Baby girl name help!

Needing some help with baby girl names. She has a brother, Beckett, and we’ve been stuck on a list of 3 this entire pregnancy!

Blake Elle
Harleigh Jo
Marley Mae
(I also adore Josie but my husband says that’s a no :disappointed:)

I really like Blake for a girl, but don’t necessarily love matchy matchy sibling names…

Any thoughts?

[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] gets my vote!
I also love [name_u]Blake[/name_u] but it does feel pretty matchy

my vote is harleigh jo!!! it’s so adorable and is not matchy like the other names. (they are still adorable)

I think my favorite is [name_u]Blake[/name_u] but I don’t like it with a one syllable middle bc the flow is weird. Maybe [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]? [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Evie[/name_f]? [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]?

I also think [name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], and [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] would be really cute with [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]!

[name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] or [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] perhaps?

Also:
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_u]Noa[/name_u]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Maisy[/name_f]

I think Marley Mae is the best match for Beckett. Blake is definitely matchy, and I’d assume Beckett and Blake were brothers. Harleigh Jo is cute but it feels a bit trendy next to Beckett. I like that Marley has a similar sound but matches Beckett’s style a little better. Plus Marley Mae is so charming!

One thing I noticed that I thought was sweet: Beckett means “bee hive, little brook or bee cottage” and Marley means “pleasant seaside meadow.” I think those meanings just balance beautifully and go so well together!

[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is really sweet and I’d like [name_u]Harley[/name_u] spelled this way.

[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is my favorite from your list.

[name_f]My[/name_f] thoughts were [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] “Josie” or [name_f]Joely[/name_f] [name_f]Maelle[/name_f] /Jolie [name_u]Blake[/name_u]

I know it’s not on your list but what about [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u]?

[name_u]Blake[/name_u] as a first gets my vote. With only two it’s not matchy yet… now if you have a third it could get matchy with a B name.

I do agree with @Babies123456 the middle doesn’t seem to work. IMO the flow seems very off. I almost feel with jt and looking at your other fn options [name_u]Blakely[/name_u] would be more up your ally and then pair it with [name_u]Jo[/name_u] or [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

Ooh, I love your taste in names (Josie is so special to me, shame your husband is not a fan)! I love the alliteration in [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and both names individually, but my favourite would probably be [name_f]Harleigh[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u] - sneaking a little bit of [name_u]Josie[/name_u] in there! [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Jo[/name_u] would also be cute.

Based on the names you like, would you consider:
[name_u]Arley[/name_u] or [name_u]Arlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] or [name_f]Hadlie[/name_f]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Brinkley[/name_f]
[name_u]Loxley[/name_u]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] or [name_f]Maelie[/name_f]?

i love marley mae! marley is adorable on a girl and goes so well with beckett.

personally i would spell it marley may so it’s more consistent, but there’s nothing wrong with marley mae!

I also love [name_u]Josie[/name_u]! There are several ways to get to it as a nickname - [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] come to mind first. Also, recently, [name_u]Jo[/name_u] occurred to me as a viable nickname for [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], so potentially you could get to [name_u]Josie[/name_u] from that…

To me [name_u]Blake[/name_u] is juuuuust on the borderline of being too matchy next to [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]. Would you consider it as a middle name?

Also, [name_u]Briar[/name_u] just came to me - another unisex B name but that doesn’t otherwise sound similar to [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]. [name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_u]Jo[/name_u]? [name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]?

[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Elle[/name_f] doesn’t flow well! Maybe [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]?

[name_f]Harleigh[/name_f] would be a constant spelling correction.

[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is nice but I’m not a fan of the alliteration :slight_smile:

Overall, my vote goes to [name_u]Mars[/name_u] :grin:

[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is really cute! I would love [name_u]Harley[/name_u] [name_u]Jo[/name_u] if spelled this way

All of them are lovely! But my favourite is [name_f]Harleigh[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u].

I love [name_f]Harleigh[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u] and [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f]. I l would prefer [name_u]Harley[/name_u] spelled with an ey, so [name_u]Marley[/name_u] gets my vote. [name_u]Blake[/name_u] is cute, but [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_f]Elle[/name_f] feels abrupt. Maybe try a longer middle?
