Other daughter wanted to name her sister, “Ellie”
Eloise sounded like an original name that was less common

Family /others not sure how to read it upon seeing the spelling and thinking it’s, “E Lois”

She’s healthy and strong!

We had a lot of elegant, old fashioned names in mind and thought Eloise was pretty, and she’s a little sister to a Penelope which it sounded nice with. Not intentionally Bridgerton character names but, it ended up that way. Haha. Coincidentally also, Eloise means “healthy and wide” (in some translations) and she was definitely a big healthy baby! So it was meant to be. 🙂

Ever since I was about 10 I ‘ve loved that name and always said I would name my girl that if I had one! Comes from my favorite series when I was little “Eloise in the plaza”

The first time I remember hearing the name I was watching Lost several years ago. Ever since then I decided it was a name I wanted to use and added it to my running list of baby names I keep on my phone (everyone does that, right!?)
I love the classic sound and the fact that it’s just uncommon enough that most people have heard it before but she probably won’t have three other friends with the same name.
The year me and my husband got married, my favorite artist (Penny + Sparrow) came out with a song called Eloise!! It has nothing to do with my baby but it made it special and I listened to it a lot when I was pregnant

I’m not sure really how we ended up with Eloise on our list but my older daughter was a big fan of the movies when she was little. My older daughters and I loved the name but it took some time to get dad on board. Everyone loves the name after they hear the pronunciation but it has been difficult getting her doctors offices ect to learn how its pronounced.

  Ha I was born in 1949. My mom name and her mother was Ella. My mom was married and my dad name began with an E, and his last name. my brother who was born before me was named after our dad. Needless to say she wanted my name with an E. Growing up the doctors, etc. . said everything except Eloise!!

We love the meaning of her name (healthy/warrior), the many options for nicknames.

I first heard the name through the classic children’s storybooks about a mischievous little girl. I thought the name was beautiful. When my husband and I found out we were having a girl we first considered the name Eleanor, but since it had risen in popularity in recent years we wanted to go with something else classic but less popular. So we chose Eloise. I love the meaning–warrior. And it is not a common name, so people always comment on it in a positive way when we introduce our daughter.
