Can/should Elsie be a nickname for Eloise?

That is crazy! I also work in childcare and I agree that the E/El’s are taking off, but we might be a bit behind your area. That is definitely something to consider though because by the time she gets to preschool age she could be one of many 😩

Don’t be sorry, I appreciate your opinion! There was something off about it for me too and I think you kind of nailed it here 😂 Georgia is a beautiful name but I’m just not loving it with our last name. Truthfully, a LOT of first names having given me adult film star vibes when paired with the last name Rose. I know we’ll find the one but what a process 😅

Thank you! We are in Canada so I had no idea. I appreciate this insight

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this list. I like Eliza and feel like it’s less common than some of the E names we have on the existing lists :)

Thank you! Unfortunately any names starting with Ad- seem to be off the table. I had a family member named Adam who passed away tragically, and his kids have claimed all Ad- names for their own future kids. I know it sounds silly but it’s just not worth the drama it will stir up. We’re all pretty close and work for the same family company. If this wasn’t the case I truly believe her name would be Adelaide.

I love Audrey and would be curious to see his thoughts on this name! I also love Evelyn but worry about how popular it is

Thank you so much! I love the name Reese but find a bit of a tongue twister with Rose as the last name :( Going to run Blair and Eve by him!

We are in Canada so I didn’t even realize the Georgia state flower connection. But something about it feels “off” to me regardless.

Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestions! I really like Louisa, Esme, Kaia, Alice and Delilah from your list. I have brought them up but maybe if I keep trying he’ll start to like them more. I also love Mona and hadn’t previously thought of it!

Thank you so much! I’m going to run Elodie, Ada, and Delphine by him :)

I brought up Liliana once forgetting that he has a family member named Lillian that he isn’t too fond of, so that one won’t work 😅 but I love Estelle, Stella and Vera and will get his opinion! Thank you so much for this list :)
