Hello. I am 28 weeks and expecting a girl. We have absolutely no clue what we are going to name her. I tend to gravitate toward indie/hipster and old fashioned names. My partner prefers mainstream/ traditional and old fashioned names. My name was incredibly popular growing up so I would like to avoid names falling in the top 50. Outside of the top 100 would be even better. We have a three year old son named [name]Jonah[/name] [name]William[/name]. Help!!!
[name]Hi[/name] and congratulations! I love the name [name]Jonah[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Jonah[/name] and…
[name]Ada[/name]
[name]Adele[/name] or [name]Adela[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
What names have you picked out so far? That would help.
I think these names sound nice with [name]Jonah[/name]:
[name]Valerie[/name]
[name]Bryn[/name]
[name]Roxanne[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Lorraine[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Willow[/name]
[name]Marianne[/name]
[name]Cassandra[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
…I hope I helped!
What about [name]Jonah[/name] and:
[name]Willow[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Marla[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Marcie[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Deidre[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Etta[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name]
[name]Aria[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Verity[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]

Any good?
[name]Jonah[/name] and …
[name]Adelaide[/name] (or [name]Adele[/name])
[name]Dorothy[/name] (so many great nicknames for this one - [name]Dodie[/name], [name]Dotty[/name], [name]Dixie[/name], [name]Dora[/name], [name]Dolly[/name])

[name]Flora[/name]/[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Molly[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Zella[/name].
If you’re willing to go very vintage, [name]Jonah[/name] and [name]Edith[/name] work really well together in my opinion. [name]Jonah[/name] and [name]Edie[/name]. There’s [name]Agatha[/name], [name]Agnes[/name] and [name]Constance[/name], too, which are along the same lines.
If you like [name]Edie[/name] but not [name]Edith[/name], you could go for the initials [name]ED[/name], too (I think a lot of these would work great with [name]Judah[/name] just because, too):
E names:
[name]Edda[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Etta[/name]
[name]Esme[/name]
D names:
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Delia[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name]
[name]Dell/name
[name]Delphi[/name]/[name]Delphine[/name]/a
[name]Dixie[/name]
[name]Doretta[/name]
[name]Dorinda[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]/[name]Dorothea[/name].
Good luck!

I hope that helps!
[name]Jonah[/name] is great.
If you are looking for something unique there’s Elloa (pronounced E-lo-a) paired with something simple like [name]Jane[/name] or [name]Jean[/name].
Something classic with the same feeling as [name]Jonah[/name] would be [name]Miriam[/name], perhaps matched up with [name]Rosalie[/name] or [name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is a combo name that I just heard and thought was terrific as a full name combining one super traditional name with one that is on the cusp of rediscovery.
All go well with [name]Jonah[/name].
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful suggestions, everyone! I love so many. : ) We’re actually considering a few of them, a huge step. I’ll keep you posted on what we decide.
