We’re expecting our second girl in [name_f]April[/name_f], but we are having such a hard time finding a name we both like (really finding any girl name my husband likes). Our daughter is [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and it was so easy finding her name - such a different experience this time! No names seem to be coming even close to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].
The name we had picked out for this baby if she’d been a boy was [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], but we were also really liking [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. I love [name_f]Flora[/name_f] for baby, but my husband thinks it’s weird. I also really like [name_u]June[/name_u], but he’s not such a fan. The only names he’s mentioned he likes for her are [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], but I’ve just never been a fan of either. Our last name is one syllable and starts with a W and ends with an S, so we don’t want a name that starts with W or I and we don’t want it to end was an S sound. Please help!!
If [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] was your boy name what about using it for a girl? [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] doesn’t seem too out there for a sister to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and it would sound great with [name_f]Flora[/name_f]/[name_f]Florence[/name_f]. [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f].
My first thought was [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] go beautifully together :).

I wouldn’t choose [name_f]Luna[/name_f] - it’s spread to pet world (it, [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] etc very common for pets). [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] is beautiful but I get if you want something a little less traditional.
I love the name [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]! [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] & [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] sound sweet. I agree with your hubby in avoiding more flowery/noun names.
I love the name [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. It is such a perfect name, and it is lovely with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] as a middle. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] was the name we had picked out for our first baby had he been a girl. Here are some of my favorite pairings.

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
What about [name_f]Leona[/name_f] or [name_f]Leora[/name_f]? Seems like a compromise between [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f]! Or [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] – that’s a nice cross between [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] too.
I also really like [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Gia[/name_f] or [name_f]Cate[/name_f] for you.
Thank you all so much! There were so many wonderful suggestions that we hadn’t thought of, and some that made us reconsider them. The names from all your list that we both agree on are [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], and [name_f]Edith[/name_f]. We also really like [name_f]Nora[/name_f], but it does bug me that it’s a nickname for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]’s middle name Thank you all, again!
Thank you all, again!
