Thoughts on Eloise
For context I am in the UK. I always thought Eloise was a bit of an old/classic name, but well known and not so incongruous that people would seem surprised by it or mispronounce it. It's my baby daughter's name. But I guess I was wrong because it gets regularly butchered (best so far is a GP calling her Elois-ee, but I regularly get Louise as well) and people look really confused whenever I introduce her. Like they'll go "oh, El...oise?". Maybe 3 people have reacted saying it was a pretty name. Not that I expect everyone to love it, but I thought at least they'd know it, especially since Bridgerton (although to clarify Bridgerton is NOT the reason I named my daughter Eloise!). Anyway, thoughts?
edit to add that I am French and my husband is British, so we wanted a name that worked in both languages. The French version of the name is Héloïse. I wanted this spelling but my husband vetoed it 😩 it's a fairly well-known name in France but not hugely common.
