We have a daughter, [name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] (loo-VEE-sah) [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] and are expecting our second child, due in [name_u]June[/name_u].
We’d really like something exotic, either Swedish (since our kids are half) or just something of forgien flair!
For a girl, the middles [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] are high contenders.
Our shortlist:
[name_f]Una[/name_f] (not too sure though, since our daughter goes by [name_u]Lou[/name_u] or [name_f]Lova[/name_f] a lot)
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] (nickname friendly?)
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Novalie[/name_f] would be adorable sisters and share a ‘v’ which is a nice connection. It’s also in the top 100 in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u] and comes nickname-ready with [name_f]Nova[/name_f] (although perhaps that’s too close to [name_f]Lova[/name_f]?).
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] is awesome! Of your options, I like [name_f]Una[/name_f] best, but I can see how it’s kind of similar to [name_f]Lova[/name_f].
I’m not super up on my Swedish names, so here are a bunch that feel international to me:
I like the suggestions of [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] and [name_f]Saskia[/name_f]. [name_f]Annika[/name_f] would also be lovely, as would [name_f]Sanne[/name_f] (sahn-na),[name_f]Majken[/name_f], [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] and [name_f]Fenna[/name_f].
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Sanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Majken[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Fenna[/name_f]
I think my favorites are [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f].
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Era[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Elisabetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleri[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Angharad[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Mair[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_u]Malin[/name_u]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Tilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Olga[/name_f]
I think my favourite combos are: [name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] & [name_f]Eleri[/name_f] and [name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] & [name_f]Angharad[/name_f]!
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] is lovely. I like [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] from your current list and I second the suggestion of [name_f]Annika[/name_f]. Perhaps [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]? [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]?
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_f]Olga[/name_f], [name_f]Marika[/name_f] (Mah-ree-kuh) and [name_f]Candela[/name_f] were the firsts to come to mind. [name_f]Oona[/name_f], Miread, [name_f]Salome[/name_f] and [name_f]Thais[/name_f] as well.
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] is lovely! I don’t have anything to add but I love the suggestions that have been given so far! [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f], and [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] are probably my faves. Best of luck!!
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is a GORGEOUS Name and I think [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] would be PERFECTLY WONDERFUL for her [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_f]Sister[/name_f]! My other suggestion would be [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]! [name_f]HEAVENLY[/name_f]!!
I come from Australia, so this may not be helpful, but I would pronounce [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] as “SUS-kyah”. Is that how you would pronounce it?
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] and [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]!
I like [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] from your current list and I second the suggestion of [name_f]Annika[/name_f]. Perhaps [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]? [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]?
