i actually know an April who is born in April! and her mum is July and she was born in July! both names really suit them.
i also think Eleanor goes really well with Angus & Harriet, same type of feel to it iykwim
I used to have a little cat named antoinette, which reminded me I had a cat named Josephine and still have a dog named felicity. Which is annoying as now I can't use them for my own babies!
Eleanor and Angus do go really well together. That is in fact, my DD's full name! Her middle name is Edith, which I loved as first name too, with nickname Edie. Also one our list were Millicent Mary, Margaret Maeve and Evelyn Elizabeth. No I don't have a thing for alliteration, it just kind of worked that way. Jemima, Imogen and Juliet are on our list for later on, should it be required.
But I am thrilled that so many people love Eleanor. FWIW I intensely dislike the nicknames Ellie and Elle. She gets Nellie, and maybe down the track Nell. And probably, as a rebellious teen, she will go with Elle to annoy me. I'm fully expecting that.
I love Eleanor, Miranda, Lucinda and Sydney - Sydney was what we were going to call DS2 had he been a girl. And the other 3 go perfectly with the names of the other kids.
