Baby's about here and we're almost to the perfect name!

Girl Names

Our baby should be here in about a week, and we’ve almost decided on her name. Almost :slight_smile: Thanks for everyone’s help so far!

Our final two names are [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. We decided to take both names with us to the hospital and decide once she is born. However, we haven’t finalized the middle name for either choice yet. We’d love your input in helping us decide!

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I like the one syllable middle, and love the meaning, even though the meaning of ‘[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]’ is a turn-off to some, I don’t take it to mean anything sensual. DH loves the name and it’s meaning.)

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I love the sound of ‘[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]’ as a middle, I’m not too keen on the meaning or the [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] reference but I think it is vintage-y and pretty with [name_f]Stella[/name_f] as a first name.)

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (This was our original choice and I think it’s beautiful, but DH really wants to use [name_f]Marina[/name_f] as a first name at some point if we have another daughter. Also some people weren’t too keen on both names ending in -a which doesn’t really bother me i don’t think. The possible ‘stella maris’ virgin mary reference might be seen with this combo too.)

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I love the middle name [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. I love the meaning and I love that it’s earthy. So far no one on nameberry has seemed to like it much with [name_f]Stella[/name_f] as a first name though.)

• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I like the one syllable middle, and love the meaning, even though the meaning of ‘[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]’ is a turn-off to some, I don’t take it to mean anything sensual. DH loves the name and it’s meaning.)

• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I love the middle name [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. I love the meaning and I love that it’s earthy. This is probably our favorite middle with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and the one we were planning to go with. The only reason we hesitated is when I wondered if ‘[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]’ seemed too much like [name_u]Silver[/name_u], another color name. I hope most people don’t think so, as I love the combo, but I can’t decide.)

• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I think this is a really pretty combo.)

• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] (I think this is a pretty combo, and seems to be a nameberry favorite from our list. The name [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is probably my least favorite middle for [name_f]Violet[/name_f] though. I’m not sure why.)

Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I love, love [name_f]Stella[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - I agree with you on the meaning of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], I think it is nice. The combo does feel sort of abrupt with two one syllable names.

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this :slight_smile: My favorite combo you have. I honestly don’t think of [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], I think of [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] (former US President). I love what [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] adds to [name_f]Stella[/name_f]

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - not my style

• [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - I love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], but I have to say, I don’t like the way it sounds with [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] would be cute in the future!

• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - feels a little less abrupt than [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] because [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is 3 syllables, but still not in love

• [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - This is my favorite combo you have for [name_f]Violet[/name_f]! I love it <3

• Violet Estelle Hart - I would prefer Violet Estella Hart, but still very pretty! My #2 combo you have for Violet.

• Violet Evangeline Hart - I adore Evangeline, but for some reason I don’t love it with Violet.

So my vote goes to Stella Monroe, followed by Violet Sylvie! :slight_smile:

Congrats on soon to be here little girl!

From the [name_f]Stella[/name_f] combos, I really adore:

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m], however, if you think you would prefer [name_f]Marina[/name_f] as a first name, then go with [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]!

From the [name_f]Violet[/name_f] combos, my favorites are:

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - This name combination is very stunning, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] sounds so beautiful.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - I love the name [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] so I am a bit biased, but it does sound good together.

My two favorites are [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. Good luck!

5

My favourites are [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m]. But I vote for the first combo simply because I prefer [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] has a beautiful meaning, “star from the sea”, but it’s a bit too much for me, as both meanings are quite obvious.

Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

6

My favorite combos are [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m].

Congratulations on your little girl!

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are two lovely choices. I think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] flows better with [name_m]Hart[/name_m] because [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ends the same way as your surname. From your mn list, I would rate them as follows:

1 [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - most people wouldn’t even know the meaing of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].
2 [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - this combo sounds kind of cool
3 [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is too pretty in the middle spot so I would keep it for a second daughter.
4 [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - too many s’s and l’s in the combo

1 [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - I love how the “g” in [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] breaks up the straight line in the combo. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] means " bearer of good news" and that’s what a new life emcompasses. :slight_smile:
2 [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - I love the vintage charm of this combo.
3 [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - pretty combo
4 [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - one too many v’s

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] is amazing! I wish I could use it, but I used up [name_f]Stella[/name_f] on my cat before having kids was on my radar! :confused:

I also love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] is cute as well.

So those are my 1-2-and-3 votes!

P.S. I think the meaning of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is a bonus! I interpret ‘intoxicating’ in regard to her beauty, inside and out.

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - Beautiful.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - I agree with everything you said about [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u].
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - Super pretty. But then I’d love to see [name_f]Marina[/name_f] as fn too, so…
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - Not a fan, sorry.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - nice :slight_smile:
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - My second favourite [name_f]Violet[/name_f] combo. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] sounds really pretty.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - Probably my favourite. You get to use both your top choice names (though one of them use [name_m]French[/name_m] variant rather than Italian). :slight_smile:
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] - If it is your least favourite, simply don’t use it.

My favorite is [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m], followed by [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m]. I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] too, but I sometimes see it as [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Mauve[/name_f].

11

My favourites are [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. There is not one of those names I do not adore.

My favourites are [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m].

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] is amazing!

15

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u]!! We like [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] as a mn for our girls name as well.

16

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. Would you do [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]? I think that’s lovely too.

17

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] are my faves!

18

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] & [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] are my favorites.

19

I love [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], equally so. I also love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], but you don’t seem sold on it. I was one of the people who mentioned the [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] connection before, and I stick with that. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is gorgeous though! However, I think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] or [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would make great sisters!

I personally prefer [name_f]Stella[/name_f] to [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

From your list, [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] sound best to me.
