So my husband and I are having an impossible time agreeing on a girl name. We just can’t seem to find anything we both love. Can you give me any suggestions
He liked/I don’t: [name]Gabrielle[/name], [name]Ansley[/name]
We both kinda like: [name]Lily[/name], [name]Amelia[/name]
Our last name is a unique [name]German[/name] name that starts with a V and we would like to use [name]Ann[/name] (family name) as a middle name if possible.
Based on the two names that you both sort of like, my first suggestions are [name]Camellia[/name] (flower name that sounds like [name]Amelia[/name] and that I like better with [name]Ann[/name]) and [name]Cecily[/name] (sounds a little like [name]Lily[/name] but not as overused, and sounds great with [name]Ann[/name]). I’ll try to think of more possibilities and bombard you with them soon
I really like both [name]Lilly[/name] [name]Ann[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Ann[/name], though if neither of you love it, I would keep searching. Other possibilities…
I forgot about [name]Ivy[/name]–here is another two-syllable botanical name that ends with an “ee” sound, and is familiar but not as common as [name]Lily[/name], if that’s a consideration.
[name]Hi[/name] Maltwin. I love the names you prefer ([name]Violet[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Margaret[/name]…), and am so sorry you’re having a hard time agreeing. You husband seems to favor trendy names, but I’m sure there’s a name you can both agree on.
I personally think that first names ending with an A don’t don’t flow well with middle names beginning in A (in this case, [name]Ann[/name]), so I’d stick with non-A endings with [name]Ann[/name] in the middle.
[name]Annabelle[/name] (stick the [name]Ann[/name] name up front, instead of using it as a middle, and your husband gets a name similar to [name]Gabrielle[/name])
[name]Anneliese[/name] (ditto, plus it’s [name]German[/name])
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Ann[/name] ([name]German[/name]…)
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Ann[/name] (the classic [name]Audrey[/name] to replace his [name]Ansley[/name])
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Ann[/name] (not the best flow…)
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Marielle[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Mirabel[/name]/[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Ann[/name] (not the best flow…or you could go with [name]Vivianne[/name], sticking the ann up front)
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name] [name]Ann[/name]
But [name]Lily[/name] is getting very common. What about [name]Lila[/name]? Or [name]Jillian[/name] ([name]Jill[/name]). Or I too thought of [name]Juliet[/name] - similar to both your lists. [name]Love[/name] that name!
He liked/I don’t: [name]Gabrielle[/name], [name]Ansley[/name]
We both kinda like: [name]Lily[/name], [name]Amelia[/name]
Our last name is a unique [name]German[/name] name that starts with a V and we would like to use [name]Ann[/name] (family name) as a middle name if possible.
[name]Amelia[/name] is so pretty. So is [name]Lily[/name], but it’s too popular.
Other ideas:
[name]Ottilie[/name]
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Nathalie[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name] nn [name]Vivi[/name] - does it sound okay with your last name?
[name]Iris[/name] - flower name that I just love!
[name]Camille[/name] - another favorite
[name]Jacaranda[/name] nn [name]Jackie[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name] nn [name]Tansy[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name] nn [name]Rose[/name] or [name]Rosie[/name]
[name]Sidonie[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Bryony[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Thalia[/name]
My husband has boring name taste, but he actually loves the name [name]Veronica[/name]. I love it, too!
[name]Mireille[/name] nn [name]Miri[/name] (meer-AY)
[name]Genevieve[/name] nn [name]Ginny[/name], [name]Evie[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name] nn [name]Miri[/name] (Mirror-ee)
[name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] nn [name]Josie[/name]
[name]Irene[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Hollis[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
You could name her [name]Annalise[/name], [name]Annabel[/name], [name]Analisa[/name], [name]Angelina[/name], [name]Annika[/name] or [name]Anna[/name] and honor [name]Ann[/name] in her first name.
