So excited that we both really like Elowyn. Please please help with mn suggestions!

Girl Names
1

Dh and I are really liking Elowyn P—ll (last name) for a baby girl (so excited, as it has been a struggle to find something we both like). I know many will make a LOTR connection, but it doesn’t bother me if ppl think of that (the name isn’t actually in the movies-just a similar sound).

1st question: general thoughts on elowyn? any potential problems with the name that we haven’t thought of?

2nd question: any nn thoughts/suggestions?

3rd question: middle name suggestions? Please, none of the regular ‘filler’ names. (We’re starting at scratch for a mn as we do not want to use family names).

[name]Feel[/name] free to answer any or all of the questions, but I’m especially interested in middle name suggestions:)

THANK YOU!

Forgot to note that baby girl’s brother’s name will be either [name]Thaddeus[/name] [name]Roman[/name] or [name]Thaddeus[/name] [name]Brandon[/name] ([name]Brandon[/name] is after my husband).

I would strongly recommend the Elowen spelling. The -wyn ending is almost exclusively masculine in Welsh. You might as well be naming your son [name]Josephine[/name]. Other than that, Elowen is a beautiful name.

Elowen [name]Charlotte[/name]
Elowen [name]Aurora[/name]
Elowen [name]Valentine[/name]
Elowen [name]Portia[/name]
Elowen [name]Anna[/name]
Elowen [name]Cecilia[/name]
Elowen [name]Lucia[/name]
Elowen [name]Marina[/name]
Elowen [name]Camilla[/name]
Elowen [name]Leah[/name]
Elowen [name]Una[/name]
Elowen [name]Sarah[/name]
Elowen [name]Scarlett[/name]
Elowen [name]Audrey[/name]
Elowen [name]Claudia[/name]
Elowen [name]Laura[/name]
Elowen [name]Octavia[/name]
Elowen [name]Violet[/name]
Elowen [name]Clara[/name]
Elowen [name]Julia[/name]
Elowen [name]Hannah[/name]
Elowen [name]Felicity[/name]
Elowen [name]Amelia[/name]

I actually like Elowyn. It’s pretty and uncommon and I tend to like “E” names. :slight_smile: NN [name]Elly[/name], [name]Winnie[/name]

Try these out for middle names:

Elowyn [name]Renee[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Cherise[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Ophelia[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Olivia[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Elyse[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Esme[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Lenore[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Reese[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Audrey[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Chelsea[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Maya[/name] P____ll
Elowyn [name]Odette[/name] P____ll

Good luck on the mn hunt!

Elowyn [name]Maeve[/name] was the first thing that came to mind.

1st question: general thoughts on elowyn? any potential problems with the name that we haven’t thought of? Yeah, some people might think its cheesy/LOTR-ish. But it is a beautiful name. If you do find that you’re bothered by the LOTR thing, [name]Eloise[/name] has a similar feel!

2nd question: any nn thoughts/suggestions? When I was considering Elowyn, I thought [name]Winnie[/name] would be such a cute nn!!! Otherwise, the standard [name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ella[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name], or [name]Lolo[/name].

3rd question: middle name suggestions? Please, none of the regular ‘filler’ names. (We’re starting at scratch for a mn as we do not want to use family names).

Elowyn [name]Louise[/name]
Elowyn [name]Christine[/name]
Elowyn [name]Alexandra[/name]
Elowyn [name]Renee[/name]
Elowyn [name]Justine[/name]
Elowyn [name]Faustine[/name]
Elowyn [name]Kate[/name]
Elowyn [name]Ottilie[/name]

The -wyn spelling makes it masculine. Elowen would be the female.

Elowen [name]Ffion[/name]
Elowen [name]Rhiannon[/name]
Elowen [name]Angharad[/name]
Elowen [name]Aurelia[/name]
Elowen [name]Gisele[/name]

I agree with southern.maple about the -wyn ending, I think it’s more feminine Elowen, but it’s entirely up to you! Some possible nn for you could be, [name]Ella[/name]/[name]Elle[/name], Lowy, Wen/[name]Wyn[/name], or [name]Wynnie[/name].

I think it’s a very Welsh sounding name, and I could recommend a few pretty Welsh middle names for you being from [name]Wales[/name] :slight_smile:
Here are a few for you to look at.

Elowyn/en [name]Mali[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Cari[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Eleri[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Carys[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Rhian[/name] ([name]Ree[/name]-an)
Elowyn/en [name]Ffion[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Bethan[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Lowri[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Nia[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Rhiannon[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Mai[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Manon[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Seren[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Delyth[/name]
Elowyn/en Aneira
Elowyn/en Mabli
Elowyn/en [name]Ariana[/name]
Elowyn/en [name]Enid[/name]
Elowyn/en Haf
Elowyn/en [name]Fflur[/name] (Ff-lee-r, FF like [name]Fiona[/name], similar to the French [name]Fleur[/name])

If want the meaning of any of these name, don’t hesitate to ask and good luck!

I think Elowen is soo pretty! :slight_smile: Like PP, I prefer this spelling though. Elowen [name]Magnolia[/name], Elowen [name]Annabel[/name], or Elowen [name]Rosalie[/name], perhaps?:slight_smile:
