I haven’t posted here in awhile but you guys were all very helpful naming by baby back in [name]January[/name] and now that my DH and I have decided we’d ideally like one more child, I figured I’d turn here again. For boys, we’re lucky because the names we love fit in with all of our criteria nicely, but for girls we’re kind of stuck. (For sibling names see my signature.) Problems:
Since my three daughters are [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Violet[/name], and [name]Felicity[/name], I’d like a name that doesn’t end in the “ee” sound because it makes [name]Violet[/name] stand out too much (Maybe I’m just reading wayy too much into things haha)
If possible, I’d like to avoid using the same first initial as my other children (which means [name]Cora[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] wouldn’t work)
If possible, I’d like the name not to have 2 syllables because that would leave [name]Felicity[/name] out
There are lots of girls names that we love but just don’t work for various reasons ([name]Scarlett[/name] is too close to [name]Violet[/name], [name]Amelia[/name] starts with A and our preferred nickname [name]Millie[/name] ends in the ee sound, [name]Cora[/name] starts with C and is two syllables, [name]Eloise[/name] with nickname [name]Elsie[/name] is too close to [name]Felicity[/name] and ends with ee sound) so I’m really just desperate for new suggestions. Sorry this is so long and thanks for helping!
Instead of [name]Amelia[/name], what about [name]Emilia[/name]? And you can call her [name]Mila[/name] instead of [name]Millie[/name] if you don’t want the “ee” sound.
Other suggestions:
[name]Miranda[/name] (nn [name]Mira[/name] or [name]Randa[/name])
[name]Michaela[/name] (nn [name]Micha[/name])
[name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Elena[/name] (nn [name]Ella[/name] or [name]Lena[/name])
[name]Olivia[/name] (nn [name]Liv[/name])
[name]Elizabeth[/name] (lots of nn options)
[name]Emmeline[/name] or Emmelina (nn [name]Emma[/name])
[name]Katerina[/name] (nn [name]Kit[/name] or [name]Kate[/name])
[name]Reina[/name] (nn [name]Rain[/name])
I know you said you don’t want a name ending with the ee sound but I think [name]Melody[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], and [name]Zoe[/name] would be lovely as a sibling with your kids. Here are some others that may work
I love [name]Eloise[/name]… You could use [name]Lola[/name] or [name]Lulu[/name] as a nn too!!
[name]Honora[/name] (honey/[name]Nora[/name])
[name]Beatrice[/name] ([name]Bea[/name])
[name]Lucia[/name] (lulu)
[name]Luciana[/name] ([name]Luna[/name])
[name]Georgia[/name] (gia)
[name]Vivian[/name] (viv)
[name]Isobel[/name] (belle)
[name]Mirabel[/name] (belle/mira)
[name]Olivia[/name] (liv)
What about [name]Madelyn[/name], [name]Lorelai[/name] nn [name]Rory[/name] or Lor, [name]Karina[/name], or [name]Evalyn[/name]. Pronunciation like [name]Eve[/name]- [name]Evalyn[/name].
Other names I like to help give an idea of what I’m looking for;
