In an ideal world, they're all lovely.

Thanks, that is why we are NOT going with any kind of an Ellie/Ella nn for Eleanor. I don't think Nora is all that much on the upswing and we should be able to avoid the masses.

I love Margaret nn Greta, but DH hates Margaret, so it would be Greta as a stand alone name.

Thanks again, it is tough when you are ahead of the curve.

My name is Bridget and I'm super cool... I vote Bridget :)
My friends used to call me Birdie Tweet tweet, and I've always been short so Bridget the Midget (there is also a horrible song with this title). The names never bothered me though, and I think kids will come up with names for any name. I have only known 2 other Bridget's. My Dad also didn't go for the name Bridget. My Mom had another 4 years between my sister and I to work on him. I know the meaning as "Lady of Strength" and "Godess of Fire". Also, it goes with Aiden. I do love all your choices by the way. Good luck!!!

As the mom of an Eleanor, it was my first pick. She's now 8 & has yet to meet another Eleanor that was close in age-most we meet are in their 60s or older. Most important she loves her name. Her nn is Ella-which in 1997 was LOWER on the SSA rankings then Eleanor! Wish we would have gone with Nora instead, but we had no idea what an explosion of Ella's their would be.
