I’m looking for help with a vintage, unused yet common first name to match the middle name [name_f]Frances[/name_f] (the last name is a single syllable and starts with a hard C)
[name_f]My[/name_f] first daughters name is [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. If that gives you an indication of my style.
Names I like (currently ignoring the issues in popularity)
I think putting [name_f]Frances[/name_f] in the middle you need a longer first name, the opposite of [name_f]Mable[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] what about:
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]France[/name_f]
Jospehine [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] (a bit rhymey but it might work)
Thanks for your reply!
I really prefer two syllable names I think.
Plus I don’t even know how to pronounce [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]! Is it like the place?
I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] but from my understanding is quite popular.
Isn’t [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] popular too?
And then we have a cousin who goes by [name_f]Bea[/name_f] so that’s out. And my sister has her heart set on the middle name [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Bah names are so hard!
When I saw [name_f]Celia[/name_f], I was going to suggest [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] too! Actually both are nice, I prefer [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f], though. (SEH-sih-lee)
I also think [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is great. ([name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] does not work–same endings, and same frumpy vibe.)
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
Emelle [name_f]Frances[/name_f] ( sounds like it is familiar with the [name_f]Em[/name_f] sound but it is vintage -ehm-[name_f]ELLE[/name_f] )
[name_f]Lenna[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] …again, unusual but has familiar sounds, also vintage rare from 1915 approx.
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Roberta[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Odelle[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] …rare vintage gem from early 1900s nickname [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]
[name_f]Ora[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] a lot - I think [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is one of those names that sounds nice in the middle of anything. Maybe -
Thanks everyone. Keep them coming. There are a few in here I haven’t already considered.
It’s hard as old names run hard in my family so many have already so you have a lot of these that I have to avoid as they’ve been a dogs name or a neices name.
Plus I really aim for names currently outside 300. Or at least, ones lacking a current upswing. If it’s steady at 200 I’d like it more than one getting more popular.
Friends of mine just named their daughter [name_f]Edna[/name_f]. I wasn’t sure how much I liked it at first but it’s grown on me and I think [name_f]Edna[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] would be pretty. Or maybe [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]?
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is my favorite, but here is some others down the alphabet.
