Any suggestions to finish this sibset?
Expecting number four in November, gender still unknown. If it's a boy, he will be Henry Francis (followed by a second mn, a family surname). A girl will likely have two mns, one of which will be Margaret.
This will be a sibling to George Elliot, Adelaide Hope, and Cecily Mary Winifred.Currently loving Elinor, Millicent, and Beatrice. Thoughts and suggestions?

I love Elinor as a sib to George, Adelaide and Cecily. If you hadn't suggested it, I would have (Eleanor). ;-)

George Elliot, Adelaide Hope, and Cecily Mary Winifred are lovely names that seem to belong together. I applaud your choices. Elinor is pretty although I prefer the Eleanor spelling. Beatrice is very nice. I am not fond of Millicent. It strikes me as the name of an antagonist.Name Suggestions:
Madeline
Caroline
Samantha
Winifred
Evangeline
Victoria
Cassandra
Claudia
Elaine
Frances
Florence
Flora
Genevieve
Georgiana
Harriet
Josephine
Jemima
Louise
Portia
Rosalie
Rosemary
Pamela
Amelia
Bianca
Mary
Vera

As much as I love Millicent, I think Elinor is the perfect match to the other siblings. Even Elinor Beatrice Margaret would be swoonable!

Hmmm, I love Beatrice! Elinor is lovely, though not my favourite spelling. I don't know how I'd feel about a Millicent, though it's not a bad name I do think teasing could occur. I really like Elinor Margaret Beatrice and Beatrice Elinor Margaret. You could also try Margaret Beatrice Millicent if you're not set on Margaret being in the middle- I also quite like Elinor Millicent Margaret.
If you are only using two names in the end, I'd go for Elinor Margaret.

Tabitha

I think Elinor would go really well. I also like Beatrice, and Millicent is quite cute actually.

I prefer Elinor as it would go nicely with Margaret and it has good nick names. Other suggestions are: Willa, Clara, Evelyn, Isadora, Josephine, Sylvia, Winter, Sky, Lyra, Avery.

Eight years you've been trying to convince me to love Florence, and still a no. :)

:PChanged my mind anyway. (The two city connection started bugging me) If it's a girl, her name should be Jemima.

Elinor isn't a fave of mine and while I like Millicent, I wouldn't like Millicent and Margaret in the same combo. Beatrice is nice and definitely the best name of the three you mentioned. Other suggestions are Felicity, Hazel, Martha, Lucinda, Matilda, Louisa, Lillian, Nancy, Violet, Celeste, Charlotte, Clara, Cleo, Amelia, Annabelle, Sabrina, Sadie, Daphne, Guinevere, Jemima, Juliet, Joanna, Joy, Katherine, Imogen, Iris, Ivy, Tabitha, Tess, Rosemary, Ruth, Rosalie, Ruby, Elizabeth, Emmeline, Evelyn, Esther and Edith.

Of those three, I like Elinor. I also love Millicent - actually I love it more - but I would not want to end up with a Millie. I'd rather see Ellie or Nora or Nor.Corinna
Theodora
Lillian
Charlotte
Genevieve
Penelope
Vivienne
Juliet
Gwendolen
Clementine

I'm rather fond of Millie! However my ln starts with an M, and Millicent, or any other M name, would be either awkward or too cutesy.
Love Theodora, Lillian, Gwendolen, Genevieve, and Clementine. The lack of good nicknames for Clementine keeps it off the top of the list.

I should clarify, the boy name is set. It is girl names for which I am seeking suggestions.
