Help[Opinions] Another BA from same friend I've talked about previously
One of my friends I've mentioned a few times over the last few years just had her third baby. It was a surprise one, she got pregnant with her very shortly after the 2nd one. The baby is struggling with some health complications so send positive vibes.
Eldest to youngest:
Whyatt Edward Jean Hudson LN - age 3
Eloise Elizabeth Catherine LN - 13 months "Ellie"
Lillian Marie LN - newborn "Lilly"
Kind of interesting how each consecutive kid has 1 less middle name actually. But yeah, Baby Lilly is struggling a bit with her health so send positive vibes out into the world for the little one if you believe in that stuff ✨️ She's getting better at least.
Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.

Well, I sure do hope she is better soon.
Truly, her name feels like a surprise baby. It's just very generic and basic. The others are pretty bland too but they feel like a little bit more thought was put into them.
Ellie and Lily are individually nauseatingly sweet, but as sisters, it's too much.

Wy is there an h in Wyatt?
Four given names are too many even for me. I was advised to give my children two middle names by a lady who lived in Portsmouth and had worked during the War, contacting the family members of deceased or missing sailors. She said that she'd had to work through many pages of John Smith, a lot of pages of John William Smith, and just one single entry for John William Edward Smith, and with a common surname like mine, I should seriously consider making life easier for people who might have to work through lists one day! Her nephew, a good friend of mine, is Peter Kenneth Charles LN; I could see her point, and mine have three given names each.
Eloise, Elizabeth and Catherine are all lovely, but I'd have preferred Eloise Catherine Elizabeth.
Lilian is fine; Lillian is one L too many, and the same applies to Lilly. Lilian Marie is better; Lilian Mary would have pleased me more.
I'm sure I've rated your lists, but I'll check right now.

I was as eyebrow raised at the Whyatt spelling too... don't get me wrong. But it's what she liked apparently. But I think Wyatt would have been better, yeah
Middle names are not typical in my family, my grandparents, my mother and aunt all had one name. Of our generation, my brother was the only one with a second name, so it's interesting to see 3 middle names. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of "Whyatt" especially with that spelling, but Edward Jean Hudson flow really well. Eloise Elizabeth Catherine sound like royalty (in a good way) and I love the nn Ellie. It's sweet and I like the contrast with the formality of her full names. Lillian Marie is also lovely, though compared to her siblings the name feels a bit sparse when written next to each other like that. Honestly, though, Whyatt, Ellie and Lily work well as a sibset. I really hope little Lily gets better.
