ideas?

Two of my favorite girl names are Eloise and Lucille, yet I find middle names don't flow that well with either. I actually like the combo of the two... Eloise Lucille-- but I like them enough to use them separately. And with that, are they too similar to use on siblings? That has also crossed my mind.

i've just been tossing names around for fun for the past few days. This isn't for anything in particular.

I enjoy older, traditional, classic names.

Have fun. :D



because i realized this song was ridiculously fitting.

boy named sue//johnny cash

well, my daddy left home when i was three
and he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left he went and named me Sue
Well, he musta thought that it was quite a joke
An' it got a lot of laughs from lots a folks
Seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I'll tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
I grew up quick and I grew up mean
My fist got hard and my wits got keen
I roamed from town to town to hide my shame
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man that gave me that awful name
Well, it was gatlinburg in midjuly
and i'd just hit town and my throat was dry
i thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
In and old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table dealin' stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue
Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
from a worn out picture that my mother had
and I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent and grey and old
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold, and I said,
"My name is Sue! how do you do! Now you gonna die!"
Yeah that's what I told him
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes,
And he went down but to my surprise
Came up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kickin' and a gougin' in the the mud and the blood and the beer
I tell you I've fought tougher men
but I really can't remember when
he kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
Well I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
He went for his gun but I pulled mine first
He stood there lookin at me and I saw him smile
And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough,
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along.
so I give you that name and I said goodbye,
i knew you'd have to get tough or die,
and it's that name that helped to make you strong.
now you just fought one hell of a fight,
and I know you hate me and ya got the right,
to kill me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
but you oughtta thank me before I die,
for the gravel in your gut and the spit in your eye,
'cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue."
yeah, what could I do, what could I do?
well I got choked up and threw down my gun
called him my pa and he called me his son
and I come away with a different point of view
i think about him now and then
every time I try and every time I win
and if I ever have a son
I think I'm gonna name him
bill or george any damn thing but sue
i still hate that name

Eloise Lucille sounds nice, I think!

For Eloise, which is sort of uncommon, I would go with something fairly traditional for the middle name. Eloise Amelia, Eloise Catherine, Eloise Emily, etc.

i quite like eloise catherine...

the names i've actually been thinking have been eloise mathilde (there is a meaning behind it) and lucille violet... there is a small meaning behind that, but not as significant.
