#4 is a girl and I’m due in like 10 days. We are still struggling with names! Here are some on the list that we are considering. Which is your favorite and sounds the best with our other kids?
I think if I had to pick my favorites it would be [name_f]Avila[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f] (I like the meaning and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] as a nn), [name_f]Serena[/name_f] is a newer one that’s caught my eye. I love [name_f]Esme[/name_f] but my husband isn’t on board with it. Help meeeee
Kaia, [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and [name_f]Verity[/name_f] sounds so sweet!
I’m not sure about [name_f]Isla[/name_f], because [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Mila[/name_f] are very close. But if it doesn’t bother you I think [name_f]Isla[/name_f] would be my second pick.
For middle names I see that your daughters’ middles both start with E, so maybe…
I love your taste in names! I have a [name_f]Kate[/name_f] (who was almost a [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]), a [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and soon a [name_f]Mila[/name_f]! [name_f]Clara[/name_f] was also a consideration and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is a middle name already for us. So those would be my two picks for you since I think they flow so well.
In keeping with the E middles:
Clara [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
Isla and [name_f]Mila[/name_f] strike me as close, as well, which is a shame as it’s a beautiful name.
If you don’t want another E middle, my favourite is [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (as [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] a bit similar) or maybe [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f] as a suggestion.
I like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] out of all of these. I would like to make some suggestions. Since your other kids’ initials are K, L, and M, I think a N name would be cute.
My favorites are [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. I don’t personally think [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Mila[/name_f]. Maybe you like [name_f]Nyla[/name_f]? Its close in sound to [name_f]Isla[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Avila[/name_f] but I feel like maybe it’s a little too close to [name_f]Mila[/name_f] on paper (as both have the -ila ending) and if it helps I’d also rule out [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] because they are very similar to [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. Using [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u] in the same sibset may also be a lot but that’s just personal opinion. I really like [name_f]Vera[/name_f] with your sibset. Maybe [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] or [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]? [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is also lovely as a first. Maybe [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] or [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Avila[/name_f]?
That’s crazy! We get a lot of compliments about our kids names ([name_f]Kaia[/name_f] ([name_f]Kate[/name_f] was also on our list, lol), [name_m]Leo[/name_m] & [name_f]Mila[/name_f]) and I think they flow really well together. Hoping to keep it that way but it gets harder with each kid- ha!
I have to agree with you that they are very close…we obviously have a style we like and it’s hard for us to go to far from it, lol! I think [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is close enough to go well, but different enough to not sound too match-y. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is super cute, my oldest ([name_f]Kaia[/name_f]) is also obsessed with the name [name_f]Grace[/name_f], so we may use it as a middle so she feels like she got a part in naming her sister
I’ve thought about this…I didn’t even realize the K-L-M trend until a few weeks ago, ha! [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]/Noel are cute, & [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], they were on the list until recently but I think there are others I like a little better.
I also just wanna add a list of names that come to mind as going well with [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] & [name_f]Mila[/name_f] in case you’re on the look out for fresh options:
Perla
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Isola[/name_f] (an alternative to [name_f]Isla[/name_f] which doesn’t sound so matchy with [name_f]Mila[/name_f])
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosa[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u]
As the youngest in the family, I think a cute, romantic name will do just fine. A bold name may not be as suiting in this situation. Also looking at [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and [name_f]Mila[/name_f], I have a few suggestions. They’re all short 3-4 letter names so I think baby #4 should have a longer name to really “seal off” the family. Also I think that she should have a name ending in a firm sound, so not ending in “a” or and “ie/y” sound. That way when saying all 4 names, it’ll really sound complete. I think [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/Juliette is a great name. It’s so petite and divine and the sound of [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], and [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. Only thing is 3/4 names have L in them so it may sound wordy. Almost all 6-8 letter names have L but maybe u like the sound! Some other ideas:
Brooklyn: very cute and stylish (can call her [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]!) but is becoming popular
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]: so adorable as the youngest in the family! [name_m]Can[/name_m] be used as a full name but pet names/nicknames like [name_f]Callie[/name_f] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] are amazing
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]: a gem! [name_m]Can[/name_m]’t go wrong with this name and she can have [name_f]Lotte[/name_f] as a pet name!
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]: may not be your type but the nn [name_f]Gen[/name_f] or [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/Evie are perfect! [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] sounds great with the other kids’ names!
Please do whatever you like to perfect baby #4’s name! Sending my love for the arrival
From your list of favorites, I think [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u] are pretty much perfect–they both fit in really nicely with your older kids’ names (which are lovely, by the way!) while having their own strong sounds. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is my personal favorite of the two, so that gets my vote! [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is sweet but a little too close to [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] and [name_f]Mila[/name_f], imo.
i like [name_f]Esme[/name_f] & [name_u]Eden[/name_u] best! i don’t like [name_f]Avila[/name_f] or [name_f]Isla[/name_f] for you as they’re a bit close to [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] & [name_f]Mila[/name_f]. [name_f]Verity[/name_f] also works well but not my favourite personally.
My personal favourite names on your list are [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] & [name_f]Verity[/name_f].
In relation to your sibling set they consist of short spunky names that feel fashionable and in my eyes the best fit is [name_f]Esme[/name_f] she has the same number of letters as [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] & [name_f]Mila[/name_f] ties in well with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] as she has that shared ‘e’ sound. It’s a shame your husband isn’t on board. After [name_f]Esme[/name_f] I think the next best fit is [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] again she feels fashionable like [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] & [name_f]Mila[/name_f] she shares the same amount of letters as your daughter’s names along with tying in nicely with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and that shared ‘e’ sound. I’m crushing on the idea of [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] that’s beyond cute and personally I’m a massive fan of alliteration I think [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is perfection! [name_u]Or[/name_u] you could use an A middle name to tie in [name_m]Leo[/name_m]’s name I like the idea of [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]?
From your comments it seems [name_f]Verity[/name_f] is your favourite. [name_f]Verity[/name_f] is a lovely name very classic Puritan virtue name. [name_f]Verity[/name_f] is elegant I think stylistically she doesn’t 100% work BUT it’s more important that you love the name rather than the the sibling sets being stylistically perfect so if you love [name_f]Verity[/name_f] go for it! You could always add a more ‘modern’ twist on [name_f]Verity[/name_f] by using [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f] or [name_f]Avila[/name_f] in the middle name slot.
My favourites with your family are:
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Chiara[/name_f], and you could use it, but it’s a little close to [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] and it’s nice for all the kids to have distinctive names. I find [name_f]Isla[/name_f] too close to both [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] (presume it’s pronounced [name_u]Kye[/name_u]-ah, and [name_f]Mila[/name_f]).
My standout favourites are [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
