So we’re still trying to come up with a new name for our daughter…she’ll be born in 6 weeks if I go to my induction date. We were thinking of trying to honor one of SOs grandmothers, since the middle name ([name]Estelle[/name]) is supposed to honor my aunt ([name]Esther[/name]). [name]Esther[/name] and [name]Estelle[/name] aren’t too far off are they? They both mean star… We’re trying to pick names without outright choosing the same name. His grandmothers are [name]Irene[/name] and [name]Eugenia[/name]. No idea how to go forward with this. Any help? [name]Don[/name]'t really know where to go with this, and we don’t want exact names, more like derivatives, or names with similar meanings. I’m pretty stuck at the moment with this. We decided to try naming after family since we’re having a hard time agreeing to each other’s original ideas for names.
[name]Eugenia[/name] means noble, as do…
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Adelie[/name]
[name]Alina[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Brianna[/name]
[name]Irene[/name] means peace, as do…
[name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Mira[/name]
[name]Shiloh[/name]
[name]Amani[/name]
Good luck!
[name]Irena[/name] [name]Estelle[/name] is lovely. You can also try [name]Geena[/name]/[name]Gena[/name]/[name]Jenna[/name] [name]Estelle[/name].
[name]Irena[/name] [name]Estelle[/name] is really pretty!
[name]Irena[/name] [name]Estelle[/name] would be lovely! Or maybe [name]Rena[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]? [name]Salome[/name] is another name that means peace. [name]Irene[/name] reminds me of the male [name]Ira[/name] (which [name]Pam[/name] and [name]Linda[/name] think is a gender switch candidate), which reminds me of [name]Lyra[/name] and [name]Myra[/name]. [name]Eugenia[/name] could lead to [name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Genie[/name] and [name]Jean[/name]. Are these too much of a stretch?
Some of these might be too out there for you, but you might like looking through this post from the blog British [name]Baby[/name] Names on Eu- names:
[name]Eugenia[/name]-Am liking [name]Eugenie[/name] currently, despite the royal family connection. [name]Geena[/name] and [name]Jenna[/name] are both nicknames for [name]Eugenia[/name] that could stand on their own. [name]Zenya[/name] is a Russian variation of [name]Eugenia[/name].
[name]Irene[/name]-[name]Irina[/name] is a Russian variation. [name]Arcadia[/name] also means peace.
I believe [name]Nadia[/name]/[name]Nadine[/name] also mean “peace”, to give you another option. Good luck!
[name]Eugenia[/name] - could be [name]Gina[/name] or just [name]Jean[/name]. Or any extension of them.
[name]Irene[/name] - can’t think of anything different.
[name]Jean[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Jeana[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Regina[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Georgina[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Gina[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Jeannine[/name] [name]Estelle[/name] (Potentially honors [name]Eugenia[/name] ("[name]Jean[/name]") and [name]Irene[/name] (-ine)
I also like the suggestion of [name]Irena[/name]/[name]Irina[/name]/[name]Rena[/name]/[name]Rina[/name] too.
