Is Nicole a family name for you? I really LOVE Elena and it is easily the classiest, prettiest name on your list (at least IMO), but Elena Nicole is very N heavy. Coming from someone named Nicole, it is really outdated (and filler as a mn). Unless it has some importance to you, I would try to think outside the box a bit, KWIM?

I've never been particularly fond of the name "Elizabeth", but it goes so VERY PERFECTLY with "Leila", that.......it's just........so very Right.
When you find a winner, you just KNOW it.

It was that way with my first child. I sweated over names for 9 months.Only just found
the perfect name hours before the birth took place.
And after almost 18 years of saying his name, it's STILL......Perfect. When it's Right, you just KNOW it the first time you say it, it Strikes you just so.
He will turn 18 years old in June, a few days after he graduates from High School.

The name I gave him? "Daniel Ryan".

He has always been proud of his name, and loves it as much as I. It WAS Right! :-)

Hello,

No, the name Nicole is not a family Name, but Elena is my mothers name. I am just using the name Nicole, because nothing else come in my head as a middle name. Any help?

Thanks,

Gina

Knowing that Elena is your mother's name makes me love it even more for you! What a PERFECT choice!!! You should definitely include that in the name somewhere, whether you decide to use it as a first name or mn.
Good luck!

I love, love, love Elena! It was one of my favorites for DD#2, but DH didn't like it. :-P And now that I see that it's your mom's name, that's even better.

Some other middle names that might work with Elena (if you don't have another family name that would work)...

Elena Rose
Elena Danielle
Elena Josephine
Elena Simone
Elena Kathleen
Elena Joy
Elena Grace

Leila and Isabella are beautiful, too, but my first choice is Elena. Good luck finding the perfect name!

It was a tossup between Elena and Leila, then when I read that Elena is your mother's name, that made it easy.

I have to say, I love the suggestion of Elena Pearl given by Jazz. Definitely one of the loveliest underused "short but sweet" names, and it works wonderfully with Elena. ;)
