[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]

I think that the name [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is a perfect [name_m]French[/name_m] but not too [name_m]French[/name_m] name for a beautiful 3rd daughter!

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]

[name_f]Willow[/name_f]

From your list, I like the following best (and in order of preference) with [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]:

[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f]
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u]
[name_f]Daniella[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]

Here’s why I would drop the rest (although many of them are great names):

[name_f]Ellen[/name_f] - too similar to the ending of [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - too similar to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] - [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] are a little too close for me
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] - to similar to [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] ending
[name_f]Hailey[/name_f] - not as classically feminine as [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kylie[/name_f] - too trendy (see above)
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] - too unisex
[name_f]Alyssa[/name_f] - too similar to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] - dislike another M name
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] - too unisex
[name_f]Malia[/name_f] - starts with M and too similar to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] - too unisex
[name_f]Charli[/name_f] - too unisex on it’s own (I like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] nn [name_f]Charli[/name_f] though)
[name_f]Celine[/name_f] - ending too similar to [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Jolie[/name_f] - to cute-- not as classic as [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]

Hm… Okay. Here are some french(ish) names:

[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_u]Josie[/name_u])
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] (though you might not want this one since [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]'s mn is [name_f]Claire[/name_f])
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]

Here’s a few tricks for if you can’t decide on a name (yes, I learned them online)

  • Make a huge list of names you like. Have your wife do the same on the same sheet of paper. Highlight your absolute favorite names from both lists in pink, and your wife can do it in blue. Then go on from the purple names.
  • If you have enough names, take 31ish names and number them. Depending of which day DD is born on will be her name (for example if she was born on [name_u]March[/name_u] 12th and the twelfth name on the list is [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], then that would be her name)
  • Use a random online name generator. You could input your own names, or start from scratch and get ideas from there.
    Good luck!

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the two names you’ve chosen so far. Personally, I’d continue with another three syllable name and try to avoid a name beginning with an M or an O. I think it would add cohesion to find a name contains another “l” as bth you girls’ names share that consonant. Here are some suggestions:

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and…

3 syllable names containing letter “l”
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_u]Julianne[/name_u]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Annelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Anabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Daniella[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Nicolette[/name_f]
[name_f]Emeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

33

As promised, I’m posting our decision. We decided on [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] to go with [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

34

Aw! That is a perfectly matched set and a great name!

35

Thank you to the forum for coming through for us! You all are awesome!

37

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is the perfect choice with her sisters’ names.

38

Why do you want something [name_m]French[/name_m]-sounding? Here where I’m from, a [name_m]French[/name_m]-sounding name on someone that is of non-[name_m]French[/name_m]-speaking origin spells C-H-A-V (e.g. [name_f]Chantelle[/name_f], [name_f]Chardonnay[/name_f], [name_f]Rochelle[/name_f])
Sorry to be blunt about this but that’s the way of the world and I can’t control that :frowning:

What about [name_f]Odalys[/name_f]? [name_f]Henriette[/name_f]?

39

Congratulations on your decision! It’s a beautiful name and it goes so wonderfully with [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] :slight_smile:
