General Name Discussion
1

I have only 10 weeks left and no inkling of a name!! Help!

I’d like a name that would compliment [name]Juliette[/name] (our 2 year old who we sometimes call [name]Jules[/name]) but not be too common or out there either. Here is a small list (in no particular order) that I have so far, thoughts and suggestions are GREATLY appreciate!

[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Millicent[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]

Oh, I almost forgot my other names too:
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name], and
[name]Eloise[/name].

Thank you for your comments!

I love the name [name]Juliette[/name]! And you have some great options picked out for [name]Baby[/name] #2!

Here are my thoughts:

[name]Nora[/name] – “[name]Light[/name].” A little less feminissima than [name]Juliette[/name], but a great name regardless. No nn options.

[name]Fiona[/name] – “Fair.” A beautiful name but for some reason, I don’t see it with [name]Juliette[/name] as much as some of your other choices. Not really any nn options.

[name]Beatrice[/name] – “She who brings happiness.” I’ve never been able to get on board with this one. Despite the common Shakespearean ancestry, it seems rather stuffy compared to the airy [name]Juliette[/name]. Nns: [name]Bea[/name], [name]Tricia[/name]…

[name]Vivienne[/name] – “Life” Another name I’ve never personally gotten, but I think it pairs quite nicely with [name]Juliette[/name], particularly with this spelling. Cute nicknames: [name]Viva[/name], [name]Viv[/name], [name]Vi[/name], [name]Enna[/name]…

[name]Evangeline[/name] – “Bearer of good news.” Beautiful and darling, and lovely with [name]Juliette[/name]-- lots of good nickname options. [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Jules[/name] or [name]Lina[/name] and [name]Jules[/name] work well together as nicknames!

[name]Eleanor[/name] – “[name]Light[/name]” Beautiful and classy. I think [name]Eleanora[/name] would pair better with [name]Juliette[/name]. Could call her [name]Nora[/name] or [name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Ella[/name].

[name]Annabelle[/name] – “Loving.” a little earthier than [name]Juliette[/name] to my ears. Nns: [name]Belle[/name]/[name]Bella[/name], [name]Annie[/name]…

[name]Millicent[/name] – “Strong in work.” The only one of your names I’m not feeling at all, with or without [name]Juliette[/name]. I just can’t get images of evil stepmothers out of my head. I like the [name]Melisende[/name]/[name]Melisande[/name] form much better though! Nns: [name]Millie[/name]

[name]Genevieve[/name] – “White wave” Would you go with the French or the English pronunciation? Either way this name is gorgeous, feminine and light all at the same time, just like [name]Juliette[/name]. Would it bother you to repeat the “J” sound in your girls names? Some good nn options here too: [name]Gigi[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Viva[/name], [name]Gen[/name]…

[name]Matilda[/name] --“Battle mighty.” Too heavy and stuffy for [name]Juliette[/name]. Nns: [name]Mattie[/name], [name]Tillie[/name]…

[name]Evelyn[/name] – “Desired.” [name]Love[/name] this with [name]Juliette[/name]. Nns: [name]Evie[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Lyn[/name], [name]Ellie[/name]…

[name]Eloise[/name] – “Wide.” The meaning and the “weeze” sound has always thrown me off for this name. Otherwise, it flows quite nicely with [name]Juliette[/name]. Nns: [name]Ellie[/name]…

My favorites from your list:
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name]*
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name]

*= the winner! :slight_smile:

Good luck!

[name]Hi[/name]!

I’d say [name]Eloise[/name] or [name]Vivienne[/name], but I’m putting my confidence in [name]Vivienne[/name]. Great compliment to [name]Juliette[/name] “[name]Jules[/name].”

[name]Lemon[/name] :slight_smile:

I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Juliette[/name].

[name]Nora[/name]: Next to [name]Juliette[/name], [name]Nora[/name] seems lackluster-- I like it as a nickname for [name]Annora[/name] or [name]Eleanor[/name] (which I see is on your list).

[name]Fiona[/name]: I adore the name [name]Fiona[/name], and I love it with [name]Juliette[/name]!!

[name]Beatrice[/name]: [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] have never been my favorite names, but they’re growing on me…

[name]Vivienne[/name]: I love it, and it’s perfect with [name]Juliette[/name]!

[name]Evangeline[/name]: I like it, even though it’s a little too religious sounding for me, and it’s nice with [name]Juliette[/name].

[name]Eleanor[/name]: I think it’s great!

[name]Annabelle[/name]: I prefer the spelling [name]Annabel[/name], though [name]Annabelle[/name] might fit better with the French [name]Juliette[/name]. [name]Lovely[/name] name!

