Love Caedmon! My husband would NEVER agree to it, but such a joy for a History of English/Medieval Lit nerd like me.
I love Dove and Paloma. I recently read a book where two sisters are named Columbine and Paloma – I thought it was a very clever pairing and Dove would be a great third sister for the sibset.

I love Dove. My top boy-combination is Albert Dove, actually. I think Paloma is nice, too. Not something I’d use, but nice nonetheless.
And I really like Elle as a nickname for Eloise/Elodie.
Caedmon has always been a favorite of mine. And Paloma is one I am always admiring.
Elisabeth, what do you think of Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen’s new baby girl’s name? Elula – I have never heard of it before, but it reminds me of your wee cherub Eulalie!
I hadn’t heard, and can’t find anything on the internet about it! Tell me, what are your sources Foxymoron? Elula is pretty, but new to me. I got a couple of 19th century references, and I have to wonder if it’s a take on Eulalia.
I can’t reveal my source unfortunately! But I promise they are reliable. Olive and Elula as a sibset surprised me. I wonder if they will end up calling her Ellie or something like that. Elula seems like a mouthful to me!
I just came across the name Elula in The Complete Book of Baby Names. It is in the “Jewish names” section. No meaning or history given, although a bit of Googling reveals that it may be a name found in the Bible. It does make sense to me that they chose a Jewish name, since Isla converted to Judaism to marry Sacha.
Crazy! So it’s someone who knows them? I think it’s interesting and melodic, but prefer Eulalie.
Elula is an odd name, even as a Hebrew name. I’m Jewish, and I’ve never heard it before. It is not Biblical at all. I would assume it comes from the month of Elul on the Hebrew calendar, which would roughly correspond to the month of August on the secular calendar.
I would also assume that the baby was born in August, since Isla looked about four months in the paparazzi photos taken of her shortly after her wedding in March. I suppose that this is the equivalent of naming a spring baby April–which I think was the name of a character that Isla played in that movie with Ryan Reynolds and Abigail Breslin (who played a little girl named Olive in a different movie.)
