We are looking for a name for our baby girl due in a few months. We already have a [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. We like classic, timeless names but are still open for ideas. Looking for something easy to spell, not too long, not too trendy, something that doesn’t need a nickname, won’t get made fun of. We need and appreciate your help. Thanks.
You have some great choices! With [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], I love [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]!
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] seem too matchy to be siblings. I like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], as they have the same sweet, slightly nickname-y vibe. I also like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], but don’t like the matching ending.
[name_f]Jillian[/name_f] is really cute and goes well with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I am glad to see it as one of your options, since I feel like it is under appreciated.
I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] better than [name_f]Claire[/name_f], so I would suggest [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] could be her nickname if you like that…
I would also suggest [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] either as a middle name or first name. [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f] is super cute as a nickname.
My finalists for you:
[name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] or [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is also gorgeous
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] ( faeries )
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] aka [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f]…[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] are very cute!
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]- I much prefer [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as a middle name.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]- [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]?
[name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- I prefer the [name_f]Gillian[/name_f] spelling. But it’s terribly cute with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- Very spunky!
[name_f]Gracie[/name_f]- Too similar to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- [name_f]Love[/name_f] the alliteration.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] are my favorites!
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
Thanks for the responses so far! We’ll strike [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] off the list since it didn’t get much reaction.
Is [name_f]Stella[/name_f] a fairly timeless name? [name_m]Will[/name_m] it work well for a baby/teenager/young adult?
My favorite with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] defiantly feels timeless to me. I also love [name_f]Claire[/name_f] with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I second the suggestion of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and want to add
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Annelise[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
Another name that seems to be your style is [name_f]Elise[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]?
Oh [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is perfect with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]! I can see [name_f]Stella[/name_f] on any age btw. Also second the suggestion of [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] are my favorites. [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is also nice, but I don’t see [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] as sisters. I would pick [name_f]Stella[/name_f] first for [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]'s sister, and I prefer [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] because [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] feels more expected.
Everyone is very helpful and thanks you so much! I’m actually the husband here and my wife put me in charge of coming up with a good short list that she can pick from. That’s the opposite of what we did for [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I’ve never been so stressed in my life. lol
She is the one that likes [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (I don’t know how the name [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] will age) and I’ve been leaning towards [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and maybe [name_f]Laura[/name_f] (is [name_f]Laura[/name_f] out of style?). I would think about [name_f]Clara[/name_f] but she doesn’t want to use it. She also likes [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] but I think I will take it off the list. I also like [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] but my wife doesn’t like it. Maybe [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] sounds to nicknamey anyhow.
Current list is… (might add some other suggestions to the list but have to let them sink in first)
I love [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] & [name_f]Stella[/name_f] together! What a darling pair for sisters. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is an all time favorite for me & one we are considering too! I also think [name_f]Claire[/name_f]/[name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be a great choice too. I’d probably go for [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].
I just saw that there was a movie in 1990 with [name_f]Bette[/name_f] Midler playing a character named [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. …and here I thought I was being original.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] goes absolutely perfect with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]! I would also suggest [name_f]Grace[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Gracie[/name_f]. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (nicknamed [name_f]Gracie[/name_f]) sound lovely together as well.
I don’t think [name_f]Laura[/name_f] is out of style, it’s a classic, just not at all modern or trendy like some of the others on your list.
If you don’t mind having two L’s then [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] are fine together.
I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] ages well. It’s not a stuffy sort of name, but neither is [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I can easily imagine an adult or even grandmother named [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f].
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] is a classic but I’m not a fan of it with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] are marvelous. Have you considered [name_f]Cora[/name_f]? It hasn’t been around as long as some of the other classics but it stems from Korë or [name_f]Corinna[/name_f] and has been in the top 1000 for over 125 years.
