[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] from your sig would be beautiful. Or maybe [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] or [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]! It’s the Scottish form of [name_f]Helen[/name_f], making it a family name for me. :slight_smile: I agree that its use as a MN is probably best, although it makes me sad to think so! It’s so darling. I’ve toyed around with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] before, although, looking at your signature, I love the idea of [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], matchy though the endings are. I love the suggestions of [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] and [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], too! So gorgeous. What about:

[name_f]Fleur[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]/[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] (love!)
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] (really like!)

My problem is that any name I think would stylistically be nice with [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] ([name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], etc.!) all end in the “ee” sound as well! :frowning:

Good luck!

ETA: There’s a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] on here (@oliviasarah!) who has had [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] on and off her list for as long as I can remember, and every time I see it, I swoon! I would love to meet a little [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] or even [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]…

[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] or [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]

I agree that it sounds very well with [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] too!

I love [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] too but am from the US and know the poor girl would be called Eye-lid everywhere she goes. I have an [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and it amazes me how butchered her name gets. :frowning:

Thanks for all the suggestions! I especially like [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f].

Any thoughts on [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]?
