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.
Thanks so much again everyone for all your comments and suggestions.
I’m sure that something on the list will be just perfect for her, if she is indeed a girl. (Like I said, we have a short list but need to look at the little creature and see what suits before we decide for sure).
MadB and my hairdresser think it’s a boy and the middle aged tradie behind me in the line at Franklins is absolutely adamant that it’s a boy, so DH and I have been working on our equally eclectic boy’s names list. I post it soon.
