Ok…so we are expecting #1 and it is a Girl!
We are excited and are pretty sure that we want to use the name
[name]Elspeth[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] Lynnore
These are family names but in variation…think like sounds like type of thing.
Anyways I am just wanting to prepare myself for other peoples thoughts on the name.
We are thinking of using a nick name of like [name]Elle[/name] or [name]Ellie[/name] but I don’t like those names as stand alone names.
Anyways what are your thoughts?
[name]Hi[/name]! It’s gorgeous, but I would definitely (100%) spell it [name]Elspeth[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Lenore[/name], as Lynnore just looks completely misspelled to me and detracts from the vintage elegance of the name in my opinion. I think this name is great, and either [name]Elle[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], or [name]Elsa[/name] would be perfect nicknames for her…
[name]Lemon[/name] 
Thanks [name]Lemon[/name] 
The reason for the spelling as odd as it may be is it is after my husbands sister. Her name is [name]Lynn[/name]. So I wanted to preserve the feel of her name with out the generic nature.
I agree with this
I also think [name]Elsa[/name] is one of the sweetest nicknames ever and would never consider generic [name]Ellie[/name] when I have fabulous [name]Elsa[/name] as an alternative! ^^
I considered something like [name]Elsa[/name] however I was concerned because my cousin has a daughter named [name]Elsie[/name] that they would be too similar. They would only be about 2 years different in age. I am not a fan of having the same name in a family, hence the somewhat different names.
What a lovely, unique name combination. I really love it! I agree with the suggestion of spelling Lynnore the more traditional way though. I think you would still be honoring your baby’s aunt, even with the [name]Lenore[/name] spelling.
I love it. It flows well, with the repetition of the “L” sound, and it’s all nicely vintage but not unheard of. [name]Lovely[/name] choice.
I hear others on the Lynnore/[name]Lenore[/name] but I have to say, you can never, ever go wrong honoring someone you love. No matter how clunky the name. I regret more NOT honoring loved ones more; I feel like I placed my desire for a certain spelling first, and felt a little silly and selfish later.
One of my daughters has LouJean as a middle name, after my husband’s favorite aunt. I balked at first, because it’s so not my style, but I have come to love it as much if not more than my other names I’ve chosen, and I’m grateful I went for it, clunky spelling and all.
I also love [name]Elsa[/name] as a nn. [name]Seth[/name] or Sethie is a slight possibility also.
I like it very much. I want to say about Lynnore - it’s obviously a modern fallacy to say it should be spelled “correctly” to retain some quality. [name]How[/name] many lists do we see of people’s ancestors and in other historical records how their crazy names are spelled crazy ways. “Yooneek”-ness is not a modern phenomenon, but when it’s “long ago,” somehow retains an authenticity of a simpler time. I don’t know why that is.
It’s definitely very special to spell it for the purpose of honoring a loved one. If you are however swayed to change it, I would change it to something like [name]Lynnelle[/name] or [name]Lynette[/name]. Keep in mind how far back in the name proper it is and how much it matters to you make it appear more correctly or more sentimentally. I really like the name [name]Lenore[/name], but you have your reasons for spelling it weird, and I respect that for what it is. Beautiful name.
Beautiful name! I love to see [name]Elspeth[/name] being used–[name]Elsa[/name], I must admit, is my favorite nn for it, and if [name]Elsie[/name] is going to be her second cousin…? Well, I guess it depends how often you see them. If it’s a maybe once a year thing, I’d go with it. Otherwise, [name]Ellie[/name] is very cute. That would be my second choice.
Lynnore…ehm…lovely name, but the spelling looks…awkward? I think that [name]Lenore[/name], as it sounds the same, would be a better way of honoring your family member. If you’re definitely set on a name with “[name]Lynn[/name] with a Y,” the only one I have ever been able to get myself to like it [name]Jocelyn[/name]–although definitely not [name]Jocelynn[/name]/[name]Josselyn[/name]/etc.; it ruins the charm. [name]Elspeth[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Jocelyn[/name] would be gorgeous. (All the same, [name]Elspeth[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Lenore[/name] is fantastic! Decisions, decisions! [: )
Overall, I think you deserve an A in naming. [name]Elspeth[/name] will have an amazing name! Good luck–

I think the name is beautiful! And though I would typically agree with suggesting the more traditional spelling of Lynnore, I totally agree with it since it honors someone! I like “[name]Ellie[/name]” better than “[name]Elle[/name]” and agree that they are better as nicknames than standalones. Other nicknames I can see are: [name]Ella[/name], (from [name]Elspeth[/name])[name]Ami[/name], [name]Mia[/name], [name]Mila[/name],(from [name]Amelia[/name]) or [name]Nora[/name] (from Lynnore)! Good luck!
I have to admit I am really glad I asked about this. When we were throwing out names to family/friends they were appalled at the name [name]Elspeth[/name]…
It really upset my husband as the name is after me (elizabeth). But I just love it. I like the odd spelling and there were some fantastic nick names I would have never thought of. I am going to have to drag my husband over to look at them and see if there are any Alt’s we like better.
[name]Elspeth[/name] is a great, vintage name, and the whole name flows well. Using [name]Elle[/name]/a really freshens up [name]Elspeth[/name], and would the adorable nn [name]Elsie[/name], who would fit right in amongst todays’ Maisies.
While I prefer to use old, concrete spellings of names, Lynnore still sounds pretty and, as it honours someone close to you and is in the middle, I think it is a nice, tasteful variation.
Good luck! [name]Auburn[/name]
Not so keen on [name]Elspeth[/name]. For some reason, Scottish names usually don’t appeal to me. To me, [name]Elspeth[/name] sounds kind of like an old woman’s name.
Well I am part scottish but really that isn’t the reason. All the other variations of [name]Elizabeth[/name] that we could come up with were to over used for our tastes. Also we thought it flowed so well with the other names.
[name]Hi[/name]!
What a fabulous name! Normally, I’d spell Lynnore as [name]Lenore[/name], since it still sort of honors. However, it’s only a second middle name, and the honoring is a bit more obvious…
Personally, I prefer [name]Elsa[/name] as a nickname, as I hear [name]Ellie[/name] fairly often. Still, [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Elle[/name] do a great job making an uncommon (underused!) name more “normal”… If you and your cousins are very close and see each other often, maybe [name]Elsa[/name]/[name]Elsie[/name] as your daughter’s middle name would be too close…
Best of luck to you!
