Hello! I’m not expecting at the moment but just doing a little bit of planning for the future…
When planning for our first, girls’ names were very difficult for my husband and I to agree on. Now we have another wrench in the works in the form of our adorable son [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]… now we have to find a name we agree on that also makes a cute sibset with [name]Sebastian[/name]!
Here are some of my favorite girls’ names (some I like more as middles). I’d love some suggestions as to first-middle combos using the names from this list that would pair nicely with [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]. Our last name is 3 syllables and begins with a B. Or, if you have a suggestion or two that fits in nicely with whatever my naming style is (?!) I’m open to that as well! Thanks Berries!!
[name]Astrid[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Sigrid[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]Elin[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Plum[/name] (only as a middle and honestly I don’t even know if we could pull it off in real life)
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Elinor[/name]/[name]Eleanor[/name] (I lean toward the first spelling since I love the name [name]Elin[/name] on its own as well)
[name]Aurora[/name] (love it but hate the Disney connotation, especially since [name]Sebastian[/name] is another Disney-esque name)
[name]Belle[/name] (this can’t be used as a first name due to the band [name]Belle[/name] & [name]Sebastian[/name] lol… too cheesy. Plus the Disney factor for both names.)
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Seren[/name]
[name]Avril[/name] (fell in love with this name when I lived in [name]Scotland[/name] but this was before [name]Avril[/name] Lavigne was around… now I worry that the name will always be associated with her)
I love your list!
My favorites combos from your list:
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Skye[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
I agree about [name]Plum[/name], I like the idea of using it myself, but I have trouble even imagining announcing the choice to family and friends.
First off, a comment about [name]Avril[/name]. Personally, I don’t like this spelling (precisely due to the [name]Avril[/name] Lavigne connection that you note). However, I’ve fallen in love with the similar [name]Averil[/name]/[name]Averill[/name] (which I think looks much prettier and also has one extra syllable in it). As an added bonus, this name also has a nice [name]Anne[/name] of [name]Green[/name] Gables connection (she writes a story called “[name]Averil[/name]'s Atonement” at one point).

Thank you for the suggestions so far!
@[name]Cressida[/name]… I have to admit that my absolute favorite name on my list at this very moment is [name]Astrid[/name] (I’m one of the rare ones that The Office didn’t ruin this name for, ha!), so I was glad that some of your suggestions featured it as a first name. I just wonder if it “goes” with [name]Sebastian[/name]? Are the common “ast” sounds too clunky for a sibset? And what about the difference in country of origin?
