A sister for Amelie

Name Advice
1

Looking for fresh ideas for Amelie’s sister! We have a few solid options, but I’m still hoping to find something that feels more exciting/like the one. Also, it’s fun to get other people’s ideas! Last name starts with F (I do not like F alliteration, generally) and has an “ees” ending- so names like [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] etc do not work, unfortunately.

We both like:

[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (the frontrunner - I’ve always loved [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], but it (and variations) have also been very popular for a very long time, so though it’s a wonderful name it feels a little basic to me)

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] (very popular where we live)

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] (feels too matchy with Amelie?)

maybes:

[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] (him)/Gwendolen (me)

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]

We each highlighted names we like in the top 1000. Here is a sample from each other us to give a sense of our tastes.

Him: [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Josie[/name_f], [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f]

Me: [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Marina[/name_f], [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Kezia[/name_f] (out of the top 1000 but some of my top picks: [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f])

Thanks!

Lovelies outside of the top 300 that come to mind since [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] is familiar but not overly popular:

[name_f]Allaire[/name_f] (unsure if you want two A names…)

[name_f]Giselle[/name_f]

[name_f]Odette[/name_f] (This is SO cute with sis’s name!)

[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]

[name_f]Merewen[/name_f]

[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]

Hopefully these help! :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]! Might try to sell him on that one again. Amelie’s middle name is [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] :slight_smile: Ideally, we wouldn’t do a second A, but we’re not totally opposed. Thanks!

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] has such a pretty name! From your existing lists, my favorites are [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (although definitely more popular than Amelie), [name_f]Margot[/name_f], & [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]!

A few other suggestions you might like:
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] / [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] / [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosette[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]

I hope this helped – best of luck!

As soon as I saw the title of your post and before reading the content, [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] came to mind for you! I also love [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] although if she is likely to get a nickname I would aim for [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] rather than [name_m]Del[/name_m]. [name_m]You[/name_m] have a lovely list and suggestions.

Favorites of your names with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] are [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] “Gwen” and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. If you really like [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] I would use it regardless, its about what it means to you, I also like the [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] variation.

[name_f]She[/name_f] would be [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] if it was up to me! Thank you

If I had an Amelie, I would pair her with a short to mid length, spunky name (a mix of my ideas and looking at your lists):

Tess
Zara
Juno (I like Juniper too, but Juno matches a little better imo)
Celeste
Heidi
Xanthe
Linnea (really like this when said with the “nay” sound)
Sabine
Bryony
Serena
Odette
Cosima
Paloma
Gwenyth, Gweneth or Gwennan (or Gwen alone, think Gwendolen a little fussy with Amelie)
Delphine
Saskia
Harriet
Leonor (nn Nora?)
Tabitha
Niamh
Maeva

And while they’re a tad long in comparison, I do really like:

Seraphine
Josephine (nn Josie)
Jessamine

All the “Bel” (and “El”) names have been extremely popular over the last twenty years so if that’s a concern, would put Isabel on a maybe list. And while I really like Margot, Clara & Sophia, and would keep on the list, but all very popular where I am. Same for the Eva/ Evie names. Rosalie is too match for me. And Ellie or similar could be a nickname for Amelie and would be off the list for me (I also happen to not warm to Ellie). I would go a non-A name and save Autumn as a possible middle. I’m not a Lucy or Lucia fan but that’s just a subjective feeling. I love Lydia but it def feels heavier against the sprightly Amelie.

Hope that helps!

[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] gives [name_f]Cosy[/name_f] & [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], and [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] gives [name_f]Polly[/name_f] and [name_f]Lomi[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] is so pretty! What about [name_f]Jemima[/name_f]?
