Here we are due with baby #5 this summer and my husband and I are feeling completely uninspired and blank when it comes to naming her!
We currently have 3 boys (all with names that now rank in the Namberry top 50, although they weren’t there when we named them that years ago :)) and we have a little girl named [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. I think naming a second daughter has proved tougher for us because we loved the name [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] for so many years that it was a no-brainer when we finally had a little girl.
We tend to gravitate toward names that could be characters in a book, names that are lighthearted, girlie, soft, and fun. I prefer that they are easy to spell and recognizable as a name. We don’t really care if it’s a top 100 name or way out in left field
So far our list of potentials that we sort of like but don’t love are the following…
On your list I prefer [name_f]Annalie[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. Choosing [name_f]Lily[/name_f] may be too much with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. I really like pp’s suggestions of [name_f]Lula[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Leia[/name_f], and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] for you. More suggestions for [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]'s sister…
I love the thought of [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] as sisters!!!
I also like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f].
Given your maybes list here are some suggestions:
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
My favorites are [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Twila[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f], and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Blythe[/name_f].
Great suggestions! Unfortunately we have animals named [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], & [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]! Why did we pick such great baby names for animals?!?!
Our friends and family have used [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].
My husband likes [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] from your list. I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] is a great name but my husband isn’t a big fan. From your list [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] (used as a nn for [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]) are two of my guilty pleasure names
Wow, lots of suggestions for [name_f]Lola[/name_f]! I’ve always loved the name [name_f]Lola[/name_f] but didn’t know if [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] sounded too “showgirlish” when combined. But obviously it must not if that many people like it.
[name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] are all cute but taken by pets and family members
I adore [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and you have some great options on your list!
My favs:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]**
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
I’d lose:
[name_f]Annalie[/name_f]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f] (just seems a bit much with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f])
My first thought when you said from a storybook was [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] are darling together. From your list, I really like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f].
Other names that seem to ‘go’ with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and/or have a storybook quality are (sorry for repeats):
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f] - like from [name_f]Pippi[/name_f] Longstocking!
