We have three girls named:
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] (sophie)
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Everleigh[/name_f] (izzie)
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f] (ellie)
We are wanting to wait until baby is born to find out the gender, but I can’t help but assume it’s another girl. I feel like we are all named out. I’ve been through 1000’s of baby name lists. There is nothing I like left, he wants something different, I just want it to be girly and go with the 3 older girls names. 6 letters + cute nickname. He likes [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] (lillie) but I’m really just not that into the name. I’m really starting to pray this baby is a boy just so I dont have to choose another girl name, lol…
Edit (So I caved and got an ultrasound and of course baby number 4 is indeed another girl!)
Right now we’ve told a few family members that we are going with Violet, but I dont love the name honestly. My 6 yr old picked it because it’s her favorite color… I dont know about the nickname tho everyone automatically says Vi, but I really dont like that and so now I’m really second guessing the name all together?
So I’m going to be a bit loose with the 6 letter rule and here is why -
Rules should streamline your search but not be restrictive and it restricts you from a lot. For example [name_f]Florence[/name_f] would be a great suggestion but it’s 8 not 6.
It’s not a particularly obvious pattern eg. [name_f]Brittany[/name_f] , [name_u]Bristol[/name_u] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] so I think it’s very unlikely anyone will point it out.
I’ll try my best to keep it within six but I’m not keeping it hard and fast here.
I like [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] but [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] / [name_f]Lily[/name_f] seems that little bit too close to [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] / [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and potentially [name_u]Issy[/name_u].
So we did end up finding out babys gender and yep another girl!
So we’ve got a list to fall back on now at least, but I just dont feel like I have “the” name yet…
[name_f]Lillie[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Lilliana[/name_f]
I kinda think I might need to see her to decide but I am so nervous she will be born and I’ll decide those names dont fit…
Girly, 6 letters, cute nickname, maybe a bit different.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] could have the nn [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] (pronounced like vivvy to match her sisters. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would make a nice middle though)
Or you could combine and use a girly first name that has the nickname style you like such as [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Lacey[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] ([name_f]Sophie[/name_f]), [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] ([name_f]Izzie[/name_f]), [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] ([name_f]Ellie[/name_f]), &… (apologies for repeats & for not following the six-letter rule)
I live [name_f]Violet[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]. I didn’t look through other responses so if these are all repeats, my apologies.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Alison[/name_f] nn [name_u]Sonny[/name_u]
[name_f]Kierra[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kiki[/name_f]
[name_f]Sandra[/name_f] nn [name_u]Sandy[/name_u]
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f] nn [name_f]Coco[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] nn [name_f]Trixie[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] nn [name_f]Flick[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cece[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] or [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Gretel[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Frieda[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] is my favorite! So beautiful! And it goes so well with your oldest daughters’ names. [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] would be my second choice. It’s very sweet.
The first thing that came mind was [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. Then I realized it’s six letters too! [name_u]Jules[/name_u] or [name_u]Jet[/name_u] for a nickname.
With the sister names I love:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]/[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
Since you don’t seem hyped about [name_f]Violet[/name_f], don’t settle for it.
Also - I know you have a trend of six letters with the other girls, since it cuts out so many names. It’ll be easier to search if you compile a list first and then, if you still want, narrow it down to names with six letters. That said, I will try to mostly have girl names with six letters and a cute nickname below, but there with probably be exceptions.
