Complete the sibset for baby #3

ebac · September 13, 2025, 6:27pm

We’re expecting baby #3[name_f][/name_f] in [name_m]December[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]— and it’s a girl after two boys! Her big brothers are [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] (Des/Desi) and [name_m]August[/name_m] (Augie). We’d prefer a name that matches their style: something longer, vintage, and with a sweet nickname option.

[name_f][/name_f]

Here are our current favorites:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (Nellie): I love this one, but it feels a little too common for my taste, and I don’t love the nickname [name_f]Ellie[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] (Millie or Mila): I like this, but I don’t love the nickname [name_f]Cami[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]— and I worry that’s what people might call her.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]: I adore this name, but unfortunately can’t use it due to a personal association.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] (Frankie): This is my husband’s top pick, and it’s a family name (big bonus!) [name_f][/name_f]— but I just don’t love it.
[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

We’d love any other suggestions or ideas for baby sister’s name!

Of yours, I contend [name_f]Camille[/name_f] is the best balance for the sibset. [name_m]Just[/name_m] established whatever nickname you’d like (other options include [name_m]Cam[/name_m], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], Mill).

[name_f][/name_f]

Here are some other options I adore with bro’s names.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Linny[/name_f], [name_f]Nea[/name_f], [name_f]Linn[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Julianna[/name_f] or [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] nn [name_f]Julia[/name_f] or [name_f]Julie[/name_f], [name_m]Jules[/name_m] for both or Lia/Anna Etta/Ettie

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Georgianna[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gia[/name_f], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Georgie[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Suzette[/name_f] nn Zetti, [name_f]Suzi[/name_f], Ettie/Etta

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marietta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mari[/name_f], [name_m]Ari[/name_m], Ettie/Etta

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tori[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f], [name_f]Vicki[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nessa[/name_f], [name_m]Essa[/name_m], [name_m]Vannie[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tati[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Ana[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Rosella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], Zelli/Zella

[name_f][/name_f]

Hopefully these help!

Your sons have fab names!

Of your options, I like Camille (Millie or Mila) a lot - vintage, pretty and unexpected. That said, Cami is a possibility, and while I think the full name being used is more likely, it doesn’t guarantee people won’t use it. That said - is it one you hate or could grow to like or tolerate if she liked it?

I quite like Francis too - simple and classic and Eleanor is sweet and charming with strength too!

A few more ideas:

Noelle (Nellie, Nolie)
Colette (Lettie, Coco, Ettie)
Frederica (Freda, Freddie)
Francesca (Frankie)
Francine (Frankie)
Constance (Connie, Tansy)
Beatrice (Bea, Betsy)
Annabelle (Belle, Annie)
Ingrid (Indie, Iggie)
Ramona (Romy)
Matilda (Millie, Tilly, Tilda)

daisydarcy · September 13, 2025, 7:52pm

Congratulations! Your sons have such handsome names! From your current list, I think my favorite is [name_f]Camille[/name_f] – but if you dislike [name_f]Cami[/name_f], I’d avoid using it.

[name_f][/name_f]

Some suggestions you might like based off this list:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] “Dot / Teddy”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Penelope[/name_f] “Penny / Nell”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] “Corey / [name_f]Nella[/name_f] / Nell”

[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ramona[/name_f] “Romy / [name_m]Mo[/name_m] / Remy”

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped!

bellamarin · September 13, 2025, 8:49pm

I think [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] has more of that linger, vintage charm and you could still honour and use [name_m]Frankie[/name_m]

katinka · September 13, 2025, 9:50pm

[name_f]Leonore[/name_f]! [name_m]Long[/name_m] but not frilly, sleek and beautiful, and you could still use [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] for short.

[name_f][/name_f]

Many congratulations by the way

kachenka · September 14, 2025, 2:10am

I’ll put my support behind [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], as you clearly love it. It’s sweet and grounded and well loved for a reason. Though I understand preferring something a little less popular. I would add that [name_f]Camila[/name_f] is more popular than [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] in the US so you may find that makes [name_f]Camille[/name_f] feel more common too.

