[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_u]Simcha[/name_u]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Angharad[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
what a lovely meaningful name Love that your using variations of your loved oneās.
Loooove the double middles on all of theseš¤ this one in particular sounds straight out of a fairy tale- Rose is definitely charming and romantic and would go so well with your daughterās name
and Christabel is a stunning meaningful name
I adore both of these !!! your naming style is absolute perfectionš¤ Iām jealous!
love that both you and your SO played an equal role in choosing this name! Emily, Claudia, Tess and Annie make such a perfect set!
what a perfect set!! Especially fond of Lucy Mae
so many gems on your list! Loving Ivy, Maisie, Lavender and of course Sunniva Indigo
oh my goodness vivi what a stunning list! Eleanore Wildflower is precious and super cool. And Caroline Emrys ?? Your combos are perfect!
What a beautiful meaning!! Your whole list is so dreamy. Lilac Seraphine sounds like a storybook character
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Delphi[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is perfect.
Iāve loved [name_m]Cagney[/name_m] since I was twelve!
I often wonder why one name goes to the top, say, [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], but not [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] but not [name_f]Thomasina[/name_f]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but not [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f]. [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] is my absolute favorite 3+ syllable name. [name_f]Glad[/name_f] itās underused.
today it would be something like thisā¦
charlotte jane - something about this combo just keeps me coming back to it. not only is charlotte my all-time favorite name for a girl. jane also has a meaning which personally means a lot to me; god is gracious. jane is also a variation of john, which is my dadās first name, so it could be taken as an honor name (although not really intentional). the nickname lottie is also just adorable
evangeline felicity - the name honors my brother, because his initials (fn + mn) are also e.f., the name also just fits in perfectly with the others. i also love the meaning of both names. evangeline means; bearer of good news and felicity means; good fortune. the name is just everything i could want in a name, i also adore the nickname evie.
matilda wren - honors one of my favorite books, and recently one of my favorite songs (matilda by harry styles). not only that, but it also has a gorgeous meaning; battle-mighty. i donāt think iāll ever be able to put into words how much the name matilda truly means to me.
rosalie kate - thereās not a whole lot of depth behind the name, mostly i just enjoy the imagery i get from it. i also think it works well with the other names, it has the same classic feel to it. in a way, i suppose you could say itās a slight honor toward myself, although not intentional, rosalie is derived from rose which is a flower name, just like my own name (daisy). itās also a french variation that honors my momās side of the family, and just the language which i love to speak.
Clara Susanne: I love Clara. Susanne is to honor my mom.
Phoebe Marguerite: I love Phoebe. Marguerite is to honor a family member since it means Daisy in French.
Eleanor Reese: I love Eleanor. Itās probably my 2nd favorite girls names after Stella. I wouldnāt use Stella and Eleanor as sisters because of the shared āEllaā but I love it so much that I had to include it. I love Nora or Leni as nicknames. Reese is to honor a family member.
Stella Dawn: Stella is probably my favorite girls name but I wonāt ever be able to use it because I have a young family member name Stella. Dawn honors a family member.
I decided to ask my mom this question, too, and her responses did not disappoint. Marmee is a great namer, I think. Here is her quartets of girls, two already born, two hypothetical.
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (me)
Named for our maternal great-great-grandmother (Hazel) and our paternal great-grandmother (Elizabeth, who always went by Lil).
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (my sister)
Named for our maternal grandmother (Olivia) in the middle spot. Her first name is just one our parents loved, which happens to be a color and flower name, just like older sisterās is.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]
Another color and flower name in the first name spot. Honors an important family middle name on Marmās paternal and maternal sides (Louise)!
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_u]Merit[/name_u]
Another color and flower name in the first name spot. Honors a family middle name on our Marmās paternal side of the family (Merit), passed to generations for both female and male middles.
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
Weād be a little garden of girls! Iām really loving these names together, as well as this prompt. Oh, swoon!
You have such lovely names!! Iāve also posted about the name [name_f]Melody[/name_f] because I compose songs
I actually am from a family of 4 girls!!! Here are the names Iād go withā¦
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Allison/Alice [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_u]Ivy[/name_u]
I chose these names because they have the same beautiful, girly, biblical, frilly, and vintage feel to themš
Lately, Iāve been feeling these:
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] - [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is one of my all-time favorites ā itās traditional and sweet, with a great meaning and a lovely ballet connection. [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] is for my mother.
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is just an old-fashioned name that I really love, and [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] is inspired by [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables (very special to me and my mother and sisters), but I also really love its meaning!
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - [name_f]Silvia[/name_f] is a family name (one of my great-great-grandmothers), and it has become a new favorite of mine, as I really love to pull names from way back in the family tree. Besides, itās graceful and elegant and old-fashioned, which is just my vibe. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is also a current obsession of mine ā I usually prefer [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], but [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] seems so lovely right now! And I think it pairs beautifully with my [name_f]Silvia[/name_f].
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is a long-time love of mine, and I really love it as a way to get the nickname Nell/Nellie, which honors my great-grandmother. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is an old favorite of mine with a pretty meaning and a cool connection to Greek mythology. But, okay, the biggest reason I chose [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] was to complete the pattern I unintentionally set with the other three middle names!
