Our firstborn is [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u]. It’s perfect. It’s unique but not rediculous, fits her personality to a t, rolls off the tongue and is easily shortened (TJ, Teej, [name_f]Lula[/name_f], [name_f]Lu[/name_f]). Well, we’re having another girl and now we’re worried we won’t find another girl’s name that will mesh and match with sister’s name well enough. (Of course, we had a perfect boys name that we both loved- maybe next time, lol.)
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] is adorable!
From your list I like [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] the most. It is long and flowy and has great nicknames like [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_u]Noli[/name_u] or even [name_u]Ollie[/name_u].
I also like [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
Some other ideas if you’re still looking…
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
Off your list I’d go with [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] and specifically [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. I noticed your husband removed a lot of the [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] combos - Did he not like the first names or specifically [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] is just perfect with [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I love both names and think they complement each other so well! I also love [name_f]Juno[/name_f] (I’m not a massive fan of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] though), [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], [name_f]Lux[/name_f], [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] and think any of these would also make a fantastic sister to [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]. So many good options! Some other ideas:
From your list I really like Clementine, Magnolia, and Theodora, although I prefer Theadora (so it can be shortened to Thea which is so sweet, if she likes when she is older). Maybe you would like Delilah which I see a pp has already suggested. I also like Xanthe (ZAN-thee) for you.
No suggestions but I want to give a big cheer for [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]!! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it with [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u]!
Yeah, [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is a family name so it’s very likely it’ll be part of the name. It’s not set in stone though. I prefer a family/“normie” middle option in case my kiddo doesn’t like their more “fun” first name, lol.
I have like another name that is ripe with nickname potential is in order: [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f].
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is so pretty, it’s a shame your husband vetoed it. I really like [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], and [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] are lovely names too.
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] are great. What about [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]? I also think [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] goes really well with her sister’s name.
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f] is perfect. So spunky, just like your girl’s name is. My second choice would be [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], although [name_u]June[/name_u] is vastly different in style from [name_u]James[/name_u], so my only suggestion would be to use a more unisex middle or word name to balance it out and link them. But that’s just my opinion, of course.