[name_f][/name_f]

Some suggestions based on your list:

[name_f][/name_f]

Eleanor is my favourite. I’d choose the nickname Nell.

Camille could be Millie, which is sweet.

I do like Frances, but if you don’t love it, perhaps you could use it in the middle spot?

There’s also Francesca, if you like that.
Eleanora is also an option with nickname Nora.
Leonora is Eleanor spelt another way for something more unusual

You might also consider

Helena ‘Nell’
Luella ‘Lulu’
Lillian ‘Lily’
Susannah ‘Susie’
Lydia ‘Liddie or Dia’
Joanna ‘Jo, Joan or Annie’
Felicity ‘Flick or the prettier Fliss’
Alicia ‘Alli or Lissi’
Aveline ‘Ava or Lena’
Estelle ‘Stell or Stella’
Lucia ‘Lucy’
Elaina nn Lainey

Personally though, if you love Eleanor overall, pick it. Having an unusual name does not guarantee your child will be the only one in the class. When I was expecting my son, I wanted Felicity for a girl, which back then was very rare. When he went to school, he had a classmate called Felicity. So, there might have been two!

EloiseT · September 14, 2025, 11:17am

Congrats!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] assorted thoughts: I agree with Leonor(e) being a lovely option that rages [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] out of mix (I don’t like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] either) [name_f][/name_f]- Leonor(e) gives [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Leni[/name_f] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] & [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. [name_f]Helena[/name_f] could be a lovely option too.

[name_f][/name_f]

I love the name [name_f]Frances[/name_f] but I really don’t like [name_m]Frankie[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I find it honky & abrupt. I would go [name_f]Frances[/name_f] nn [name_f]Franny[/name_f] or Francy, especially with your genteel & literary set. [name_f]Francine[/name_f] would be good too and give some visual length.

[name_f][/name_f]

I really like the super chic [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- but it would have to be the [name_f]French[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cami[/name_f] for me. What about [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] nn [name_f]Milly[/name_f] / [name_f]Romy[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

Other names that I think would suit:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] / [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] / [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (Josie, [name_f]Posy[/name_f], Phina)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Bryony[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]

Anna03 · September 14, 2025, 11:23am

We have a [name_f]Leonor[/name_f]. Maybe that is an alternative

elffff · September 14, 2025, 1:30pm

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]! other nicknames could be [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Fan[/name_f]. I also like that it has the -s sound and flows great with brother names.

[name_f][/name_f]

I like [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- On nicknames, if she is going to go primarily by [name_f]Mila[/name_f] or [name_f]Millie[/name_f], then you have to call her that instead of [name_f]Camille[/name_f] and others will follow suit. If she is primarily [name_f]Camille[/name_f], people will likely fall into [name_f]Cami[/name_f], [name_m]Cam[/name_m] nicknames naturally, which I would imagine will grow on you. I think it’s hard to control friendly nicknames, particularly when they’re so natural. But you can call her Millie/Mila, and maybe it will take off, but if not it’s a special nickname you have for her.

[name_f][/name_f]

As for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], I second the [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] suggestion, it’s so chic and a great update to [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Nicknames could be [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

What about [name_f][/name_f]-

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] “Mila"
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Eloise[/name_f] “Lola”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Isadora[/name_f] “Isa”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “Della, Coco”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] “Nellie”

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Desmond[/name_m] & [name_m]August[/name_m] are two of my favorites!

[name_f][/name_f]

Here are my thoughts for their little sister:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (Nellie)-I’m pretty obsessed with [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], and I love it with [name_m]Desi[/name_m] & [name_m]Augie[/name_m]. I totally get that [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is way over done though. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is my favorite. There is also [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f], [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Camille[/name_f] (Millie or Mila)-I like this for you. [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is darling with your crew. I find [name_f]Mila[/name_f] a bit more trendy, but if you were to do [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] I feel like [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mila[/name_f] makes more sense. [name_f]Or[/name_f] [name_f]Camellia[/name_f] if you want to get fancy.

[name_f][/name_f]

Thea-Very sweet, but that’s okay if you can’t use it. Lots of other good options!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Frances[/name_f] (Frankie)-If you don’t love it, nix it off. [name_f][/name_f] Maybe a middle name option?

[name_f][/name_f]

A few other suggestions you may like:

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Camille[/name_f] are darling. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] / [name_f]Mila[/name_f] too. I think if you start by calling them those nicknames, they should stick, but you never know what they’d prefer to be called as they grow up.

I love Eleanor and it seems you do as well, so that gets my vote. It’s strong, elegant and has a bit of pizzazz, like the brothers’ names. Nellie is so sweet and vintage. I appreciate it’s popular, but then again it’s a classic… and better a name you love than one that just fits into certain criteria.

I do like Camille a lot, but she doesn’t seem quite as grand as Desmond and August, so that’s my main reservation.

Frances is awesome. Maybe as a middle name? There’s also Francine.

Ideas -

Francesca (third-ing, could still be Frankie)
Margaret or Marguerite (Meg / Margot / Maggie)
Edith (Edie)
Rosalind (Roz / Rose / Rosie)
Adelaide (Addie / Della / Ada)
Sylvia (Sylvie)
Virginia (Ginny)
Rosemary (Rose / Rosie / Romy)
Miriam (Miri / Mimi)
Magdalena or Magdalen (Magda / Maggie / Leni)
Genevieve (Gen / Ginny / Evie / Vivi)
Cecilia (Cecy / Celia)
Adrienne (Addie)
Antonia (Annie / Toni)
Elspeth (Elsie)
Eugenia or Eugenie (Genie / Jean)
Leona (Leonie / Lea)
Meredith (Merry)
Imogen (Immy / Gen / Ginny)
Constance (Connie / Stanzi)
Dorothea (Dory)
Esther (Essie / Esty)
Josephine (Jo / Josie)
Rosamund (Roz / Rose / Rosie)
Caroline (Carrie / Caro)
Marigold (Mari)
Magnolia (Maggie)
Anneliese (Annie / Elise)
Juliana (Julie / Annie)
Estella (Essie / Stella)

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: [name_f]Love[/name_f] this with [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] as the nickname! It’s very sweet and I think [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] makes it stand out from any other [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Alternatives could be: [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], [name_f]Elinor[/name_f], [name_f]Leonore[/name_f],

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Camille[/name_f]: I went to school with a [name_f]Camille[/name_f] and no one ever called her [name_f]Cami[/name_f] (or any nickname) if that helps

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Thea[/name_f]: this works well with your boys and it’s a shame you can’t use it. Maybe: [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Frances[/name_f]: I really love [name_f]Frances[/name_f], but can understand if it’s not your favorite, If you like [name_m]Frankie[/name_m] as a nickname and like the family connection maybe try: [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] or [name_f]Francine[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

Other suggestions (probably several repeats):

[name_m]Desmond[/name_m] and [name_m]August[/name_m] are so lovely, and your options are beautiful! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is my favorite of these; I don’t love [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] either, but there are enough nn options that I wouldn’t let that hold me back! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Leni[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] (which is a ridiculously huge stretch I know, but it makes sense for me lol), but Nellie/Nell is sweet too! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f] is lovely, and I agree that [name_f]Cami[/name_f] is not my thing, but I think [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], etc., are lovely! [name_f][/name_f] I think something like [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cece[/name_f] or something is also super sweet!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Love[/name_f] that [name_f]Frances[/name_f] honors family for you; I also am not fond of it though. [name_f][/name_f] It could be a lovely middle, though, if you don’t have one picked out yet?

[name_f][/name_f]

Good luck!

I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] for you!

Those names are all good. If you can’t use [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], maybe just Nora(h) and put [name_f]Frances[/name_f] in the middle spot. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] sounds lovely to me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Camille[/name_f] is beautiful, but if it’s a no to [name_f]Cami[/name_f] as nn then maybe just go straight to naming her [name_f]Millie[/name_f] or [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] to be more formal.
