Speaking of old-fashioned girl names...

What are your thoughts on these options:

Margaret (nn Maggie) Lucille

Helen Lucille

Abigail Lucille

MN of Lucille is set, in honor of my late grandmother.  Last name starts with T and older brother is Elliott.  Thanks for your opinions and any other suggestions!  :)

Love Julia & Maggie.

Like Abigail but it's popular (you might not mind).

Dislike Helen and Marie

Abigail I think goes best with Elliott. Only because it has the same amount of syllables.

I think all "Jul" names are gorgeous - Julia, Juliet, Julianna - so Julia gets my vote :).

Right now, Margaret is my #1 girl name, so that would be my choice.

The others are nice sounding as well, though!  Nice list!

Definitely Helen Lucille.  I love Helen.  I like all of your fns though, except Abigail (not a bad name, I've just never liked it).

They are all nice names!

With the middle name, my order of preference (based on flow) is:

Margaret Lucille

Abigail Lucille

Marie Lucille

Helen Lucille

Julia Lucille (I don't think it flows as well as the others, no idea why) 

ETA: If your last name starts with a "t" sound, you should make sure it sounds ok with Margaret, since that ends in a "t" sound. You don't want the names to mush together when spoken. Also, if ds is Elliot, Elliot and Margaret are kind of matchy/sing-songy. Something else to consider.

Let's start with how much I love Elliott. One of the greatest boy names ever. I can't name my kid Elliott Edward otherwise that would be a frontrunner for us. LOVE Elliott.

These are all gorgeous names. Seriously. I'm not a huge fan of Abigail bc that always turns into Abby which is just meh to me but that's just a personal preference. Certainly nothing wrong with it.

Maggie Lucille slays me. That is beyond precious. And she can use Margaret as a professional name when she's older. Julia and Helen are both on my girl list as well.

If I had to rank them (and only if you make me!): Julia, Helen, Margaret, Marie, Abigail.

Love all of them. You won't go wrong.