This was hard for me and required a lot of thought. I decided to use some names I donāt usually talk about, which was fun!
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Junia[/name_f] [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]- [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] is a name my husband suggested that I had never heard before (but yall certainly have), I think itās gorgeous and fits in well with a lot of different styles. I love it! [name_f]Junia[/name_f] is a nod to a family name, [name_u]June[/name_u], and [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] is just a fun flower name!
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Maven[/name_u]- I heard [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] in the movie [name_u]Love[/name_u] Actually, played by [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] Moniz. The way everyone says [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] in that movie is so pretty and I now associate Christmastime with [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (as well as the sunflower season.) [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is getting really popular where I live, but I think itās really pretty and makes a great middle name. I love the strong goddess feel. I got the name [name_u]Maven[/name_u] when I heard [name_u]Tracy[/name_u] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] talk about his daughter, [name_u]Maven[/name_u] on the Today show. I thought it was really pretty!
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]- This is the epitome of a ābad@ss princess nameā IMO. I got [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] from (of course the goddess) but also [name_u]Allison[/name_u] Russellās song of the same name. I donāt normally listen to country, so I took it as a sign to look the name up and see if I would be crazy for using it. And yes, I used rose twice.
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f] [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] [name_u]Sekani[/name_u]- [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] sounds sweet and strong at the same time, but I also think itās a very peaceful name, too. The meaning also matches well with the other names on this list. [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] and [name_u]Sekani[/name_u] repeat the meaning and feeling of āonenessā i feel from [name_f]Marisol[/name_f]. [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] is an honor for my brother, and [name_u]Sekani[/name_u] is as close as I can find to a name my husband heard in a movie.
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], and [name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
Iāve thought a lot about having a quartet of little girls! my nana was an only child, my mom was one of two girls, im one of three girls, so it only makes sense that my sisters or I would have four girls next!
todayā¦
[name_f]Boheme[/name_f] [name_f]Wrenley[/name_f] - a pretty perfect combination of my favorite styles, if I do say so myself. I love the free-spirited, adventurous, open-minded, dare-I-say boho feel of [name_f]Boheme[/name_f], then combined with the youthful, nature, modern [name_f]Wrenley[/name_f], it embodies everything I picture when I imagine how I want to raise my kids!
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Elidi[/name_f] - I recently fell in love with [name_f]Elidi[/name_f], as it feels like a sleeker, spunkier version of the lovely [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], but Iāve deemed it too close to my sisterās name to use as a first. [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] has caught my eye lately, although sheās been on my list for years! I love that itās soft, but with a sharp -r ending, and the meaning gives [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] a starry, ethereal vibe!
[name_u]Nyx[/name_u] [name_f]Amity[/name_f] - after the character from The [name_u]Owl[/name_u] House, so this name has an extra witchy feel! I love the nickname Nyxie; this name has the perfect blend of spunk, with the spicy X ending, and sophistication, with the mythological connection.
[name_f]Runa[/name_f] [name_f]Vyolet[/name_f] - still toying around with the combo here (this was nearly [name_f]Runa[/name_f] [name_u]Zosime[/name_u] or [name_f]Runa[/name_f] Jasper) but ultimately, the wild, vibrant [name_f]Vyolet[/name_f] won. I just adore this spelling! I adore [name_f]Violet[/name_f] too but the Y gives it an edgier feelāI want [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as in [name_f]Vi[/name_f] from Arcane, not as a vintage revival, so [name_f]Vyolet[/name_f] wins. [name_f]Runa[/name_f] is a stunning, badass name, perfect for a main character, and just feels like the little spitfire who would round out a sibset of four!
bonus
so I was stuck between my favorite combo right now (Boheme Wrenley) and my favorite girlās name (Rowan, currently combo-less), and since I donāt like them together (sound too similar, popularity too different), hereās a bonus set without middles!
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Wilder[/name_u]
[name_u]Briar[/name_u]
[name_f]Freyja[/name_f]
Iāve been thinking about this prompt for a long time, but it was taking me awhile to decide. [name_u]Four[/name_u] little girls is my dream sibset!
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Astraea[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] ~ my favorite name + the greek goddess of justice & innocence + reminds me of my favorite holiday, [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]
[name_f]Callista[/name_f] [name_f]Io[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] ~ a long time name love (itās in my username!) + my baby doll growing up + reminds me of comfort and peace
[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] ~ sweet and spunky like her sisters with a nickname I love + my favorite name as a kid, still love it now + a nod to my grandmother
[name_f]Suvi[/name_f] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] ~ my most recent favorite name + evening star + a nod to my favorite book
all middle names space + garden themed, because those are my two favorite things & I canāt help myself!
[name_f]Bee[/name_f], [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_u]Max[/name_u] & [name_f]Suvi[/name_f]
[name_u]Stevie[/name_u] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
-Stevieās just too cool, like [name_f]Evie[/name_f] made zestier- I think of [name_u]Stevie[/name_u] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] & [name_u]Stevie[/name_u] Nicks; [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is an honour, but I also love it masses
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Io[/name_f]
āBiceā
-Beatrice is one of my All Time Faves, but I went off it for a while- brought back by the Italian nickname ābiceā (Beee-cheee). [name_f]Io[/name_f] is just cool, and such a contrast w [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].
[name_f]Dido[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
-Again with the classical references. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the sounds and itās completely phonetic. Also rare that I like a āDā name. I love the āmā ending on [name_f]Plum[/name_f], it sounds like a soft landing. I also love plums.
[name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f]
-Oona has such a sweet meaning, and I love the look of the double āOā. [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f] is just so funny and irreverent, and Iām of the belief that thatās criteria enough.
This would be so awesome to have 4 little ladies. I would name themā¦
Luella Kismet-Although sheās a newer love, Luella has stolen my heart. I recently found out sheās a family name as well which helps. The nickname Lulu is also a bonus.
Clara Sunday-The name Clara honors a very kind, selfless woman in my life.
Hazel Dorothea-I just love how spunky yet soft the name Hazel feels. Dorothea is just one I like but it does honor an ancestoral Dorothy.
Juniper Beth-I was torn on this last girls name. On any other day it could be Phoebe, Ottoline, or even something else but I just love how bouncy and youthful Juniper sounds. Also, I love the nickname Junie.
Lulu, Clara, Hazel, and Junie
Coming up with four girls is harder than I thought! I didnāt realize how much I like names starting with F
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] āFrankieā- [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] is vivacious, elegant, and has spunky nicknames which are all things I love! It also honors my Italian side. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is my birthstone which is a cute nod.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Fay[/name_f] āViviā- [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is a name I go back and forth on but itās feeling extra gorgeous lately. I think it ages pretty well. Iāve always liked [name_f]Fay[/name_f] and it works as a middle for practically any name.
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]- [name_f]My[/name_f] beloved combo, itās sunshiney, friendly, and sweet. [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] also honors my SOās Turkish heritage.
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Fern[/name_u] āTibbyā- In the other direction, I like how itās witchy and whimsical. I also really love how [name_u]Fern[/name_u] is an understated, gentler nature name.
Iāve loved reading everyoneās responses to this post! I thought I would struggle to find four names I loved together but it was actually easier than I expected.
Totally unrealistically, today Iād name my fourā¦
[name_f]Merrigan[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] - [name_f]Merrigan[/name_f] is a nod to my [name_u]Irish[/name_u] family, and the meaning being related to the sea is also an honour for my partner. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] is for [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_u]Lovelace[/name_u]. [name_u]Marie[/name_u] and [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] are both family names.
[name_f]Tallula[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Juna[/name_f] [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] - Another [name_u]Irish[/name_u] name, this time meaning āprincessā, an honour for a [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. I love the meaning of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] āwished forā. [name_f]Juna[/name_f] is after [name_u]Juno[/name_u]. I went to [name_u]Rome[/name_u] earlier this year and saw a statue of [name_u]Juno[/name_u] and the image of the female warrior really stuck with me.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Alba[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] - This was almost [name_u]Alba[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f] but I thought [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] fit better with her sisters. No special meaning really, I just really like it. [name_u]Alba[/name_u] is for my partnerās native [name_u]Scotland[/name_u]. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] is one of my favourite plants, it is so calming and the colour is also my mumās favourite.
[name_f]Cherish[/name_f] [name_f]Callidora[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Cherry[/name_f] - [name_f]Cherish[/name_f] is another name with a lovely meaning ābelovedā. [name_f]Callidora[/name_f] is a newer discovery which I thought was fitting as this many girls is definitely a gift! And finally [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is for my favourite gems.
Phoebe Scout, Sylvie Bloom, Romy Lilac, & Moon Wildflower
The āwhyā behind them is just that they feel right. I love them & can imagine them on my daughters
*edit: lol how did I just notice I wrote Phoebe Lilac instead of Phoebe Scout
I actually love this spelling! It makes me like the name faith a lot more!
both of these are precious
This combo is so cool I love the perfectly gender neutral Spencer with the very feminine and romantic Juliet!
Totally agree! Artemis Valkyrie Ann sounds like a warrior princes I love the way you consider the flow and cohesion of your names- truly a flawless set.
I adore your whole list but this oneās my favorite! I love when names are used to honor songs- I have quite a few on my list and Matilda is a great song and definitely honor worthy
are you kidding me? This is a beyond perfect sister set!
your sister set is stunning and perfectly cohesive! Love them all but this one has to be my favorite Clara is such a gem
What a perfect name!! Sekani is so effortless and cool. Also Marisol and Primrose as sisters
Iām always so inspired by your names Abby!
I also just recently discovered Elidi while digging through the nameberry database and totally agree! Elidi so much spunkier and I find her a bit more wearable and less āfrillyā than Elodie
Cutest sisterset! I love seeing nn Max on a girl and Maxine Phoebe Marigold is perfection (it includes two of my most favorite names so I might be biased )
Your whole list is so cool! Something about your names makes me think of what a rockstar might name their children super excited to see Stevie- she doesnāt get enough love over here
