Elise or Eleanor?

E71126 · December 2015

Hi all!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in the Spring and are team green. Elise and Eleanor are both family names and are our top picks for a girl. Which do you like better? Middle name has not been decided yet but our top pick for now is Juliet. Middle name suggestions are welcome! Our boy name is Henry Elliot if that helps

Thanks in advance!

Eleanor has been pretty popular lately but it is one of my favorites so I would still go with that. Elise is lovely too though.

They're both great, you can't really go wrong with either one.

I love both and they both sound good with Henry. Maybe pick out middle name and see which flows best?

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone! It is going to be a tough decision for sure. Both were very special women in my life and I really do love both of the names!

Both are excellent choices! Have always loved Eleanor (family name for us too) but I don't think I'd use it now because I've seen several new Eleanors, nn Ellie, on my facebook just in the last year - so popular right now. So I would go with Elise which is lovely and goes nice with Juliet too!

I know it would be a double E name which some might not like but have you thought about combining them? Eleanor Elise sounds really nice.

Huge Eleanor Roosevelt fan so I love that name

They were both on my list, beautiful choices! Eleanor is my favorite, but it is more popular. So, if you're concerned with that, Elise would be a nice solution.
