Suggestions needed

brookew86 · February 2013

So my 3 1/2 year old, Lillian, has demanded I have a girl since I'm pregnant again. It's hard to explain to the child that we can't really choose if we have a boy or girl. Haha! So we were discussing names and these two stuck out:

Eleanor Geneva Wheeler

Charles Christopher Wheeler

The middle names are pretty much set in stone, or at least for a boy it is. Christopher was my brother's name, and Geneva is my husband's grandmothers name. Both passed away in the same year. Charles is the name of my husband, as well as his dad, etc. We would nickname him "Charlie", which I absolutely love. Now, Eleanor is the name my daughter is dead set on naming the child. I went down the list and she didn't like a single one save for Eleanor (thought she also said we should name it "Garbage"! Haha).

Anyway, any opinions on the names given? Any other suggestions? We like classic names, and we prefer names that aren't in the Top 10.

I love the girl's name. Eleanor is so beautiful, classic and has a lot of options.

I'm not super keen on Charles or Christopher, but it's just not my style. I'm with you - I like classic names that aren't in the top 10 but it's really difficult.
