A sister for Elijah

Choosing a girl name is so hard! Our current shortlist is:

[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] - [name_u]Romy[/name_u] for short
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]

We like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but it’s too close to [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

I love [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - [name_f]Tillie[/name_f] for short, but my SO is not on board.

Would love feedback from you master namers out there!

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] names! My favorites are [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] & [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f].

Such a great list! I think [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] goes best with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

I thin [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is bit of an odd ball name on this list (it’s a GP name of mine). It feels more trendy and modern then the rest of the names. [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] are all fresh names with a classic/vintage vibe. I don’t really see that with [name_u]Everly[/name_u]!

However, [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] falls into both of those categories. It’s definitely a classic name, but it still seems to fit in with the trendy names. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] also has those qualities, which is why I think it works best.

[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] sound great together.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] personally, but I think [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] are good with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] too. [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is my least favorite of the four.

I adore [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], I have it on my signature as [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]! If you want nicknames I would sugest Innie, [name_m]Iggie[/name_m], Gi/[name_m]Gee[/name_m], Inid
My second favorite would be [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], I dont like the name itself, I find it kind of boring, but the adorable and spunky nn [name_u]Romy[/name_u] makes it worth it

I completely agree with you on [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] - it is the nn that makes it a little more unique.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] all 3 of your picks. I think rosemary (romy) goes best with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] , but you can’t go wrong with those choices

I think [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] sound like an adorable sibling combo.

Definitely [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

I think [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] from your list :slight_smile:

My two all time personal favourite names are [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

I think [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] goes best with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], though [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is my clear favourite from your list. I love [name_u]Romy[/name_u] but not [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] so much. If she is going to be mostly called [name_u]Romy[/name_u] I think that would work with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

[name_f]Hazel [/name_f]is great with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. That would be my choice from your list.

I am not a big fan of[name_f]Everly[/name_f] especially with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. Would you conside r[name_f]Esther [/name_f]? That seems to fit better with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and is a lovely underused name.

[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is nice and has a strong, solid sound although I prefer [name_f]Iris[/name_f] over [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f].

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] also works though I think if you are going to call her [name_f]Romy[/name_f], why not just use [name_f]Romy[/name_f]?

With [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], I also like:

[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] best. It is simultaneously sweet and funky, and has the added benefit of being totally recognizable. However, I do think that [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is probably the best fit with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] doesn’t do much for me, and [name_u]Everly[/name_u] doesn’t work well with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] those suggestions - I’m a fan of [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], I wonder if there are any cute nns for [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]?

I know a [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] who is called Noni by her family. I think it’s very sweet. Also [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], [name_f]Nan[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] from your list, [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] together are sweet.

Adding in:
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] is my favorite; I also like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

I think [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] has the best flow with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], they have the same number of syllables. You’d want a single syllable middle name, like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], or a four syllable one like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I also like the sound of these with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]:

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]

I love [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. They sound really good as a sibset. My second choice would be [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f].
