I actually really like them all!

Hopefully it's Eloise Leigh rather than Legh!

Grace Isabella is kind of boring, but both names are nice enough - just common.

Could Legh be the mother's maiden name?

I checked old BAs and sister is Ariana Legh, so Legh is probably a mother’s maiden name or a family last name (it’s not mentioned in the BAs though).

Legh with that spelling = legit UK last name

Yes, I looked it up and the sister has the same middle name, so it probably is a family last name.
How is it pronounced?

Not 100% sure, but would say it's probably Lee.

Wow! Three girls named Florence! That's nice to see, especially Florence Lucy Honour is quite a refreshing old-fashioned combo.
Glad to see some parents using Eloise too, it's so pretty. Rather like all of these names. :)
