Baby sister will be here in just under a month! We are fine tuning her name and still tossing around some diff options and variations. My first born is Leni Bloom. She is 1yrs old and full of light.
Our last name is Rib@ck (pronounced Ry-back).
Our short list currently is:
~ Francine James (Franny/Francie James)
This is my husbands fav of our picks. I put some feelers out on the name Francine and understand itās still a bit dated and hasnāt quite had its revival yet. Itās a Mad Men name from the 50ās. With that said, we actually love mid-century and it has a big presence in our home and design style. Moreover, I think we like that Francine feels uncommon and puts a more unexpected twist on Frances. It feels sweet and fem to us without being too girly.
~ June Ines OR June Frances
My fav! Iām feeling June Ines right now. Another name that I feel you rarely hear, especially considering all the vintage names coming back to life. I like that itās short and one syllable (vs Leni which is two). It gives the same sunny, happy vibes as Leni Bloom.
Ines feels so rare to me and I like that it has Spanish heritage, as my family is Spanish.
~ Frances Lee
Frances was an original fav! Itās short and strong and assertive and stylish. We love the name. I do see it popping up a lot from friends of friends, although no one in my immediate circle. My husband prefers Francine to Frances. I am undecided.
Vote on your fav (or favS) between:
~ Francine James R
~ June Ines R
~ June Frances R
~ Frances Lee R
I think [name_f]Leni[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] would be a wonderful match! Between [name_f]Francine[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f], I prefer [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_f]Leni[/name_f] would be cute!
I would go ahead and eliminate [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] as it doesnāt sound like itās you or your husbandās favorite.
[name_f]My[/name_f] vote goes to [name_f]Francine[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I think youād be ahead of the curve with the mid-century style, and I like the pairing of a feminine name and a unisex sounding name to mirror [name_f]Leni[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]. Plus, [name_f]Leni[/name_f] and Franny/Francie are too cute, together! [name_u]June[/name_u] is nice as well, but doesnāt feel quite as distinctive with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Junie[/name_f], etc. all rising in popularity. [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] is a great combo, though!
Iām voting for [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f]. [name_f]Gorgeous[/name_f] combo, & I agree about the bright, sunny sound that matches [name_f]Leni[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]!
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] is perfect with [name_f]Leni[/name_f]! I like [name_f]Francine[/name_f] and would like to see it make a comeback but donāt feel it fits as well with her sisterās name
Honestly I love [name_f]Francine[/name_f]! It hasnāt quite hit its peak revival yet, but I think that adds a new level of charm.
[name_u]June[/name_u] is a nice name, but feels a lot more popular-sounding with other names like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. I love [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] as a way to honor your Spanish heritage.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] isnāt my favorite, it feels a little clunky (more so than Francine)
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites then would be [name_f]Francine[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f]!
[name_f]Francine[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u] ~ [name_f]Francine[/name_f] is lovely! I do really like the clunky cool feel of [name_f]Francine[/name_f]. I actually really like the whole mid-century mad men vibe just like you I really admire the overall aesthetic and have a massive soft spot for names like [name_f]Francine[/name_f], [name_f]Judy[/name_f], [name_u]Joan[/name_u] and [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]. However I do think [name_f]Francine[/name_f] isnāt the best fit with [name_f]Leni[/name_f].
[name_u]June[/name_u] Ines/Frances ~ I love [name_u]June[/name_u] sheās absolutely gorgeous spunky, bright, nostalgic and summery. I think [name_u]June[/name_u] is perfection. I also feel that [name_u]June[/name_u] has a mid-century feel that would appeal to your overall vibe. [name_u]June[/name_u] would definitely fit in with a mad men inspired home my goodness that would be golden. In relation to middle names I love [name_f]Ines[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Ines[/name_f] is beautiful. I love the connection to your routes through choosing a Spanish name and I think [name_f]Ines[/name_f] has a similar light feel to [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]. Very pretty name. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is a lovely middle name for [name_u]June[/name_u] but just doesnāt shine as bright as [name_f]Ines[/name_f].
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] ~ [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is a lovely sheās wholesome, spunky, upbeat and has this bright elegance to her. I think [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is a lovely middle name for [name_f]Frances[/name_f]. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] has a melodic southern [name_f]Belle[/name_f] vibe.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] sheās gorgeous but whatever name you go for will work wonders.
I really like [name_f]Francine[/name_f] best, for all the reasons you and your husband liked it. And I think its prettier than [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]! [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] has too many of the letter N close together I feel, whereas [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] spreads it out a bit.
tbh, [name_f]Ines[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] would be my pick!
I like [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Ines[/name_f]! Itās beautiful and goes well with [name_f]Leni[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f], which is adorable btw
[name_u]Love[/name_u], love, love [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Leni[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] would be so cute together. When I think of the name [name_u]June[/name_u], I think of sunshine and how can you go wrong with that.
[name_f]Leni[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] really are so sweet! Both feel so bright and happy and thatās always what I want from the names I pick

[name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_f]Leni[/name_f] would be cute!
