I really LOVE old fashioned classic style names. Most of the names on my list fit that category. Its also very important to me to honor my family when choosing names for my children.

Both my Grandparents on my moms side are from New Brunswick and therefore have really fun traditional names

MY grandfathers name is Edward and that is also my dads middle name so I will be using that!

As for girls there are a ton of fun options.

My grandmothers name is Ellen Jane Flynn
My Fiances grandmother is Janet Eileen
and my grandmother on my dads side is Margaret

Im very close with all these women and Id love to name my daughter after them

Here are some of the options tell me what you think

Evelyn
Eleanor / Elenore
Elisabeth
Ella
Elle

Combos

Evelyn Marta
Eleanor Margaret
Elisabeth Ann (my middle name and my moms middle name) call her Ella
Elisabeth Jane
Elisabeth Eileen - call her ellie
Ella Flynn


What do you think of each, which are your favorites.. any other middle name ideas?

I'm not a fan of the name Eileen, but I rather like the Elisabeth Eileen combo. I just like how it sounds. xD

Eleanor Margaret is my favorite...very classy all around. Perfect!

i like elisabeth jane a lot :)

This combo isn't in your list, but I love Evelyn Margaret. I think it flows so beautifully and maybe the nickname could be "Evie." &hearts &hearts

I LOVE Evelyn, and Ella is nice too.

Evelyn Jane
Ella Jane
Evelyn Elisabeth

My sister's name is Eleanor, so I adore it! We call her Ellie.

Ella Flynn kind of sounds like elephant. =/

I agree, Eleanor Margaret sounds great!

i really love both ella and ellie. i might like ellie a bit more, just because it isnt as popular.

ella flynn is really nice, i also like the way ella jane sounds.

and ive always loved the spelling of elisabeth, far far more than with a z.

Eleanor Margaret is my fave. I adore it. My MN is Margaret, and I hate it. But I love it with Eleanor. Wow.

*stunned*

All of your combos are great. I think that Elle and Ella are too short and cutsey to stand on their own, however they'd make great nn's for any of the other names on your list.

i'm liking the elisabeth ann, call her ella option, although it's a little strange...
I adore Evelyn, it's such a grown up, sophisticated name & Evie suits a little girl so perfectly!
Evelyn Jane is lovely, i dont like any of the other middle name options, apart from Flynn which is cute, but Evelyn Flynn is too rhyming.

I LOVE Evelyn. I think that's so pretty. Elisabeth is great too.

I think Evelyn Margaret could work. Or Evelyn Jane. I also like Elisabeth Ann.

Ella is so pretty! I have never been a fan of Elisabeth, but Ella, or using Ella as a nn for Eleanor is beautiful!

I really like Ella Flyn.
I think that Elizabeth Jane seems a bit dull and ordinary.
Even though I wouldn't use it, Elisabeth is a really good name because there are SO many nicknames that you can use from it.
I like Evelyn, and it goes nicely with Marta. But I can't help but think there is another name that it would go better with, I don't know what though.
I also like Elenor, but not Margaret.
