Hey Berries,
I’m coming up with names for a girl. My grandma was called Eleni (Greek heritage), so I would really love to use this as a first name, but what name would suit as a middle name, thinking either Greek or English heritage. I’m British. Thanks
I love Eleni! With Greek middle names I’d suggest-
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Irida[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Kleio
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Myrto
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Xenia[/name_f]
If you were to use simple and common nicknames, you could go with [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Jane, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Grace, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Elizabeth, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Joy, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Mae, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] Rose, or something else in that direction.
But if you want something a little less common, I would suggest one of these:
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
Those aren’t incredibly unique either, but I think they sound nice with the name. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you don’t like any of my suggestions, I think a shorter nickname might be better. Because even though [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] looks short on paper, it’s three syllables and might sound like a mouthful with a long middle name. So in my opinion, one or two syllables are best :).
[name_u]Happy[/name_u] naming!
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] is lovely! [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Toula[/name_f] would be cute and honours your Greek heritage.
I love Eleni!
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Josefa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
