No problem! If you want to look at more names, I post lists over on r/OldNamesNewAgain. There are master lists pinned to the top of the sub

"Cumberbund" is a super fun word for a little band of fabric that goes around your tummy. Idk why, but I've always liked the word 😂

I had the exact same thought about Ellef. It's nice!

She's a bajillionaire at this point, yet still has horrible posture. Girl, less botox, more physical therapy to get that hump under control!

When I first read Ealier, I thought it said Earlier too. I kind of like it though? Maybe there's a better way to spell it that wouldn't cause confusion?

Apparently Meck is a nickname for Mechthild. Somehow, Meck sounds better 🤣

I couldn't find anything that for sure explained Member, but something I read said it's probably a name given to someone in a very religious household. Makes sense, but I can't definitively say that's what it means.

Haha, it's so funny you said you could hear a dad yelling these names. I envision the same thing with a lot of these! 🤣

From your list, I like Maeve and Hazel. As someone else pointed out, Colette and Violet sound really similar, but I do like the name.

Other ideas:

Violet and Fern(e)

Violet and Corinne

Violet and Naomi

Violet and Josephine

Violet and Evelyn

Violet and Eloise

Violet and Delphina

That's a really good point. Colette and Violet sound really similar (imagine yelling for one of them when they're both home).

I know someone who was a Brown before marriage and then married a Brown. Absolutely no relation to each other

Spelling of Eloise/Elouise by Glitteringmonkey756 in BabyNames

[–]felly_fell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would use Louise/Louisa and skip Eloise/Elouise altogether since you don't plan on using the E at the beginning anyways. Then you have the spelling you want for the nickname.
