DH and I are leaning toward [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (nickname [name_f]Nora[/name_f]) for our baby girl due in [name_f]September[/name_f].
Her older sister is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] - a traditional first name with a frilly vintage middle. [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] is also an honor name.
I’d like something similar for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Either of these two would be honor names:
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] would be my choice. It’s cute, sweet, soft, and spunky. My first thought is [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], but I know it’s a little more common for some people’s taste.
Thanks to everyone for your input - I’m glad to read that [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is getting good feedback; I wasn’t sure if people would dislike the two vowels together.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is gorgeous. I’m starting to fall for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], so classy and feminine. And it flows amazingly with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] as a first.
