MN help for Eloise

Newbie here....My DH and I love Eloise for a girls name, but are trying to decide on a mn. DH wants to honor his very close, deceased grandmother by using the name Gloria.  I think that Gloria Eloise flows better than Eloise Gloria, but prefer Eloise for the first name. What is your opinion?  Does Eloise Gloria (2 syllable last name) sound ok?

    I think that since it is a family name and has meaning, you should use it as the middle name. Is it the name that "flows" the best with Eloise? No. But I think it definitely sounds okay and LOVE Eloise as a FN. Good luck!

    I love Eloise.  I think Eloise Gloria is very pretty.  And even if you still think it doesn't flow, just think about how often a first & middle name are actually said together.  Not all that often.  Good luck!

    Eloise Gloria sounds fine. If you are going to call her Eloise definitely don't pick Gloria Eloise just because it sounds better. Love Eloise BTW!

    Go with Eloise Gloria. The flow is fine, imo. FWIW, my LO is Eloise Diana (same syllables), and we've never had any issues with the sound of it. GL!

    I think it's fine, a family connection trumps "flow" IMO, and the flow is fine anyway.

     

    If you prefer you could always use Glory, which is a variant of Gloria.

    I think that it sounds nice and would be very sweet to use a family name.
