A middle name for Eleanor?
I'm expecting my third daughter in October. We've pretty much decided to name her Eleanor and call her Nora for short. I'm completely stuck on a middle name. Our last name is Davis.
Her sisters are Olivia Claire and Natalie Wynn. Both have traditional first names, but we have one classic middle and one a little more modern. Pretty much for middle names, anything goes.
So, any suggestions?
I've always loved the name Nora. El, Elle, Ellie and Ella are SO common right now, but you rarely hear of Nora. So, it's not like I dislike El (or the variations), but I like the uncommon of Nora.
Everyone - you are picking great middles! I'm going to run them by my husband after dinner and maybe we can narrow it down! :) Thanks bunches!

I love the name Eleanor! Eleanor Kate is cute, but I think it would look more classic as Eleanor Cate. Eleanor Catherine is very nice, too. Eleanor Grace Eleanor Estelle Eleanor Lauren Eleanor Georgia Eleanor Claire Eleanor Fiona Eleanor Danielle Eleanor Nicole Eleanor Jade Eleanor Jane Eleanor Margaret My favorites from my list are: Eleanor Margaret -It has similar sounds in it, so they sound very nice together. They're also classic, strong names. Eleanor Catherine/Eleanor Cate -Eleanor does sound really good with a one syllable middle name, but Catherine is also a very regal name that has the 'r' and 'n' sounds that are in Eleanor. Eleanor Estelle -It sounds very feminine and flows nicely. I don't know how you feel about the EE initials, though. Eleanor Jade -It's very different from my other ideas in case you want a more modern middle name. Hope these help!

Congratulations! We're expecting our first in January, and Eleanor is near the top of our list if it's a girl. I love it! So classic, regal, and feminine, but one you don't hear too often. (Nora is my nickname of choice, too.)
Some ideas for middles if you want to stick with one-syllable (to complement the other sisters):
Eleanor Joy
Eleanor Kate
Eleanor Jewel
Eleanor Pearl
Eleanor Blythe (means "happy")
Eleanor Belle
Eleanor Jane
Eleanor June
Eleanor Ruth
If you don't mind middles that are a bit longer:
Eleanor Catherine
Eleanor Opal
Eleanor Hazel
Eleanor Ruby
Do you have any cool family names you'd like to work in somewhere? A few of the ones I've suggested above are family names for me, which is what first got them on the list, but I've fallen in love with the way they sound with Eleanor.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

I really like Eleanor...and I like your other daughter's names too!
How about:
Eleanor Kate (or Eleanor Catherine/Kathryn)
Eleanor Judith
Eleanor Mae
Eleanor Ruby
I think Eleanor Catherine would be my favourite though!
Good luck!
