Your favourite of the 3?

[BethHx]

I know I post a lot but that's what this forum is for
My partner now has choice of first name,
He likes

Grace
Lily
Ruby
Ella is my favourite name ever but we can't have an Isabelle and Ella :/

I've always loved Lily but fear it's too popular and it's going to be the 'oh another Lily' kind of name.
Although I only know 2 myself.
Grace I think is beautiful but abit boring?
Ruby I love but feel it's chavvy.

I agree lily is lovely but v popular. I'd go with grace.
Maybe a more exotic middle name?

Eliza will be the middle name she'll have 2 but the second depends on the first name x

If you love Ella why not choose a name which can be shortened to it? I wouldn't go for one which ends in -ella as it would be too similar to your DD's name, but something like Eleanor would work? Or I think Ella works as a nickname for Eliza.

Ok so....

Adore Lily it's my all time favourite girls name and I'm desperate to use it one day irrespective of how popular it is, I just think it is so so pretty and yet traditional and old-lady which is what I love

Grace - love love love, very classy traditional and pretty

Ruby - not very keen on, I agree it has become more chavvy (IMO)

Ella - I do like this one, but not as much as the really pretty girls names out there, it seems a bit more 'safe' and less interesting. To me anyway. But I agree Eleanor is lovely and could be Ella or Nora which I'm really liking atm!

ETA : Ella Eliza doesn't flow as well as Lily Eliza or Grace Eliza

I think Grace is my favourite, then Ruby, then Lily. I loved Lily but I have gone off it as it seems every other child is called Lily (where I live anyway) xx

I love the name Lily, that's what my son would've been called. Tbh I wouldn't compromise on what I wanted to name a child of mine based on popularity. The only time I'd have a rethink was if I personally knew quite a few and it was just going to be too much.

My sentiments exactly

Although I would even use a name if someone close to me already had one, if I loved it enough. I would ask them first to be polite. But I just don't get the not choosing a name because it's popular thing. That's not choosing a name because lots of other people like it too basically! I see that as positive affirmation

It would definitely have to be more than 1. I know 3 toddlers called Isla and it's still top of my list atm lol.

 

[sheldonsmommy]

I like Ruby

 

[steph.]

I think you could have an Ella and an Isabelle. It doesn't sound too similar when said out loud. I like Eleanor nn Ella to, I know twins called Isabelle and Eleanor!

From the other names i like Grace.

 

[MummyStobe]

I think they are all pretty names but Grace is my favourite

 

[BethHx]

Do you pronounce Eleanor
Nor like more
Nor like na ?

 

[MUMOF5]

I think it depends how people speak; I know a couple of Eleanor's and they are pronounced differently, one does pronounce hers with a nor sound at the end and the other with a na sound at the end. I usually pronouce it with the na at the end, but I'm from south East London, so maybe an accent thing 😉 xx

Ps: my friend has an Eleanor and uses Ella as nn, I love Ella, think it's beautiful...

 

[RubyRainbows]

I think Isabelle & Ella sounds quite beautiful together! And "Izzy & Ella" makes a nice sib-set!

I pronounce Eleanor with a "nor" sound at the end, but I greatly dislike the name Nora.

Ruby & Lily are both cute. Prefer Grace as a middle name.

 

[BethHx]

After a long hormonal chat with my mommy and partner we have decided to stick with Eliza as we all feel I could regret it and use Ella as her nickname.
I'm extremely happy with this decision as i am respecting my Nan's wishes yet using a nickname me and my partner adore.
I think I need to step back off bnb for abit now so that I don't come onto the name section! Thanks for putting up with my endless threads lol x

 

[MUMOF5]

Great choice! And very pretty name ❤️

 

[cherrylips100]

I like Ruby the best from your choices, though all three are popular where I am. You could use Grace as a second middle name I.e Ruby Eliza Grace

 

[cherrylips100]

Sorry just noticed your last post!

 

[Eleanor ace]

I really like Eliza nn Ella .
If you do take a break fro BnB pleeeeease come back and tell us what you call LO??
