Baby Names

Middle name for Eloise? Thoughts on our twin names? :)

We're expecting a boy and a girl in July!! 

We're pretty set on naming baby boy Jackson (Jack) Douglas. As for baby girl, we dont agree on the same type of names but I think we FINALLY settled on Eloise and we'll call her Elle (Not Ellie because I dont like it). But we are pretty much baffled on a middle name for Eloise. Some family middle names are Elizabeth, Marie, Kay, and Margaret but none of those sounded quite right. Should we just get a non family name for her middle name? Suggestions welcome!

Jackson Douglas and Eloise ________ ?

  • For some reason Eloise Jane comes to mind.

  • I like Eloise Kay.   With 3 syllable Eloise, I like any 1 syllable mn (Grace, Joy, Paige, Faith, June, Rae, etc.)

  • I like all of your family name options.

    But just throwing it out there - DD is Eloise Clare

  • Is Douglas a family middle name? If so, you should give Eloise a family middle name as well. I nannied twins and they both had family middle names and their mom said that she either gave them both family middle names or neither!

     

    That said, if Douglas is not a family name, I like Eloise Grace or Eloise Kate.

  • Something very simple like Kate.

    Eloise Kate

  • When we considered Eloise for DD, we paired it with Victoria. I still love the combination.

  • Douglas is my dad's name. And I've never really liked the idea of NOT having a family name as my child's middle name. I'm sure it will come to us eventually! :) 
  • Eloise Marie flows to me, and Eloise Margaret "works" if you want to stick with family names.

    ETA: I have a twin sister. We both technically have family names (her fn, my mn... and my "family connection" is distant because my mn is the French version of my mom's fn, so it's not even exact). To be honest, while I appreciate the family connection, the thing I love most about my name is that my mom and dad loved it and saw it as fitting me. I am not jealous at all that my twin's fn is my mom's mn (exactly). Fwiw.

  • I actually think Eloise Margaret sounds good together.

  • I just have to say that I adore Eloise, and Jack and Elle is a ridiculously cute twin set. Love! For MN's, I think both Eloise Kay and Eloise Elizabeth sound lovely, if you don't mind the alliteration. Other suggestions...

    Eloise Anne

    Eloise Faith

    Eloise June

    Eloise Brynn


  • My daughter's name is Eloise Ann (Ann is also my mother's middle name).
