Here are some prompts that might help:
- what are your other two names? Are they cottagecore clunky, grand and epic, punchy and urban, or short & sweet? If the first two, then would go [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], last two, [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
- Do you (like me) get twitchy about the name [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]? If so, and depending on where you live and how likely it is, you might want to take that out as a possible nickname.
- Wouis either you or your husband be genuinely upset not to get the version of the name? Has someone been able to get their ideas across the line from babies 1 and 2?
- Also, as a wildcard (and it might only help confirm your two), what about [name_f]Leonor[/name_f]? Or [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]? I love these names - and they give you the [name_f]Nora[/name_f] (and [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and [name_m]Lenny[/name_m]) nickname option(s) while taking [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] away as a possibility (sorry to [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] mums I just don’t like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] - partly too popular but it’s also just too squishy cute for me). I also find Leonor/ [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] a nice midway option between the grand and a tad clunky [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and the streamlined and a tad remote, [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
