Trying to decide on middle names...the first name is DH's grandmother's name. We will most likely call her "Nora".

    Of your choices, I think the only one that flows well is Paige, even though I'm not a big fan of Paige. I think Eleanor Kate sounds good.

    I think a one-syllable MN balances out Eleanor, so I voted for Paige (not a fan of Jo)

    What about Rose? Some might call it a "filler" MN, but it's one of my favorites & works well with long first names.

    Also:

    Mae
    Jane
    Anne
    Jill
    Joy

    Pretty clear winner! We love the name Eleanor, we named our first dog Eleanor but she was only with us for a few months. I was in Macy's and a woman called for her younger daughter and it was Eleanor and I loved it!

    We did consider Kate, but DH didn't like that it sounded like a nickname...

     Glad others love the name Eleanor too! We were afraid it would sound "old lady" but determined we would just say it's "Classic" :) Grandma is VERY excited to say the least!

    Eleanor (nn Nora) is on our list too!! Though, if we do have a DD at some point, we *may* just give her the name Nora in honor of grandmother Eleanor.

    For middle names we're considering Marie, Kate, and Katherine.

    Good luck settling on a name!

    My great aunt's name is Eleanor and she goes by Ellie.  If we have a girl I will probably have Ellie as either middle or first name.

    Eleanor is a beautiful name (although I might be biased because my DD is Eleanor Patricia...nn Nora).

    We used Patricia because it's my mom's name.

    From your list I like Paige and Irene.  Good Luck!
