Coming down to the wire... Top 4!

See the results of this poll: Which is your favorite name for our daughter on the way?

Respondents: 67 (This poll is closed)

  • Clara : 22 (33%)
  • Liana : 10 (15%)
  • Violet : 17 (25%)
  • Emily: 18 (27%)

My favorite for you is [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. It sounds so good with [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] and is in the same style. I would choose [name_f]Christine[/name_f] as the middle (Does the ‘uh’ sound at the end of [name_f]Clara[/name_f] get too mixed up with the ‘eh’ at the beginning of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]…?)

If I were you, I’d really avoid pairing [name_f]Emily[/name_f] with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. It makes me immediately think of the girl from [name_m]Clifford[/name_m].

I would like [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] as a sister name to [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]! Second favourite would be [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

  1. Emily Christine
  2. Violet Christine

Not so keen on the others for you - the sounds in Clara and Liana clash with Tyler, and neither seem to fit the middle names half as well as Emily and Violet do. The warm and friendly Emily, on the other hand, sounds just right with Tyler.

I do think Violet Elizabeth sounds nice, but find myself thinking of the spoilt rich girl from the Just William books. I also really like the sweetness of Violet Christine.

Having said that - all four are lovely names, and in the end how well siblings’ names go together shouldn’t be the main deal-breaker.

My top pick for you is [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. It’s classic, yet not overused, and there are a plethora of amazing role models with the name. I think it pairs wonderfully with either middle name choice, and love the shared “l” with [name_u]Tyler[/name_u].

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is stunning

Of the 4 choices I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_f]Emily[/name_f] the best. Of the 4 choices with brother [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] I also think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_f]Emily[/name_f] sound best :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] best, both with middle name [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Pretty choices!

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is by far my favourite name for you. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] both sound good, and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] sounds like she could be [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]'s sister. My second choice would be [name_f]Liana[/name_f].

I adore [name_f]Liana[/name_f]!! All are great choices though. [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would be lovely.

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] is my favorite here with possible midle [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and with sibling [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is my second favorite, it’s nice with middle [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and also works nicely with [name_u]Tyler[/name_u].

So [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are my top picks here.

Torn between [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f]! I love [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

I don’t think you can go wrong w/any of the options, really…

Of the four, my least favorite w/[name_u]Tyler[/name_u] is [name_f]Violet[/name_f] b/c my ear doesn’t care for both of them having long I sounds in their first syllables. W/[name_f]Violet[/name_f] I like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as a middle name.

[name_f]Liana[/name_f] is the most unique of the options [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] sounds better than [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] at least to my ear for the same reason that others have mentioned…the a in [name_f]Liana[/name_f] runs into the E in [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] is a lovely name…very classic. [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] & [name_f]Emily[/name_f] completely sound like a sibling set. W/[name_f]Emily[/name_f] I like [name_f]Christine[/name_f] for two reasons: I have an niece named [name_f]Emily[/name_f] w/a middle name very similar to [name_f]Christine[/name_f], & [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] does make me think of the girl from [name_m]Clifford[/name_m].

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is also a lovely & classic name. For me it’s a bit different style-wise than [name_u]Tyler[/name_u], but it doesn’t sound completely out of place. I’m not sure if I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]'s repeating initial K-sounds, but the a in [name_f]Clara[/name_f] does run into the E in [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for me.

Overall I think [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] is my favorite of your options, w/[name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] as my second choice. Good luck! :slight_smile:

Vote for [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_f]Emily[/name_f]! Honestly think you can’t go wrong :slight_smile:

I have to agree with pp. My top 2 favorites are [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. I slightly prefer [name_f]Emily[/name_f] with [name_u]Tyler[/name_u].

My vote went to sweet, classy [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would make for a lovely combo and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] works well with [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]. Second to [name_f]Clara[/name_f] for me, would be [name_f]Violet[/name_f], which I think fits brilliantly with [name_u]Tyler[/name_u].

I really like [name_f]Liana[/name_f]. [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] both sound lovely. I do also like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but [name_f]Liana[/name_f] is just pretty, fresh and uncommon but familiar.

I voted for [name_f]Emily[/name_f], with [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] in mind. I agree with others who have said it’s the perfect choice with [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]!

Thank you all SO MUCH for the feedback!!!

It seems like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is a favorite in the comments which is great to read as it’s one of my favorites too. My mom loves it as well and has been saying it on repeat this last week since I told her it was a front runner lol! Ironically, she didn’t care for [name_f]Clara[/name_f] when I mentioned it months ago which made me start second guessing it in my first post on here, but it seems to have grown on her since then.

As far as which name we’ll likely go with, I’d say [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] are the most likely scenarios because my husband prefers [name_f]Clara[/name_f] or [name_f]Liana[/name_f] to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f].

I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but he can’t quite seem to get on board with either of them (bummer, but I guess we can only pick one in the end anyway).

So we shall see!!! :smiley: I’m due in less than 3 weeks, and we’ll likely wait to meet her to make it official. After reading through your thoughtful comments though, I feel much more confident that we can’t go wrong with any of the options!!! Thank you so much again for taking the time to vote and/or share your thoughts and have a great weekend!!
