Amelie’s future brother or sister

I haven’t posted here in a while, not since I had my daughter, but the slow days of coronavirus isolation have me dreaming of a future sister or brother for my daughter [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. What do you think of the following names independently and with the name [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]? Which do you like most? Any you think don’t work? [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to make some first-middle combos too.

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Edie[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/[name_f]Nell[/name_f] (either as a nickname or on its own?)
[name_u]Billie[/name_u]

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] was nearly my daughter’s name but it’s popularity stopped us (and my partner preferred [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]). Despite its popularity we would consider it for number 2. I also desperately wanted [name_f]Olive[/name_f] or [name_f]Juno[/name_f] but he vetoed them; [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is out as an option for number 2 due to [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]’s middle name.

[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]

I know my partner likes [name_m]Elio[/name_m] (we both love Call Me By Your Name) but I’d have to do some convincing on some of the others. [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] i’m not sure I’d actually use considering it’s another A name and his portrayal as a racist in [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]’s second novel. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is another name I just love but it’s so popular here (although some of the others on this list are probably just as popular).

[name_f]TIA[/name_f] everyone :slight_smile:

Hiii!

My SO’s daughters name is [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] :slight_smile:
It’s always been one of my absolute favorites

Here’s my thoughts-

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]- I love it. It goes so well with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. Whimsical, character driven, eclectic. A pair meant to be together.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]

[name_f]Olive[/name_f]: [name_f]Olive[/name_f] does not flow quite with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] has this melodic O sound and [name_f]Olive[/name_f] feels abrupt with it.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f]- A classic beauty. I prefer [name_f]Iris[/name_f] as a middle name personally. It feels sharp to me as a first name.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]- The exotic and timeless [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is adorable and beautiful with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].

[name_f]Edie[/name_f]- Factory Girl! I like [name_f]Edie[/name_f]. It’s cute. I don’t see it/hear it with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].

[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]- I adore this name !!! Beautiful, unique. I like [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] together. Also love the [name_m]French[/name_m] connection :slight_smile:

[name_f]Freya[/name_f]- been seeing this name a lot here, It doesn’t call to me so I cant really give an opinion on it

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- I’m just not a fan of this name. No offense to anyone! I knew two not very nice Eleanors. I like the Beatles song [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_m]Rigby[/name_m] and I do think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] sounds cute with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].

[name_u]Billie[/name_u]- I really like [name_u]Billie[/name_u]! [name_u]Billie[/name_u] Lourd really drew me to this name on a girl.
Super cute. The Lee sound in both may be too matchy though

I’m not so great with boy names. But from your list, [name_u]Jude[/name_u] :slight_smile:
I’m bias as it’s one of my favorite boy names.

So my favs-

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] & [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] & [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] & [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]

My #1 fav- [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] & [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]

Other fav- Amelie June & Margaux Ruby

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is gorgeous!

Here are my thoughts on your list:

Girls-

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]-I’m guessing that you’re not in the U.S. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] isn’t very popular at all over here. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is not my very favorite, but it’s kind of fun. [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] & [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] do go nicely together. I like the nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], but [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] & [name_f]Millie[/name_f] are obviously too close.

[name_f]Olive[/name_f]-I adore this. It’s so spunky & charmingly vintage. It doesn’t go great w/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. They sort of start w/the same sound. I don’t think it’s too too close though. And I love the nn [name_f]Livy[/name_f]. So so cute.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f]-This is fine w/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. I just don’t love it. Not sure why. The sound isn’t that pretty to me, & I think that I’m in the minority.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]-Aw, I love this. It’s pretty & smart like [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].

[name_f]Edie[/name_f]-I think that this could be cute as a nn w/big sister [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], but it’s way too nick-namey on its own. [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is sweet, but I really like [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f] w/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f].

[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]-I generally prefer [name_f]Margot[/name_f], but this spelling works nicely w/the [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. It actually makes me like the name more!

[name_f]Freya[/name_f]-Aw, I like this. It’s sweet, kind, & has a little flair. It’s simple yet not over done. At least not in my neck of the woods. It goes really well w/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f].

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/[name_f]Nell[/name_f] (either as a nickname or on its own?)-I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]! It’s on the top of my list. It’s the perfect balance of boldness & elegance. I think that [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is better as a nn. [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nell[/name_f] are also options.

[name_u]Billie[/name_u]-I can see the appeal, but it seems a bit lacking as a full name. [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] is kind of cute. It seems like a different style from [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] though.

Boys-

[name_m]Felix[/name_m]-This is cute w/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. I don’t care much for it though. Not sure why. I think that it’s just a little too cute.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]-Ooh, this is cool. I like it for you. It’s handsome & a little bit mysterious.

[name_u]Jude[/name_u]-I love this! It’s so simple & handsome. Sounds like a really gentle guy. Is that okay that it’s so close to [name_u]June[/name_u]? I also love [name_m]Julian[/name_m] nn [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] & [name_m]Julian[/name_m] would be great together.

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]-I really really like this. It’s even cooler than [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]; which is also good. [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] is just a bit more unique & slightly less stuffy. And the nn Bash is neat! [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] & [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] are perfect.

[name_m]Elio[/name_m]-I don’t know. This is okay, but it just sounds incomplete to me. I know that it’s a real name, but it just doesn’t flow to say. That may not make sense.

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]-I like [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]. I really like [name_u]Finn[/name_u] even more. And neither go super great w/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f], but they don’t clash. [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] is sort of sporty sounding. It’s nice. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not my number one pick for you.

[name_u]Rex[/name_u]-I kind of like it. It’s a bit harsh sounding though.

[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]-Ha, that newest book really ruined this name, didn’t it? I think it’s a cool name, but I totally see your concern.

[name_m]Milo[/name_m]-This is charming. It’s not too close to [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], is it? It has a lot of the same sounds. It’s a fun name though.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Margaux[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] would all be quite perfect with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]! My favorites are [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].

I think the others could work, with the exception of [name_u]Billie[/name_u] which feels very nickname-y and boyish next to [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. Besides [name_u]Billie[/name_u], I also don’t really love [name_f]Freya[/name_f] with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], tbh. [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is fine, but also more of a nickname than [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] seems a little off…perhaps because [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] is so [name_m]French[/name_m] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is, well, not. [name_m]Even[/name_m] so, I suppose that’s not a deal-breaker. :slight_smile:

[name_u]Billie[/name_u] and [name_m]Elio[/name_m] seem like the perfect siblings for [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. Iam in the minority here but I love [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and [name_u]Billie[/name_u] together. They sound like sisters to me, and I also love when names aren’t overly matchy and in the same style.
My second favourites are [name_f]Edie[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m].

With [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], I think the following woulf be amazing

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Elio[/name_m]

I’ll throw in the suggestions of [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_f]Adele[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f]

Of your girls names, I think that any could make a great sister name for [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] except from [name_u]Billie[/name_u]. There’s nothing wrong with the name, I just think they’re too similar in sound and too different in style. [name_m]Elio[/name_m] and [name_m]Milo[/name_m] are also a little too similar imo, while [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_u]Rex[/name_u] don’t fit well for me.

My favourites with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] are:
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]

Thank you all so much for your comments, I really appreciate it!

@jacquelinewinter: [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] are beautiful! I have [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] on my list but will add [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].

@michellem: You’re right, I’m not from the US. I’m in Australia, where [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is VERY popular. Unfortunately [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is getting really popular too which sucks. In regard to [name_u]Jude[/name_u], it doesn’t bother me too much that it’s close to [name_u]June[/name_u]; it would if it were her first name but in the middle position it’s fine I think. I love [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! And I also love the nn Bash for [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]!

@elanorelle: I do know what you mean about [name_u]Billie[/name_u]. It is extremely different from [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]! Although sometimes I don’t mind when names of siblings are different in style?

@jonquils: You’re right, considering she didn’t really want it published it shouldn’t matter. And because of that I do go back and forth on whether I’d use it. I shouldn’t let it bother me, and he’s just such a brilliant character in TKAM.

@bellerose: I like your minority opinion! I love [name_u]Billie[/name_u] and [name_m]Elio[/name_m], and I actually think they look super cute together!

@greyblue: Thank you - I love all of your combos! And also the names you suggested, especially [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]. I actually met a little [name_f]Adele[/name_f] recently and it really made me love the name.

@gia.berry: Thank you for your comment. I do know what you mean about [name_u]Billie[/name_u] being close in sound to [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]; it’s definitely something to consider.

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f], & [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]

Those are my votes!

Awesome names btw!!

I absolutely love [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. So good with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. For boys, I really like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Elio[/name_m]/[name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]

@drfox: Thank you! And I really love [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], they’re great combos.

@ivoryelodia: I hadn’t thought to pair [name_m]Elio[/name_m] and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] but seeing them together makes me love them as a combo, especially [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]!

I love:
