[Opinions] Re: Elinor
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Elinor best too, but Eleanor is fine. It's top 100 here. My niece is one. When she was named (after a relative) they weren't so common, and it's still not as common as Ellie as a full name, which was super popular here for ages.Yes, Summer Rose and Summer Rain are cheesier than a dairy full of cheeses in Cheesetown. But a) who cares and b) I can't really comment as I secretly love Heulwen Haf, and Heulwen in general. :Deta full confession: and Enfys Haf!

You'll be in a position to know, Pie: is there any likelihood that a baby girl might have been born some time last weekend (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) and named Jubilee Summer Rain? It would go so well with a Corgi-shaped china ornament.

According to my aunt it was more like Jubilee Downpour. She and my cousin went and were drenched. :)
1887 and 1897 saw a whole load of little Jubilees born - boys and girls, Jubilee James struck me as cheery. Several Jubilee Victorias, of course. Jubilee Diamond! Heehee and a Jubileena.eta Oh dear, Jubilee Fanny

Surely you jest? Or was she one of the 1887 crop, in more innocent days?Jubileena sounds like a wine-free wine gum.

Oh all 1887 and 1897. 1977 scored hardly any Jubilee-names, and I can't see many happening this year in the UK - people naming now are just not as patriotic as the Victorians. Or as much fun!
