While [name]Temperance[/name], [name]Phillipa[/name] and [name]Ellen[/name] are all beautiful names, my favourite is [name]Ellen[/name]. Despite this, I wouldn’t choose it in your case as due to your surname you’d have the repetition of [name]El/name ([name]Len[/name])nox which as well as being a little bit of a tongue twister takes away from [name]Ellen[/name]'s beauty I think! Maybe it would be worth your while to consider variants of [name]Ellen[/name]? [name]Elena[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name] etc?
I voted for [name]Temperance[/name], but both it and [name]Phillipa[/name] are lovely!
All the best
I voted for [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name], which is, imo, really sweet. I’ve always had a sweet spot for [name]Ellen[/name], despite the fact that it seems dated to quite a few people, because it’s sweet and simple and I like that I could still get to [name]Ella[/name] (which, honestly, I adore, forget the popularity! [name]Ella[/name] has a lot of similarity to [name]Isla[/name], too, except more popular, I suppose. :(). There was a very respected [name]Ellen[/name] who helped to establish my denomination, she wrote a lot of books and is very respected and was a very beloved little lady before she passed away almost a century ago. So I like it because of it’s association to my faith, too. I’m sure [name]Ellen[/name] is much more obscure than the similar [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], etc. which are all the rage right now. I think [name]Ellen[/name] fits in really well with [name]Sadiya[/name] and [name]Wendy[/name], too.
I nearly voted for [name]Philippa[/name] (prefer this spelling), since I love [name]Pippa[/name] so much, but since I didn’t know if you would opt for the nn [name]Pippa[/name], the simple [name]Ellen[/name] got my vote. But if you’d use [name]Pippa[/name], I would be tempted to vote for [name]Philippa[/name]–[name]Philippa[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name] would be lovely, too.
I love [name]Temperance[/name]. So beautiful! But I’m not a big fan of the middle name [name]Gray[/name] for a girl, only for a boy.
Oh how I would love to meet a little [name]Temperance[/name]! It is darling.
I like all three but with LN [name]Lennox[/name], I think [name]Phillipa[/name] is best. Temperence and [name]Ellen[/name] both share lots of repeating sounds with [name]Lennox[/name]: TEH-mper-ENce [name]LEN[/name]-nox and el-[name]LEN[/name] [name]LEN[/name]-nox. I find both too rhymey. [name]Phillipa[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name] is sweet, unusual, and avoids the sing-song sounds.
Despite the l’s, I think [name]Philippa[/name] [name]Lennox[/name] flows the best and it looks so classic and beautiful on the written page. My distant second choice is [name]Temperance[/name].
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Temperance[/name]!
[name]Phillipa[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name]. [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name] is sweet also.
I think [name]Phillipa[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name] sounds beautiful!
Although, [name]Ellen[/name] literally means “ugly” in my language, so I wouldn’t use that even though I love the name and its many variations.
Noooo! I loved [name]Isla[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name]! It is so beautiful.
second choice would be [name]Phillipa[/name] like pp have said.
[name]Ellen[/name] [name]Gray[/name] without a doubt it is really lovely.
