Trying to fine THE perfect name for my daughter. I’ve searched every list, website, book, etc and It seems like all the same names, or some crazy off-the-wall made up names. I keep thinking if I look one more time I’ll find the perfect name that I’ll fall in love with. I’m afraid I’ve already used that name for my first daughter and will have to settle for something that I like but don’t love for my second daughter.
It would be helpful to know you daughters name to see what style of name you like.
The “PERFECT” name may not exist but the name that’s perfect for your daughter surely will.
My daughters name is [name]Greta[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name]. She’s 17 months and we’re expecting our second girl in [name]April[/name]. We really want to use [name]Giselle[/name] but I cannot find a middle name that I love that goes with [name]Giselle[/name]. I feel like I’ve looked on every single list, posted millions of threads, etc. and if I can’t find anything I’m going to settle on [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. [name]Grace[/name] is my middle name so at least it will have meaning but I feel like there’s a name out there that could better enhance [name]Giselle[/name]… I decided to take a week off from the ‘name game’ and now I’m back at it, still searching…
[name]Do[/name] you think you’re always going to stick to G names or would you choose a name beyond that?
Instead of [name]Giselle[/name]:
[name]Georgina[/name] (English; farmer)
[name]Graziella[/name] (Italian; grace) (Diminutive of [name]Grazia[/name], form of [name]Grace[/name]) (nn. [name]Grace[/name], [name]Gray[/name], Ziel, [name]Ella[/name]/[name]Elle[/name])
Griselys (Germanic; grey warrior) (GRAYZahLihZ) (It’s a form of [name]Griselda[/name])
Name meaning [name]Grace[/name]:
[name]Charis[/name]
[name]Graziella[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] & [name]Graziella[/name] sounds cute together, although perhaps too close together. Maybe use [name]Graziella[/name] as a middle.
We’re pretty stuck on [name]Giselle[/name] as a first name. We’ve tried for the last 6 months to think of a non G name or use [name]Giselle[/name] as the mn, but we really like [name]Giselle[/name] for the first name. It’s just a tough one to pair with a mn
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Adair[/name]

[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Bianca[/name]

[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Elyse[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] Illyria
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Liora[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Solange[/name]
I guess I’m looking for something a little more… common?? but not plain and boring…
Some recent contenders:
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Corrine[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Cassandra[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Andrea[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Annaliese[/name]
and of course [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
I had [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Elyse[/name] on the list but my husband didn’t like the double el sound. I haven’t run the new list by him yet. LOL
I think [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] is very pretty!!!
Honestly, that was my #1 for a long time but when I googled it the supermodel [name]Giselle[/name] came up as being associated with Victorias [name]Secret[/name] so I took it off my list… I know, I’m way overthinking this!!
My suggestion: [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Analiese[/name]. The ‘liese’ sound is in there, just modified a bit.
Great names.
Is that pronounced [name]Anna[/name]-leese?
I like [name]Giselle[/name], very pretty.
Some g/g combo suggestions:
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Garnet[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] Gracyn/Gracen
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Genavieve[/name]/[name]Genevieve[/name]
Other comb suggestions :
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Amaya[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Alexa[/name]
What about [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Gracia[/name]? I think it is Spanish, my sister has a spanish friend named this. They pronounce it [name]Grace[/name]-ee-uh) I think it flows a bit better with [name]Giselle[/name] than just [name]Grace[/name].
I know what you mean!! I’ve had a hard time finding the PERFECT name for my second DD too because I looove my first DD’s name and everything else was coming up short. I mean, I love so many girl names but nothing was clicking or feeling like THE [name]ONE[/name]. I really like [name]Giselle[/name], what kind of feeling does it give you? Does it make your heart skip a beat, does it make you happy, can you picture your little one named [name]Giselle[/name]? These are all questions I’ve asked myself and finally I “think” I found one that does this…all. the. time. for me. Not just a crush name. If [name]Giselle[/name] does that for you then I really do think it’s the one!! 
[name]Giselle[/name] is ‘the one’ but I’m having so much trouble finding a mn that not only flows but that I love as well. It is not an easy name to work with… I am back on [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] though. [name]Love[/name] both the names and I think it flows well and is pretty. I was concerned it was too soft though… For now, that’s my #1. Thanks for everyones help!
[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Vivian[/name]?
It’s helpful to analyze the name phonetically and metrically. [name]Giselle[/name] is a 2-syllable French name and is stressed on the second syllable: ji-ZELLE. Two stressed syllable should not be adjacent to each other as it makes the flow sound quite choppy. The majority of English names-- including, by definition, all one-syllable names like [name]Grace[/name]-- accent the first syllable. This is why they don’t ‘work.’
You could choose another 2-syllable French name, like [name]Corinne[/name] in your examples above. [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] ‘works’ (ji-ZELLE co-[name]RIN[/name]) but the repetitive nature of the meter makes it sound a little sing-songy.
I think the absolute best solution would be a three-syllable+ middle ending on -a. Many of these names stress the second syllable, and it would actually mirror your first daughters name. Examples:
