A sister for Alice Violet? Just wondering what you think.
Thanks!

Eleanor is a lovely name, and this combination is great!

Every other child has Rose as a middle name at the moment. It's getting a bit boring.

I think Rose is a bit ubiquitous, but does sound great with a 3 syllable first name.

Love Eleanor. Well, it is my name! My middle name is Mary. How about that?

Totally lovely. Your first names are both in my all time favourites.

If you want to keep to the flower theme but want something less common than rose.

Or Eleanor Indigo if you want a colour theme :)

How about Eleanor Fleur for another single syllable floral name?

Eleanor is lovely.

Rose as a middle name? Really....? You can't think of anything else? Hmm

But ... there's so many beautiful girls' names out there...!

I think it's sweet. Classic, timeless, and with plenty of opportunity for nicknames etc. as and when your DD wants to use them.

Agree, Rose is common as a middle name now. My DD has it. But it was for personal reasons, not 'on trend' reasons. :)

I have one too. She's a teenager now though.

How about Eleanor Fern if you like the flowery, plant type middle names.

I know 3 Eleanor or Ellie Roses between the ages of 3 and 7.

Different middle name. Or for a first name what about Elspeth?

Eleanor Roosevelt, it sounds like. But she was a pretty remarkable woman so that's not a bad thing!

notadoctor · 01/07/2013 17:34

I absolutely love it as a combination. Maybe I'm biased because my middle name is Rose but I think it's a popular middle name because it sounds so lovely with other girl's names. I wouldn't worry about that.

Eleanor - lovely.

Rose - boring. Sorry. Just completely unimaginative. Are there any girls with a middle name other than May, Rose or Grace?

Love it. You have achieved naming perfection OP.

I am completely envious. My favourite name, and my grandmother's name, was Eleanor. Dh nixed it. So you must, must use it!
