What's a good middle name for Eleanor?
It can't start with E or L and a Hebrew name is a big plus (ie the English version of a Hebrew name for example Elizabeth is Elisheva in Hebrew, or Eleanor is Elinor in Hebrew and means "my light is God"). I think 2 syllables would work best since Eleanor has 3.

thanks, I'll see what my fiance thinks of it.

thanks

Hm. Personally I would go for a single syllable name, but I just like short names in general. I think Selah is a beautiful Hebrew name, as is Sharon. This site http://www.thinkbabynames.com/search/0/hebrew has a lot of options for you to look at. HTH

oooh thanks, I was looking for that site before and I couldn't remember the name of it!

[kelkie.livejournal.com]

i think it would sound best with a one-syllable name as well. i keep thinking eleanor jane.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks, I'll suggest that to my fiance.

I keep thinking "Eleanor Jane" as well.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Fiance suggested Eleanor Violet, what do you think?

[eleanorgrace.livejournal.com]

My middle name is Grace. (And my first name is Eleanor.) My surname is two syllables and I think it has a nice rhythm.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

you have a lovely first name!
thanks for the suggestion

I had thought of Eleanor Grace :)

Lovely name.

I can't help much on this one - I keep getting the name "Rigby" stuck in my head from the Beatles song "Eleanor Rigby" (VERY beautiful song, by the way)...but yeah...nothing will let that name budge from my head.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol!

[hacketts-girl.livejournal.com]

Haha - I think it's funny how STUCK it is, lol

I knew a nice girl when I went to camp named Aviva. Maybe Eleanor Aviva?

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

That's actually a combo my fiance suggested because he knows I love the name Aviva.

I love how Eleanor Rose sounds.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

that is nice :)

we've decided to name our daughter Eleanor (after some back & forth, maybe you remember from my posts - or not. lol)

we're debating btw Eleanor Margaret (Margaret being my grandma's name)
and Eleanor Elizabeth (his mom's name, though that's not even why he likes it) - so I thought it was funny you brought up both those names in this post.

but since you are not us, that's probably not so much helpful. lol

um how about:

Eleanor Adana
Eleanor Alannah
Eleanor Ioanna
Eleanor Keturah
Eleanor Mattea
Eleanor Moriah
Eleanor Naomi
Eleanor Samantha
Eleanor Shavonne/Siobhan
Eleanor Shoshana
Eleanor Simone

all the mn's taken from that thinkbabynames Hebrew name list. those were just the ones I thought sounded nice.

and now I'm considering Siobhan too ;p

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Eleanor Simone has a nice ring to it. I'll suggest it to the fiance. He suggested Eleanor Violet to me the other day and I like it even though Violet is not a Hebrew name.

Of your two I like Eleanor Margaret alot.
With Eleanor Elizabeth the double Els is a little much for me.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

and we have a winner!
Fiance tentatively agreed to Eleanor Simone.
I think it sooooo nice.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

I feel the same way about the double E. and it would make her initials EEB, as in rhymes with Dweeb or something lol (I'm not all THAT worried about that part, but it just popped into my mind.)

I really like the way Eleanor Simone sounds and am now also considering Eleanor Siobhan for us (it has a similar ring to it.)

haha I think up until it's on the birth certificate it could be tentative. we thought we knew what we wanted to name this one for quite a few months and it changed with less than two to go. ;p

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I'm so greatful to you for suggesting Simone, I'd never thought of it before and I thought I had considered all the Hebrew girl's names possible.

It's nice in Hebrew as well "Elinor Shimona".

Eleanor Siobhan is really nice, if that's what you end up deciding :)

We're picking out names now before we're married but who knows how I will feel when I am actually pregnant!
lol I don't *think* I'll change my mind on Eleanor Simone though, I think it's so pretty and timeless. Also her intials will be ESS which I think is okay.
