[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
I am currently expecting my second daughter at the end [name_u]December[/name_u] and I have yet to decide on a name. My husband and I named our first daughter [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]August[/name_u] (she goes by [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] or occasionally [name_f]Gen[/name_f]). We both love it (maybe a bit too much because no other name seems to live up to it).
We like elegant and traditionally female first names that aren’t super common.
Here are some names that we like but had to axe for one reason or another:
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Your first daughter’s name is stunning! No wonder you’re struggling to find something to live up to it. [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
Ooh I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] & [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], especially as sisters! It’s too bad you can use that one!
I think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] sounds great with almost anything honestly. Here’s my suggestions, sorry for any that are repeats! I put my favorites in bold.
Your list is beautiful (especially [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]) and your first child’s name is very lovely as well Here are some suggestions that might be of interest:
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] – Beautiful, classic name with the meaning of “beautiful rose”. Nickname [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], or [name_f]Linda[/name_f].
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] – A [name_m]French[/name_m] based name like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] meaning “renowned warrior”
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] – A hidden flower name of Hebrew origin meaning “lily”. Nickname [name_f]Susie[/name_f] or [name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] – An ancient name meaning “light”. Nickname [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
Well I have a [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] as well, and if she were to have a sister, it would have been [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I was pretty set on that, but alas, we had a boy. Since [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is out for you (which I am saddened by - clearly we have similar, amazing taste) I guess I would second [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] and [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]. Maybe [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f] as well, though I’m a sucker for having matching syllables in sibling names. Good luck, it is really hard to find a name as beautiful and versatile and elegant as [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]!
I love your taste in names! I also gravitate towards classic names and vintage names that are underused. Some of these sound fresh, but because I have a [name_u]December[/name_u] girl on the way too, I can assure you from my research, they were all classic or vintage. I hope one appeals to you! Good luck!
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

That said, my absolute favorite sibling name with [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] would have to be [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]. I think it has a great sound with it and similar style. Consider it!
