So the top 2 contenders for another girl are
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
Which do you prefer, and what would you suggest as a middle name?
I prefer [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], but with [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] I’d prefer [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] go together much better. It’d be easier to recommend middle names if I knew the style of [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]'s middle name, but without that information I’d suggest a spunky middle name for [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] or [name_u]Blue[/name_u] or [name_u]Sky[/name_u].
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] definitely! Goes well with [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] together
I like sibling sets that kind of hang together, either by theme or by sound. So, for example, if a first child had a strong traditional name rooted in history, I’d choose another name in the same category for the second, rather than a word or nature name.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] are both [name_m]French[/name_m] and have a graceful, feminine sound without being too matchy-matchy. Brilliant combination. While I love the name [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], I think it would pair better with another nature name like [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_f]Fern[/name_f] or [name_f]Summer[/name_f], etc.
I’m a bit jealous that you’ve narrowed your choices down to two. I’ve still got about 20 names on my list, and I love them all!
Are you willing to share [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]'s middle name? It would help with picking one for baby number 2.
Good luck!
I think [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] works the best with [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] but you could use [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] to use both of the names you love:
What about:
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
as firsts or as middles eg.
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
Thanks everyone! I do agree that [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] sounds nicer with [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]! But I am still having a hard time letting go of [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. We call [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] “[name_f]Stella[/name_f]” as her nn. and I quite like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u].
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] has two middle names. They are [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] after her godmother, and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] after her Great Great Grandmother.
To go with [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], I like [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] better…
You could go with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and still call her [name_u]June[/name_u].
