I worry that two vowels and a consonant could easily spell a word. EAT.EAR. EAU. Not offensive, but something we considered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1934448 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:09:42 +0000 Meowkers 1934448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for voting and giving your opinions everyone! I'm honestly so surprised by how many people like Aurora. I though that was the name we would get the most weird looks about. I honestly don't know how we're going to decide between all these. Although I must say this poll makes me think that maybe Anastasia is out of the running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931857 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 02:45:29 +0000 Cherrybee 1931857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: I picked Amelia. I just liked the sound of them together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931428 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 17:37:26 +0000 Ginabean3 1931428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elliott Aurora is a beautiful name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931419 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 17:31:09 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1931419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: Anastasia is growing on me, too. I like the idea of naming as a remembrance! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931392 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 17:18:05 +0000 Meowkers 1931392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: Thank you. I really like it that Aurora means sunrise. That has special significance to me.</p> <p>@erinpye: Yes we're committed to it starting with an A to honor my grandfather. There are many names I love better than these that don't start with an A but we really want to make sure my grandfather is honored in this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931351 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 17:01:35 +0000 erinpye 1931351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you married to the middle starting with A? A few of them seem like a bit of a mouth full paired with Elliott. What about something shorter like Mae? If just from that list, I'd go with Amelie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931346 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:59:26 +0000 littleblessings 1931346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elliot Aurora! Simply beautiful. Aurora is the name of a princess which your daughter will b your little princess. Also northern lights also know as Aurora Borealis is one of the most beautiful sights you could ever see </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931311 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:39:28 +0000 Meowkers 1931311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: :wink: Thanks.

I chose Aurora in the poll cuz it seems "girlier" to balance out the Elliott but I do like Amelia, too! Whichever way you go, what a pretty name she will have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931048 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:53:09 +0000 JerricaBenton 1931048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elliott Amelia has the best flow imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931029 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:45:40 +0000 coopsmama 1931029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elliott Amelia is my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931015 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:38:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1931015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Amelia and Aurora. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931014 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:38:27 +0000 cmomma17 1931014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aurora! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1931012 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:36:55 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1931012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Aurora!</p> <p>I agree with @Shutterbug: that the first 3 sound like a bit of a mouthful and Anastasia has a lot of syllables with a 3-syllable first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1930923 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:48:38 +0000 fairy 1930923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annalise! :) So pretty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1930913 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:44:19 +0000 Cole 1930913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for Amelia but I like Aurora equally as much. I really like the "a" ending with Elliott, and I love Elliott! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1930891 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:36:58 +0000 Shutterbug 1930891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Aurora because I feel like the first three sound like a bit of a mouthful (maybe it's the repeating "el" sound?) and Anastasia seems too long with a 3-syllable first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-us-chose-a-middle-name#post-1930884 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:34:22 +0000 Meowkers 1930884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter's due date is January 3rd and we've had the first name Elliott chosen pretty much from the moment we found out we were having a girl. We absolutely love it and are completely sure it's the right name.</p> <p>The middle name is a whole other matter. We have narrowed it down to 5 potential names but are completely ambivalent on all of them. We like them all equally but don't love any one more than another. I think we both feel like we would be fine with any one of them. But then how do we pick just one?</p> <p>Please vote on which of these you like best with the first name Elliott to help sway our decision :-) </p>
