What do you think of Eleanor and Sophie as a sibset?

I don't care for Sophie at all. I'd much prefer to go with Charlotte, or the like, if sticking with that type of name.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Charlotte but my fiance doesn't.

Like Shopie HATE Eleanor.

thanks for your input :)

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

Lovely.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks :)
We're putting Eleanor on top of our girls' list for sure and I really like Sophie as well and am trying to convince my fiance to put it on the girls' list as well.

Sophie is okay but I would probably prefer with Sophia as it sounds more grown up for the future...and Sophie could still be used as a nn. I'm not crazy about Eleanor, but it does sound very distinguished and has cute nn possibilities. They're cute together.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm sure we'll use alot of nick names for Eleanor. Elle, Elly, Ella, Nelly etc

The weird thing is that though I like Sophie I don't like Sophia cos it seems too old lady to me.

[delababy.livejournal.com]

really??! Eleanor sounds so old lady to me and Sophia sounds young and hip.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol
oh well

Sophia seems very Spanish or Italian to me. Not that that's a bad thing, it just doesn't sound like what you are going for.

Interestingly, I always think of Sophia pronounced Sof-EYE-ah, as in Sophia Smith, who founded Smith College.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I work at a school with a large Italian population and there are a few girls named Sofia so it is Italian sounding to me as well.

lol

I don't love the names but they do go well together.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks, I really think the go together.

[mandyjalo.livejournal.com]

Love them both. :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

:) I agree

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

Not sure. I like both names, but Sophie not as much. They sound/look nice together. I like Sophia better, Sophie seems like a nickname.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

They go well together, although I hate Eleanor and am kind of meh about Sophie.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol well at least you think they go together.
What do you think of Seraphina, that's another name I really like?

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I think it's pretty.

I should say that I only dislike Eleanor due to bad associations I think. Every Eleanor I've ever known has been a total bitch!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

that's good to know. I totally understand what you mean about association because part of the reason that I like Eleanor is that I have never met anyone by that name so it has no associations for me.

Very Jane Austen-ish. :0)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

that would be Elinor and Marianne ;)

[stormimay.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean they were straight from one of her books, I meant it sounded like the types of names she used for sisters. Trust me: I know my Jane Austen characters. lol

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

lol I was only teasing, hence the winky face.
The funny thing is that my fiance suggested Eleanor Jane as a combo, now that sounds REALLY Jane Austen-ish to me!
But that just actually makes me like it more lol

[fantomes.livejournal.com]

I love them both, and I think they sound great together. :) Eleanor and Sophia would work beautifully together as well.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input :)

[tokossel.livejournal.com]

they do go well together. i do prefer sophia. :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks for your input :)

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I love them. I rather prefer Elinor because there was a girl at my school growing up named Eleanor and all the boys called her Ell-e-anus.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Elinor and Eleanor but fiance likes Eleanor better so that's why I chose that spelling.
