_u] with his friends and at school. He really only ever gets called [name_u]William[/name_u] by myself or his dad occasionally. Anyways- What do you like best to call our [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]?
-short and simple [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
-Nora
-Ella (not sure if this is a stretch)
-Ellie (really common but itās definitely the most natural nickname of Eleanor)
-middle name [name_u]June[/name_u]- love [name_u]June[/name_u] so much but hate for it to get too confusing having her go by a middle name
-double name to incorporate [name_u]June[/name_u]: [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is beautiful
Massive congratulations!
I think [name_f]Ella[/name_f] can work as a nickname for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] thatās so pretty. Iām a massive fan of [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. However I feel [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is more your vibe. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is really pretty a lovely vintage name that feels very fashionable and works wonderfully with [name_u]Liam[/name_u].
I really like [name_f]Nora[/name_f]! Also, since your son W!lliam goes by L!am, the ending of his name, it would be a cute connection if you daughter Ele@nor went by the ending sound of her name!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the name [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], btw!
Our [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is two now and when she first started to say her name she couldnāt pronounce the āLā sound (we pronounce her name Elle-E-nah) and she started calling herself [name_f]Enna[/name_f].
It was so cute coming from a two year old that even though we intended calling her the full [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or perhaps [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Enna[/name_f] has stuck and itās what we call her 90% of the time.
So you could add [name_f]Enna[/name_f] to your list of nickname options.
Congratiolations one more time! [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is GORGEOUS and my favourite name out from your list! It sounds so wonderfully sunny and warm!
I like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] a lot (I know a little beautiful (!!!) [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] whoās nickname is Ellie). [name_f]Enna[/name_f] is adorable too! So, [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Enna[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f].
[name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_u]June[/name_u]. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is a bit too common in my opinion, with all the variants it can come from. [name_f]Enna[/name_f] is cute too.
[name_f]My[/name_f] top favorite for you is [name_f]Nora[/name_f]! [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_u]Liam[/name_u] are so, so sweet together! [name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would be [name_f]Elle[/name_f], sheās a little stunner in my eyes!
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f]!
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] will probably include [name_f]Elle[/name_f] once sheās a bit older. I think if you say [name_f]Elle[/name_f] for your babe, people will start saying [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] as a diminutive.
I donāt like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] - I just see it as too babyish and squishy (beyond infancy) and never as nice as the name itās shortening. In this case, [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] are as pretty as [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] best of the ones you listed. Iām a sucker for double names! Iāll also suggest [name_f]Ella[/name_f] J/Jay and [name_f]Nola[/name_f]. You could even get away with [name_f]Junie[/name_f]. Anything goes with nicknames!
congrats on choosing such a lovely name for your little one! i think eleanor june is such a beautiful combination, and all the nickname options you listed are adorable i personally really like nora or elle, but itās ultimately up to what you feel fits best for your daughter! and youāre right, nicknames usually come naturally so itāll be interesting to see what sticks wishing you all the best with your new addition!
Of your nn options, my favourite is [name_f]Nora[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Ella[/name_f] probably goes best with [name_u]Liam[/name_u]. However my all time favourite [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn is [name_f]Nell[/name_f]
I LOVE [name_f]Nora[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I also love the symmetry of both of them having 4 letter/2 syllable nicknames that donāt start with the same letter as their full name. [name_f]Elle[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] are cute too but I would definitely go with [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
Like the poster above, Iām also a big fan of [name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] as well.
