Elsa or Stella?

[name_u]Baby[/name_u] girl #2 is on her way and we’re trying to settle on her name!

We love both [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] but just can’t decide! Which do you like better?

[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] ([name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] is a combination of two family names)

She has a big brother named [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and a big sister named [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. If you don’t think either one would go nicely, please give another suggestion!

Ooooh I love [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]! That said, neither is a bad choice!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], but I think it might be too similar to big sister [name_f]Alice[/name_f]'s name. I can understand why you like that sound!
Some other ideas:
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] is lovely, I find [name_f]Stella[/name_f] a bit severe for some reason.

I love [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

I was concerned that [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] may be too close to [name_f]Alice[/name_f] (that’s secretly my favorite between our two choices). We had briefly discussed using [name_f]Lila[/name_f] but we are just worried about all the other spellings (and pronunciations) that we didn’t want to have it become an issue

[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] definitely! It’s such a stunning name :slight_smile:

I really like both your choices, although I’m leaning a little more towards [name_f]Stella[/name_f], I don’t think [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] are close.

[name_f]Isla[/name_f] is a great suggestion and not so close to [name_f]Alice[/name_f].

[name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] (or [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]).

We had looked into the name [name_f]Isla[/name_f], but we just don’t like it

I love both names, but I agree that [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] sounds similar to [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] could be a better option. Or if you like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] but worry about mispronunciations, how about [name_f]Lily[/name_f]? I also think [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be great with big siblings [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]'s lovely, though!

With [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] all the way!

They’re both really nice names, but I agree that [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] sounds best with [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m].