[name]Millicent[/name]: I’ve always hated this name-- it’s like millipedes and centipedes combined! I do like [name]Melisande[/name], though.

[name]Genevieve[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] it!! [name]Genevieve[/name] is one of my favorite names, and it’s perfect with [name]Juliette[/name] (except for the beginning sounds, if that bothers you…).

My favorites are [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], and [name]Genevieve[/name], but all of them are gorgeous (except maybe [name]Millicent[/name]) so you really can’t go wrong!

[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Zara[/name]

Oops! Forgot [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], and [name]Eloise[/name]! I really don’t like [name]Evelyn[/name] (it sounds whiny and weak, for some reason), but I do like [name]Matilda[/name] a lot, and [name]Eloise[/name] was on my list of suggestions, so I love it with [name]Juliette[/name]!

8

[name]Nora[/name]: Cute, but since [name]Eleanor[/name] is on your list, why not keep [name]Nora[/name] as a nn?
[name]Fiona[/name]: I really like [name]Fiona[/name] with [name]Juliette[/name]. They’re different, but work as a pair.
[name]Beatrice[/name]: I prefer [name]Beatrix[/name], and think it works wonderfully with [name]Juliette[/name]!
[name]Vivienne[/name]: [name]Love[/name] w/ [name]Juliette[/name]!
[name]Evangeline[/name]: Ditto!
[name]Eleanor[/name]: I really like this with [name]Juliette[/name], and [name]Jules[/name] and [name]Nora[/name] (even [name]Nor[/name]) are great together.
[name]Annabelle[/name]: Works wonderfully w/ [name]Juliette[/name] (though I like the [name]Annabel[/name] spelling). [name]Jules[/name] and [name]Annie[/name] are adorable together.
[name]Millicent[/name]: So-so
[name]Genevieve[/name]: [name]Love[/name]! Might be a bit matchy with [name]Juliette[/name] if that sort of thing bugs you.
[name]Matilda[/name]: Such a sweet name, but it sounds a tiny bit frumpy next to [name]Juliette[/name].
[name]Evelyn[/name]: Not an [name]Evelyn[/name] fan for some reason.
[name]Eloise[/name]: [name]Love[/name]!

My top picks
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name]

Oh, almost forgot, how do you feel about [name]Delphine[/name]? I think she’d be a great sister to [name]Juliette[/name] :slight_smile:

[name]Hi[/name]!

I love [name]Juliette[/name]!!! :slight_smile:

My favorites from your list with [name]Juliette[/name] are [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name]. I love [name]Genevieve[/name], too, but the vieve ending reminds me of viv from [name]Vivienne[/name].

So, here’s one vote for [name]Vivienne[/name], with [name]Annabelle[/name] in second! :slight_smile:

Another name you may like with [name]Juliette[/name] is [name]Emmeline[/name]. (I think it may have been suggested, but I can’t remember.) [name]Even[/name] though [name]Emmeline[/name] isn’t French, it has the same cheerful, feminine feel to me as [name]Juliette[/name].

Good luck! :slight_smile:

[name]Juliette[/name] is a lovely choice. [name]Do[/name] you mind if I ask what her middle name is?

[name]Nora[/name]: Seems tame in comparison.
[name]Fiona[/name]: I like this combo a lot! Very different names, but both light and feminine.
[name]Vivienne[/name]: Very cute with [name]Juliette[/name], except the endings “enne” and “ette” are very similar. If you’re planning on having any more children, it might tie you down into a “e__e” ending theme for girls.
[name]Annabelle[/name]: Ditto [name]Vivienne[/name].
[name]Evangeline[/name]: Never been a fan of this name. I can’t picture it anywhere but a nursing home.
[name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Eloise[/name]: Ditto [name]Evangeline[/name], but to a lesser extent. I think they would bog down the whimsical [name]Juliette[/name].
[name]Millicent[/name]: I can’t picture anything but [name]Millicent[/name] Bulstrode from [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]. I know most people wouldn’t have that association, but I still would not recommend this name.
[name]Genevieve[/name]: A good combo, as long as the identical starting sounds don’t bother you.
[name]Matilda[/name]: [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Juliette[/name] feel different to me. I think you need something a bit more feminine.
[name]Evelyn[/name]: I like this with [name]Juliette[/name], although [name]Evelyn[/name] seems like she would definitely be the quieter of the two.

My favorite of your suggestions is [name]Fiona[/name], with [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name] tied for second. I also love [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Francesca[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Amelie[/name]*, and [name]Catherine[/name] from others’ suggestions.

*[name]Amelie[/name] and [name]Juliette[/name] are PERFECT together, in my opinion :slight_smile:

11

[name]Vivienne[/name], definitely!

12

Thanks guys! I’m starting to feel a little bit better about this now…at least my initial thoughts weren’t out in left field and I appreciate all of the suggestions!

Hubs and I have date night [name]Saturday[/name], so hopefully over dinner we can squeak something out and alleviate my stress level just a bit :o) We haven’t even discussed middle names either though, ha! I’ll repost when we get it narrowed down and get your thoughts then.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wow, that’s overall such a great list. And [name]Juliet[/name] is my favourite name right now too. [name]Lovely[/name]!

[name]Nora[/name] - Cute, but not substantial enough with [name]Juliette[/name]. It seems too sombre.
[name]Fiona[/name] - [name]Fiona[/name] is so darling. I can see [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] together.
[name]Beatrice[/name] - I little too stuffy with [name]Juliette[/name] but I do like it otherwise.
[name]Vivienne[/name] - I’m personally not a huge fan of [name]Vivienne[/name] but I can see it pairing with [name]Juliette[/name] nicely.
[name]Evangeline[/name] - [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] are cute together.
[name]Eleanor[/name] - [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name] would be nice. As would [name]Eleanora[/name].
[name]Annabelle[/name] - [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name] are a great match! Especially with [name]Annabelle[/name] spelt like this.
[name]Millicent[/name] - Noooo.
[name]Genevieve[/name] - So pretty! I like [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] together, but I’m not sure about the similar beginnings.
[name]Matilda[/name] - Too heavy with [name]Juliette[/name].
[name]Evelyn[/name] - I think [name]Evelyn[/name] is lovely, and one of my favourites, especially with the nickname [name]Evie[/name], but it is getting popular.
[name]Eloise[/name] - [name]Eloise[/name] is lovely and goes really well with [name]Juliette[/name] too.

I think my favourites with [name]Juliette[/name] are:
[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]

Runners-up:
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]

14

[name]Juliette[/name] and…

[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Eloise[/name] would be beautiful!
I also really like [name]Genevieve[/name] - any middle name ideas?

15

[name]Nora[/name] - I like this name quite a lot, although I like it better as a nn. [name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Nora[/name] would sound really cute with [name]Juliette[/name]. Or maybe, since you went the more feminine route with the [name]Juliette[/name] spelling, you might prefer to do the same and use [name]Eleanora[/name], [name]Leonora[/name], etc.
[name]Fiona[/name] - This one has such beautiful vowels. It reminds me of [name]Naomi[/name], except that I like [name]Fiona[/name] much better.
[name]Beatrice[/name] - One of my favorite names ever! It would PERFECTLY suit [name]Juliette[/name] as her sister’s name!
[name]Vivienne[/name] - The only thing I would worry about this one is the spelling…the -ette and -enne seem a little matchy-matchy to me, especially so with their same number of syllables. However, [name]Vivian[/name] or [name]Viviana[/name] would work great!
[name]Evangeline[/name] - Another good choice to go with [name]Juliette[/name]. This name is very strong, like [name]Juliette[/name], but feminine.
[name]Eleanor[/name] - [name]Ah[/name]-ha! See “[name]Nora[/name]” above.
[name]Annabelle[/name] - Same as with [name]Vivienne[/name]–the -elle with -ette seems similarly matchy-matchy. [name]Annabel[/name] works well, though, and conveys the same style.
[name]Millicent[/name] - A lovely name, with nn [name]Millie[/name] to add to it!
[name]Genevieve[/name] - I used to not really like this name, but it’s grown on me a little. [name]Eve[/name] is a pretty nn.

More for you to consider:
[name]Allegra[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name]
[name]Sabina[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name]
[name]Venetia[/name]
[name]Lavinia[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Araminta[/name]
[name]Antonia[/name]

[name]EDIT[/name]:
[name]Matilda[/name] - Ooh, again, a favorite! [name]Matilda[/name] and Juilette compliment eachother amazingly. Not to mention that [name]Matilda[/name] has about a gazillion nn’s ([name]Matty[/name], [name]Millie[/name], [name]Tilly[/name], [name]Tilda[/name], [name]Mally[/name], [name]Tildy[/name], Mitty, [name]Mila[/name], [name]Maude[/name], [name]Tila[/name], Liddy, etc.)
[name]Evelyn[/name] - [name]Tea[/name]-and-lacy-er than [name]Evangeline[/name], but less popular, too, and probably the next big thing. It goes well with [name]Juliette[/name].
[name]Eloise[/name] - I love this! It sounds cute with [name]Juliette[/name], and I could see an [name]Ellie[/name] or Lo playing with [name]Jules[/name]. One of my top picks.

Good luck naming! (-:
