Hello all!! A little background, my husband and I adopted a 2 year old boy, [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], last year. We recently received news that his bio mom is pregnant with a girl and is offering us the opportunity to adopt before she surrenders the baby. We immediately accepted & will be meeting our girl in [name_f]October[/name_f].
The thing is, we have one of the most boring last names in the history of the world and decided long ago on a middle name, as it’s been the middle name of every girl born on my side for 4 generations!! We chose not to change our son’s name so we are really feeling the pressure here.
We’d like something uncommon but not so unique that it’s weird and then there’s the challenge of it matching her brother’s name in some capacity.
So, any first name suggestions for our little girl, [Name] Marie Brown??
I think with [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], you’d either have to go long or biblical. I think long is easier, so something fairly unique, not weird, and long:
Good luck with your adoption!

A longer name may pair very nicely with [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], but remember, sibsets arent everything! And relatively shortlived (18 yr olds don’t introduce themselves and immediately offer their brother’s name, for example).
Here are some ideas:
A. Greek/Classical/[name_f]Antiquity[/name_f] names are starting to come back, and many are longer and beautiful.
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
B. Three and Four Syllable Names:
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Mallory[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
C. Names starting with E (Ezeikiel and… E___):
[name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_f]Enya[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] and…
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
I really like [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] from previous poster’s suggestion. But also if you want the sibset to ‘match’ I don’t think you need to have a long name. I think a 2, 3, or 4 syllable name would be equally fitting and pretty. But I think a distinctive first name choice would be a good way to go with your last name.
I like [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] and
Names you might like:
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
Sorry for repeats

Firstly congrats on your baby girl & good luck with the whole adoption I hope it all goes well
I think with [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] his sister needs to have an equally bold name so here are some suggestions (sorry for any repeats)
[name_f]Amira[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]!
[name_u]Ellison[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]
Some of my favorite options for [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]'s sister:

I’m sure these are repeats but just consider them as another vote for the name:
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] means God strengthens so…
[name_m]Everette[/name_m] - fearless bravery
Sorry for any repeats : )
