I have been digging through name books and of course spending countless hours on nameberry trying to find a girl name that clicks for us. Our son is [name]Phineas[/name] [name]James[/name]. He goes by Phinn about 60% of the time. It is mostly family (us included) that also call him [name]Phineas[/name].
Our last name is very common and begins with an S, so I am looking for something that kind of walks the line of being not too common but still familiar.
Some names we have that have made our list so far are: [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Audra[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Nora[/name], and [name]Charlotte[/name]. Nothing has really stuck for first or middle names.
What do you berries recommend? I’d love to hear you thoughts whether it is your favorite of names above, middle name suggestions or something new all together! I just feel this restlessness until I have the name!!
I honestly love your whole girls’ list, your style appears to be very similar to mine. My favourites with [name]Phineas[/name] are [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Audra[/name] (which are quirkier classics, like your son’s name).
As for combinations, I like:
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] (which seems to shimmery and sleek) - this is my favourite
[name]Audra[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
Here are a few suggestions for you:
[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Greta[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Adria[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Audra[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Nora[/name], and [name]Charlotte[/name]: each of these is wonderful. However, [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] are more popular than [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Audra[/name], [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name], so for last name ‘[name]Smith[/name]’ I would select something equally as rare and stand-out as [name]Phineas[/name]. My favorite, by far, is the truly striking [name]Audra[/name].
[name]Phineas[/name] [name]James[/name] & [name]Stella[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] is the combo I would make out of you choices.
[name]Eleanora[/name] is good because it combines [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name].
I also suggest:
I love your taste in names, [name]Phineas[/name] [name]James[/name] is a really gorgeous name for a little boy.
I really like [name]Nora[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Nora[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name], those two fit nicely with your sons name with a special first name and a more normal middle name. There is the [name]Nor[/name]a [name]Elea[/name]nor though, so I think I’d stick to [name]Nora[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] personally.
What do think od [name]Sybilla[/name]? It sounds similar to stella and has same meaning as [name]Phineas[/name]. It’s a form of [name]Sybil[/name] or [name]Sibyl[/name].
I love your son’s name I love [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name], though all of them seem better suited as middles to me. You might like:
[name]Phineas[/name] is gorgeous! I think your girls names go so well with [name]Phineas[/name]. [name]Phineas[/name] & [name]Eleanor[/name] is what’s standing out to me at the moment.
I do love [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Nora[/name] too.
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] would be gorgeous!
Thanks for all the suggestions. [name]Stella[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] really does seem to sparkle! I still really like [name]Audra[/name] too, but haven’t identified a middle name that sets it off yet. Oh and there is still [name]Eleanor[/name]! Gosh I never thought naming a girl would be so tough!!
I also liked the suggestions of [name]Violet[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], and [name]Isadora[/name]. Although I think [name]Isadora[/name] is the only one with first name potential for us. I like [name]Tess[/name]/a and [name]Blythe[/name] too but am afraid the kind of run into our last name.
[name]Isadora[/name] would be beautiful. [name]One[/name] point just for you to think about is [name]James[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name] have very similar sounds so if they were both in the middle spot??? However, middle names are rarely used.
I love [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name], though all of them seem better suited as middles to me. You might like:
