Eleanor - Love it! Absolutely gorgeous name, with great nickname options & goes great with your other kids!
Elizabeth (nn eliza) - Alright. I really can't get excited over Elizabeth. I'd prefer Eliza on its own.
Emma - Sweet name but very common.
Louisa - Quite pretty. Eloise is also nice & would fit the sibset.
Beatrice (nn Bea) - Very nice.
Amelia - Lovely but perhaps too close to Annabel.
Olivia - Nice but extremely overused. What about Olive?

I agree Charlotte is to close to Charlie & that it would make a lovely middle name.

Eleanor Charlotte - would be absolutely gorgeous!
Beatrice Claire
Amelia Catherine

eleanor: I love Eleanor, but I personally wouldn't use an El name with a little Annabel. I know I'd accidentally call out "Annabel and Elabel!" :-)

elizabeth (nn eliza): I LOVE Eliza and Elizabeth, but it's the El issue for me again.

emma: I do love Emma, but it's the #1 name in the country. What about Emmeline?

louisa: I love Louisa (and all of these names), and think Louisa Katherine is great!

beatrice (nn bea): I love this name, Beatrix, too, and really like Beatrice Elizabeth.

amelia: I think Amelia is really pretty, and love it with Katherine and Charlotte.

olivia: This one is too popular for me, but it's pretty...

Good luck! :-)

I think your best choices are Eleanor, Eliza, and Louisa. Though I often agree with Jill, I don't see too much of an overlap with the -el sound. I think all these names are lovely with your other children's names. Emma, Elizabeth, Olivia are too popular and even Amelia I would strike for being another A name and also being so close to Emily/Emma/Emmeline etc -- all so hugely popular. I think you should NOT use the lovely Charlotte as a middle name, due to overlap with Charlie

I forgot Beatrice/Bea! Love and perfect fit with Annabel.

I forgot Beatrice/Bea! Love and perfect fit with Annabel.

thank you all for your help!

is eleanor molner HORRIBLE, though? i forgot to mention that that's my last name. I think all the others work w molner but eleanor molner may be a LOT...

Pam, yeah, that "el" thing is just one of my name hangups. :-) I remember reading about Annette Bening and Warren Beatty naming their daughters Isabel and Ella, and saying them in succession always trips up my tongue.

Naomi, like you said, I personally don't think Eleanor Molner flows very well, but the other names flow nicely with Molner. I absolutely love, love, love your children's names! :-)
