My 2 year old daughter’s name is [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Sonia[/name]. [name]Charlotte[/name] is a name we absolutely loved and still do–there is no other name we love as much! [name]Sonia[/name] was my grandmother who sadly never lived to see her great-granddaughter. (We are Ashkenazi Jews and name after the deceased.) We just found out that baby #2 due this summer is a girl! We’ve had some names in mind and currently the front-runner is [name]Norah[/name]. Does [name]Norah[/name] go well with [name]Charlotte[/name]? I think at least bc they’re both more old-fashioned, classic names they fit, but I don’t know about how they sound together. Other names I like are [name]Harper[/name] (DH is not a fan), [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Julianne[/name], [name]Emma[/name]… I wish there was another name I loved as much as [name]Charlotte[/name]! For a middle name it gets tricky… My mom is really ill and were not sure if she will live to see this little girl Her name is [name]Helene[/name] so that will definitely be baby’s middle name in that worst-case scenario. But hopefully we will be able to choose another name as we luckily have no other relatives to name after currently. I’ve been thinking of:
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Kate[/name] (love the way it sounds but not sure about the name [name]Kate[/name] itself. Definitely don’t like [name]Katherine[/name])
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Harper[/name]
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]
What do you think of these combinations? Any other first name suggestions that go nicely with [name]Charlotte[/name]?
Our last name is [name]West[/name], so pretty easy to pair with! ([name]Just[/name] not “[name]Grace[/name]” haha)
I think [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] go great together! I like [name]Norah[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. I think [name]Kate[/name] is a great middle name, its one of my favorites.
Others suggestions to go with [name]Charlotte[/name]:
[name]Lucy[/name]/[name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Eva[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Ella[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] goes well with [name]Charlotte[/name], but I also like the idea of [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] or [name]Audrey[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] (not sure why those came to mind, bu they work nicely!).
Since you love [name]Charlotte[/name], you may love one of these:
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Leah[/name]
[name]Lara[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
I have never been a fan of [name]Norah[/name]. [name]Cora[/name] is really pretty though.
Instead of [name]Harper[/name], how about [name]Harlow[/name] or [name]Harmony[/name]?
I hope you don’t have to use [name]Helene[/name] for the middle name! Have you thought about a variation of [name]Helene[/name] for the first? [name]Helena[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Lena[/name], etc?
All the best!
I like [name]Norah[/name] [name]Claire[/name], but as soon as I saw your headline of a sister for [name]Charlotte[/name], I immediately thought [name]Ava[/name]! [name]Ava[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] just seem to go together so sweetly.
I think [name]Norah[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] are well-matched. I also agree with a previous poster who said that [name]Ava[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] are sweet together. I also recommend:
I think [name]Norah[/name] sounds just fine with [name]Charlotte[/name], although I like the spelling [name]Nora[/name] better. [name]Nora[/name] [name]Helene[/name] is lovely as is [name]Nora[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]. I also like [name]Hannah[/name] but I wouldn’t like [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Helene[/name]. Have you thought about [name]Helena[/name]? Here are some other ideas similar in style to [name]Charlotte[/name]:
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Helene[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Corinne[/name], [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]

Thanks everyone! [name]Audrey[/name] was actually I name I loved before DH and I were even married, but just as he started to warm up to it I lost interest haha I do love [name]Ava[/name], but one of [name]Charlotte[/name]'s closest friends is [name]Ava[/name] so I would feel weird using it.
I don’t know why I like the h at the end of [name]Norah[/name]… I guess I feel like it softens it and makes it seem younger…
I love that [name]Charlotte[/name] is not a super common name (well, at least it wasn’t when we chose it and we haven’t come across many haha) but isn’t an odd name. We are more traditional than not so names like [name]Harlow[/name], etc don’t really fit our personalities. My husband and I have super common names and we don’t want kids with the same, but don’t like to veer too far off, if that makes sense
Going to make some more lists with your suggestions to go over with DH! Thanks again!
Oooh, I love [name]Charlotte[/name] with [name]Hannah[/name]! Also, I think [name]Charlotte[/name] would go very nicely with [name]Abigail[/name]. It’s another classic, and is very cute. It would go well with [name]Charlotte[/name], which is a similar type of name! Some other names to think about:
[name]Julia[/name] (flows well with [name]West[/name])
[name]Eve[/name] (gorgeous name with tons of Jewish roots)
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name] (pronounced HAH-na)
I think [name]Nora[/name] is perfect- you should look no further! It’s wonderful with or without the “h” and sounds great with [name]Charlotte[/name]. I like [name]Norah[/name] [name]Helene[/name], [name]Norah[/name] [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. These are all perfect middle name choices. I love the name [name]Corinne[/name] but don’t love it with [name]Norah[/name]… maybe too close to the same start sound? I hope your mother does get to meet your little princess and I’m so sorry to hear she’s ill. I think it would be nice to use [name]Helene[/name] in the middle regardless of her condition at the time (unless this is against your traditions of course…) If not [name]Norah[/name] [name]Helene[/name], I think you should go with [name]Norah[/name] [name]Kate[/name] since it seems to be the one you love most. [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] are such beautiful sister names. Congratulations and good luck to your whole family
I agree that [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] go great together. They are two of my favorite names, but I couldn’t use them as one is a family member’s daughter and the other is my very close friend since first grade. I would if I could though!
Thanks everyone! Also love the name [name]Emma[/name] and how it sounds with [name]Charlotte[/name], but I’ve never wanted a super common name which that is, of course, and I feel like it doesn’t sound like a full name. Is that odd?
[name]How[/name] many of you let popularity influence your decisions? Aside from thinking [name]Charlotte[/name] is a totally beautiful name on its own, I love that it isn’t as common–at least not among anyone I know.
Stumped! I do still really like [name]Norah[/name] but when I say it out loud I’m not sure it fits us. Hmmmmm…
I really like [name]Charlotte[/name] paired with [name]Eleanor[/name] - they seem like such natural sisters. [name]Eleanor[/name] is a “fuller” name, but also gives you the option of going back to [name]Norah[/name].
I do like [name]Nora/name, but somehow it seems like a nickname for something grander when coupled with [name]Charlotte[/name]. Here are a few suggestions:
,
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Pauline[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Adrianne[/name] / [name]Adrienne[/name]
My favorite combo from your list is [name]Norah[/name] [name]Kate[/name]! I think that sounds very feminine and sweet. [name]Charlotte[/name] & [name]Norah[/name] go very well together!
Other suggestions -
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. My mom unfortunately passed away a month ago So, this little girl’s middle name will definitely be Helene. We have kept Norah as our #1 choice but I’m still not sure about it. I almost love the way it looks more than how it sounds–or something–I don’t know. I also love the name Emma but I’m pretty sure my friend due 2 weeks after me is using the name and I also am not sure about a name that 1) is super common and 2) is reminiscent of a nickname rather than a full name… Even though I think it’s a lovely name and goes well with DD Charlotte.
So torn! I’d like to have the name picked soon so I can order things for her room, but I’m thinking now we may have to go into the hospital with a couple of names and choose once we see her… But that’s also a lot of pressure!
Open to all suggestions of first names that go well with Charlotte and with the middle name Helene. I obviously like the classic, old fashioned names that aren’t super popular but aren’t too out there, either.
Her name is [name]Helene[/name] so that will definitely be baby’s middle name in that worst-case scenario. But hopefully we will be able to choose another name as we luckily have no other relatives to name after currently. I’ve been thinking of:
