Help! Eloise or Anna

I am 41+1 weeks pregnant and will be induced tonight. This is our first child and we don’t know the sex of the baby, but we have already decided on a boy name. We had picked out [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for a girl, but I have always loved the name [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and am having a sudden change of heart on going with [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. Please give me some feedback on whether you prefer [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. (Or other middle names for [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]). Thank you in advance!! Nothing like last minute indecisiveness!

I love the names [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and I wasn’t sure what I was going to say until I read the full name and when I read [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] I SIGHED. Because it’s gorgeous.
I think either way, both first names are great, but when you put down the combo, I just think [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is so gorgeous. Maybe you need to see her and try them both on?

I love [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]! [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is gorgeous.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m thinking we will have to try them both on, too. I’m really glad to hear you like both, and I agree, I’m really loving [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. Hopefully we will know which fits when we see her. Thanks again for your input, it’s much appreciated!

I agree to wait and meet her. You may know just to see her. Those are lovely choices, you can’t go wrong.

I’d echo what others have said. They’re both gorgeous names. [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is more of an “eye-catcher” because you don’t see it as much, but lately I’ve been so in love with sweet, versatile [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. Whichever seems more right at the time is the name you should choose, because I can’t find a defect in either one. Unless it sounds silly with your last name, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] would be very pretty, too. Best wishes!

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is just beautiful. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]!! I love that name

I love the classic [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], as this combination has been on and off my list throughout the years. [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is just beautiful, so I can understand your dilemma! I do think you need to meet your little one to decide whether she is truly an [name_f]Anna[/name_f] or an [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. Good luck!

I prefer [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], but I think the pp is right and if you have two names just wait until you meet your little one and then decide. Good luck!

I adore both [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and both combos are gorgeous. I think you should wait and decide once you meet her, if baby is a girl.

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is classic and lovely, but [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is gorgeous! Good luck!

Both are beautiful names, I also like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. Definitely wait till you meet her then you will know for sure which is the right name! Plus, if you have a boy it will be easier to save these names for the future if you haven’t tied them to this baby.

Thanks to all for the great responses! We are heading to the hospital in two hours and I’m feeling much better about my sudden inability to make a decision. We will be meeting our baby soon and will decide then. Thanks again!!

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is beautiful.
And what about [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]? Sounds nice, too :slight_smile:

Both are gorgeous! You can’t go wrong either way. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is classic, while [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] has a more vintage feel. Hoping you can decide when you meet her/him!
