Our daughter’s name is Guinevere Grace. We call her Gigi. Expecting baby #5 in the fall and are STUCK on girl names. Besides Gigi, we have three sons named Whittaker, William and Winston. We didn’t set out to alliterate with the boy’s names…it just sort of happened that way. Baby 5’s name needs to fit! I prefer multisyllabic girl’s names with good nickname options. Bonus points for literary connections. Double bonus points if the initials begin with A, C, E, G, S, or W. Current favorites are Penelope, Juliette and Emmeline. Thanks in advance <3

Thank you, Gertrude and Geneva went onto the the list to run by my DH!
Minerva is a FAVORITE. DH is unwilling to use it as a first, but was thinking maybe as a middle for Emmeline. Initials would be EM which goes with Gigi’s initial nickname too. Also, huge fan of Matilda & Eloise. Thanks for your input, it always helps to have a fresh set of eyes!
I know you’re not necessarily seeking another G name but considering your boys’ initials are all the same here are some G names that you might like with Guinevere:
Giselle
Giovanna
Goldie
Gabrielle
Genevieve
Giuliana
Geneva
Georgina
Gaia
Ginevra
Gretchen
Gillian
Greta

From your list, I think Emmeline is the best option. It’s a lovely name and goes well with Guinevere. Both are grand, elegant names with historical/mythological namesakes (Emmeline Pankhurst, King Arthur’s wife).
Emmeline would be stunning with Sister Guinevere and fits nicely with your boys too

Literally, every name you mentioned is on my list. It’s so hard to narrow down! I am so drawn to those classical, literary, historical names. They’re just lovely. Thank you for contributing!
Thank you! I love the [name_m]Hamlet[/name_m] connection with Gertrude, [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is such a great twist on Elizabeth. Familiar yet unexpected. That’s right up my alley. I appreciate you weighing in!
