I really like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] with [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]. The sound is familiar but the spelling puts it into a more out-there/interesting category that works really well with [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f].
I do like [name_f]Esther[/name_f] but feel that it’s a bit too buttoned-up, [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] is too linked to [name_u]Les[/name_u] Misérables to me (I also don’t like the pronunciation of it in English), Evolet feels a bit too made-up, [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is sweet but, next to [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f], a bit lackluster and [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] feels very modern American, which doesn’t seem to suit any of your children’s names but especially not [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f], which makes me think of either [name_m]Britain[/name_m] or [name_f]France[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] the most, followed by [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f] and [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]. [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] doesn’t appeal to me in sound, and Evolet feels very modern and “pop culture” to me compared with [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] since it was invented for the film 10,000 BC.
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] sounds too common to me, I chose [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. It’s beautiful and has the same charm and surprising quality as [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]. I like the name [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] but there’s something harsh about it, imo, next to the flowing [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]. After [name_f]Esther[/name_f], I like [name_f]Eponine[/name_f], despite the fact it’s a difficult name for some.
I agree w/ anyagreenwich; I thought [name_f]Esther[/name_f] had that same rarity & same sweet but strong quality as [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]. [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] would be my 2nd pick but [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] is a guilty pleasure!
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Esther[/name_f] are lovely together. My second choice would be [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]. I also really like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] but they feel a bit normal/plain next to a name like [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f].
