I voted for [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f], but I also was drawn to [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f].

I’ve been really appreciating the name [name_f]Christine[/name_f] lately—it’s seemed so lovely [name_m]French[/name_m] Phantom-of-the-[name_f]Opera[/name_f] lately. When I was a kid it seemed ordinary and dated to me, and I never paid much attention to it, but I’m adoring it now.

I voted for [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] for the same reason! Along with it being a family name, the fact that [name_f]Christine[/name_f] is a Phantom of the [name_f]Opera[/name_f] name as well just makes me love it and want to use it even more! Maybe it’s because I’ve never really seen it as a dated name. On a side note, I do prefer the spelling [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] over [name_f]Elinor[/name_f], but that’s just a minor quibble.

Honestly, I really dislike [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. So stuffy. So none of the above is what I selected.

but I dislike the middle names a lot.

I love the name [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], but I didn’t like any of the middles nearly so well. I voted for [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f] because [name_f]Judith[/name_f] was the mn I disliked least.

I like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]. I am not a fan of [name_f]Christine[/name_f], but it will last, as will [name_f]Judith[/name_f]. I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f], although I prefer it [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]. I especially love the nn [name_f]Ellie[/name_f].

[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] would have less problems twenty one years from now. It’s classic and timeless. I may get a lot of flack for saying this but…I feel that a girl named [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] may be targeted in certain parts of the world where Christianity is seen as a threat. Christians are under incredible pressure in many countries and many groups have to practice their religion in secret out of fear of reprisal. Sad but true.

I like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f] (one of the few Biblical heroines) and [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] ([name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Christina[/name_f] are royal names).

[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] had the best flow for me :slight_smile: Have you considered:

[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Marceline[/name_f]/[name_f]Marcheline[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]

I entirely agree with you on the [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] front. It’s a beautiful name, but, as with any name that tends to hint at a certain religion, they might be a risky choice.

I like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f], but it’s hard to say what a 21 yr old would like in 2034… [name_f]Judith[/name_f] was popular longer ago, so maybe it will be back on trend in 10 years. And [name_f]Christine[/name_f] maybe popular again in 20? So [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] gets my vote. :slight_smile:

They seem dated to me…

not feeling the first names

Instead of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] you might consider:
[name_f]Elora[/name_f]
[name_f]Enora[/name_f]
[name_f]Andora[/name_f]
[name_f]Alondra[/name_f]
[name_f]Nera[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
Énola
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]

I don’t like the spelling [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]. I personally like the traditional [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and love the nn [name_u]Nori[/name_u]! For a mn I prefer [name_f]Christine[/name_f] out of your choices.
