Me, too. Beauty and strength come to my mind when I hear 'Elanor'.

Congrats again. And I also think Elanor sounds nice - and it's not blatantly Tolkien either.

Rosie is another inconspicuous one I like.

I suppose Finduilas is out of the question.

Congratulations Morm!

I think Rian is a beautiful name so if your wife hasn't vetoed it then keep trying.

If not then maybe Elena - which is pretty mainstream and means 'of the stars'.

You could translate any ordinary name into Quenya or Sindarin. At http://www.elvish.org/elm/names.html there's a big list of names translated into Quenya.

Also, the Latin word for life is vita , not vida . However, the verb videre means to see .

Okay we just found out that we are having another girl! I guess I just keep handing out the X chromosome. Anyway the naming battle is on. Sadly, if it were a boy, we agreed, to some degree, on Beren. I'm still trying for Rian but I have my wife thinking about Miriel and Arien as she doesn't love Rian...yet!

Ah but mormegil - what greater blessing could a man have than to be like the Old Took and have Three remarkable daughters. ..exept to have enough bathrooms to ensure the minimum squabbling between the daughters...
