I recently found out that baby #2 is going to be a girl. I am very close with my family and we all have similar taste in names. I’m having a very hard time trying to figure out a name (and one that my DH can agree with) for our little that fits in well with her girl cousins’ names.
They are:
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
If I didn’t have nieces with these names, some of them would definitely be on my short list. What do you think fits in?
I’m tempted for a -tte name. Definitely not an -a ending, since there are three already. (Is one your DD? If so, which name is hers?)
If your DD is [name]Charlotte[/name], then I’d go with something that’s does not end in -tte, or -a to kind of balance it out.
If you have a DS, then -tte would be great.
My personal sugesstions would be:
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Marie[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name]! I think [name]Lillian[/name] would be a perfect match with the classic, feminine, charming, straight-out-of-a-regency-[name]England[/name]/[name]Jane[/name]-[name]Austen[/name]-novel names of her cousins. [name]Emma[/name], [name]Anna[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Lillian[/name] are just perfect together, imo. Other ideas:
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name] (it’s easy to just list [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name] characters, haha)
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name] (not so [name]Jane[/name]-[name]Austen[/name], but I think it’d fit with her cousins. Although [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Hannah[/name] are probably too close…)
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name]/[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Elinor[/name]
Thanks everyone for all of the great suggestions!
I really love [name]Alice[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], and [name]Felicity[/name] but my hubby has rejected them all.
To complicate matters we have good friends with girls named [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Isabella[/name], and [name]Evelyn[/name] so those are all out.
And I also come from a very large family so I have cousins named [name]Julia[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Leah[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], and [name]Gianna[/name] just to name a few.
I love the [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name]/British type of names! It is just difficult finding something isn’t too popular but still classic and pretty.
I’m thinking we might need to look at some of these names again:
None of these are my DD. I have a little boy named [name]Benjamin[/name] and our last name starts with a T so I’m afraid that anything that ends with a -tte would be hard to say.
I realize many of these have already been suggested but I’m just endorsing them by reposting (hope you don’t mind!). My thought was British, [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name]-type names too.
