Girl Names

DH and I have been in disagreement about names for our special little lady coming, but we were able to compromise to these combos:

[name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

These combos aren’t set in stone and we are still open to suggestions and comments. Thanks in advance. : )

I’m really loving [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]! I really love [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], but I wasn’t mad for the combos. I want to love [name_f]Emily[/name_f], but I vastly prefer [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], personally.

If I had to pick three favorites (I was going to say one favorite, but I just couldn’t pick!), it would be [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], or [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]. I really love [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] for a FN, but I don’t like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] quite so much, and I don’t love [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] quite so much, but I really, really love [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as a combo!

Good luck!

You have some beautiful combos. My faves are bolded.

[name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - I don’t like [name_f]Gianna[/name_f]. [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - [name_f]Emily[/name_f] has been overused for awhile now but these two names pair up very well.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - too much nature
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] - The flow is fine but [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] looks better to me.
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - too many l’s
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] looks more elegant but this is a lovely combo!
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] - the flow is fine but the names don’t excite me
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - This is gorgeous!
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - the names are ok but together there is a little too much “ay” sound
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - A lovely combo
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - I like the mn much better than the cutesy first name
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - I like the mix of vintage and spunk

What a nice long list of names! You’re doing really well!

[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] really stands out to me. It sounds kind of Old-Hollywood in a classy and feminine kind of way!

Ashthedreamer; Thank you! [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is a beautiful name, but I am afraid about possible pronunciation problems.

[name_u]Mischa[/name_u]; Thank you! I too like the spelling [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], but DH won’t go for it. : ( Thanks though. : )

Saracita; Thanks! : )

Beautiful names. I especially love [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (as a middle name), and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

[name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - Not a huge fan on [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], but I adore [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f].
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - Sweet, but something is a bit off for me about how they sound together. Also, [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is a bit overdone in my neck of the woods, so seems a bit common.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - Kind of sounds like a fairy’s name. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a lot of flora with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] both being plants.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] - Very nice. I actually read it initially as [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], which I also like.
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - Okay… not my favorite on your list. Kind of pales in comparison to others.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - Not a huge fan of [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Eva[/name_f]. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is great, though.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] - I love love love [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], but [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] does not sound right with it. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is great though. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]…
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - I really like this one. It just sounds so nice to me. And I am not even an [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] fan, but it works so well with [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - Okay. Not sure how I feel about [name_f]Kate[/name_f], not as a name, but with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]. There is something… off about it.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] this one.
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - I don’t mind this… but [name_f]Callie[/name_f] is so nick-namey. It sounds very sweet and babyish. Maybe something more substantial for the fn. [name_f]Calla[/name_f]? [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]? You could still call her [name_f]Callie[/name_f].
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - Not terrible, just doesn’t wow me.

Favorites:

  1. [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

If you had [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] on your list, I would have them at #1 in favorites.

[name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is simply amazing. I pronounce [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_m]GEE[/name_m]-ahn-ah, and I think it’s more appealing than [name_m]JAHN[/name_m]-ah.

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is devine! [name_f]Love[/name_f] love love it!

11

My favorites (in order):
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]

[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is a little too overly [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] for my liking, although both are lovely names.

12

Ooh, combos, yay :slight_smile:

Loving these…

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - Absolute favourite. Gorgeous!
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

Almost there…

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], but I’d pair with something else. [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]?
[name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], but I’d pair with something else.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is great and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is great, but it’s way overused as a middle.

Disregard completely…

[name_f]Callie[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - [name_m]Both[/name_m] names seem very trendy-sounding.
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - No offense, but this is kind of boring. Beautiful names, but very popular.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] - This combo just doesn’t have any pop and seems like an odd pairing somehow.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Maddy[/name_f]) is very popular. And [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is overused as a middle.

I hope you don’t mind my brutal honesty! You’ve got some great combinations. [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is particularly gorgeous. Please name your daughter this! :slight_smile:

I adore [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. I happen to slightly prefer the spelling ‘[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]’, but aside from that, those combos are absolutely perfect. I also quite like [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], followed by [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] has been one of my favorites for awhile, and while I’m not quite as keen on [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], it does flow well with [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]. You have lots of strong contenders! Good luck.

14

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is my favourite - its gorgeous! [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is really sweet too.

Lovemysweeties; Thank you! : )

Vicioustrollop; I love [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. I’ll bring them up to DH. Thank you so much! : )

Dramagrl; Thank you. I am planning on pronouncing [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_m]GEE[/name_m]-ahn-ah because I believe [name_m]JAHN[/name_m]-ah is the Italian pronunciation, and I am not one bit Italian and neither is DH.

[name_f]Apollonia[/name_f]; Of the combos, [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Callie[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] are my favorites. Thanks! : )

Surprisemumma; Thank you. : )

Thunderbolt; Thank you. The [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] connection is actually one reason I put together [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. : )

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]; Thank you! I actually am swooning over [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

Katekadleck; Thank you!

Isabel_r7; Thanks. : )
