Hey. Last month I posted about finding a name for my second daughter. We had decided on [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. I love this name and if we lived in a bubble I would use it.
This morning I was reading our paper and there was a picture of 8 little girls ages 3-5. Their names were (I am not kidding): [name]Emma[/name] B, [name]Grace[/name] W, [name]Emma[/name]-[name]Grace[/name] L, [name]Lexy[/name] L, [name]Madison[/name] R, [name]Emma[/name] S, [name]Emma[/name] [name]Rose[/name] J and [name]Gracelynn[/name] J.
As much as I like the name [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Claire[/name], I know that people will call her [name]Emma[/name] or [name]Emmy[/name] and I really don’t want my daughter to be just another one of those [name]Emma[/name]'s in the picture. Or [name]Emma[/name] [name]Claire[/name].
We are looking for another name. It would be nice if she were to have the same initials E.C. but its not a requirement. We have bought a few things for her room with those initials on it, but are willing to eat the cost if it means finding the perfect name.
Her sister’s name is [name]Annelise[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. Thanks
E names that I like
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]

I like
[name]Elise[/name] [name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Camille[/name]
[name]Eliana[/name] [name]Chloe[/name]
I would hesitate to have another [name]Emma[/name] as well, but it’s your decision. I can suggest some alternatives to you, though ^^
My first thought was [name]Elodie[/name]. [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Claire[/name] sounds wonderful, and [name]Elodie[/name] has kind of the same feel as [name]Annaliese[/name] in my head… You’d get the nickname [name]Ellie[/name] though, so maybe not?
Other E names to consider:
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elsa[/name]
[name]Elspeth[/name]
[name]Emiliana[/name] (you’d still get the [name]Em[/name] part, but more nn possibilities like [name]Lia[/name], [name]Milly[/name] and [name]Ana[/name], this was my second thought after [name]Elodie[/name], but it mught be too similar to [name]Annaliese[/name]…)
[name]Emmanuelle[/name]
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Elora[/name]
[name]Elea[/name]
[name]Elvira[/name]
For the C I really like
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] (I get a bit of the [name]Emmeline[/name] in that)
For the E’s:
[name]Evelyn[/name] - will this be really popular too?
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - popular, but classic, but too popular?
[name]Esther[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] - too popular?
[name]Evelyn[/name] - very pretty - too popular?
[name]Ethelene[/name] - this sounds like a chemical
[name]Evalena[/name] - very pretty
Edelweiss - I like the thought of this, but is it too out there?
[name]Elspeth[/name] - I kind of like.
[name]Annelise[/name] and
[name]Corinna[/name] - I think I like [name]Corinne[/name] better
[name]Cornelia[/name]
[name]Coralie[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Christina[/name] - maybe
[name]Celestine[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] - like
My first thought was [name]Elodie[/name]. [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Claire[/name] sounds wonderful, and [name]Elodie[/name] has kind of the same feel as [name]Annaliese[/name] in my head… You’d get the nickname [name]Ellie[/name] though, so maybe not?
Other E names to consider:
[name]Edith[/name] - not warming up to.
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Elise[/name] - too close to [name]Annelise[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] - I think I would go with [name]Elizabeth[/name] and call her [name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] - I like, too close to [name]Annelise[/name]?
[name]Elsa[/name]
[name]Elspeth[/name]
[name]Emiliana[/name] (you’d still get the [name]Em[/name] part, but more nn possibilities like [name]Lia[/name], [name]Milly[/name] and [name]Ana[/name], this was my second thought after [name]Elodie[/name], but it mught be too similar to [name]Annaliese[/name]…)- I think I would prefer to stay away from [name]Em[/name] names all together
[name]Emmanuelle[/name] - ditto
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name] - like
[name]Elora[/name] - pretty
[name]Elea[/name]
[name]Elvira[/name]
Same style as [name]Annaliese[/name] ([name]IMO[/name]):
[name]Melisande[/name]
[name]Camellia[/name]
[name]Bryony[/name] - like
[name]Florence[/name] - like
[name]Hermione[/name] - like but would be too [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]/[name]Veronica[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! but are [name]Annelise[/name] and [name]Adelaide[/name] too close?
[name]Lenore[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name] - already have a [name]Kate[/name], and prefer [name]Kate[/name] to [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Primrose[/name] - like, maybe another [name]Rose[/name] name?
[name]Rosamund[/name]
[name]Selene[/name]
[name]Sonya[/name]
[name]Susanna[/name]
[name]Starla[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Eleanora[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (to avoid the nn [name]Ellie[/name] you could call her [name]Nell[/name] or [name]Nora[/name]
The middle name [name]Claire[/name] is gorgeous, so I’d love for you to keep that for your little girl.
I love the name [name]Esme[/name], that keeps the E.C initials, and keeps away the dreaded [name]Emmy[/name] nickname.
Or how about [name]Eleanor[/name]? (I know its already been suggested, just agreeing with it.)
Or [name]Eva[/name]?
[name]Annelise[/name] and [name]Adelaide[/name] are not too close in my opinion, but it kind of depends on what you call [name]Annelise[/name] for short and what you would call [name]Adelaide[/name] for short… [name]Anne[/name] and [name]Ada[/name] would perhaps not be to similar but a bit boring?
I always thought the most awesome nickname for [name]Adelaide[/name] was Lady ^^ She could always use [name]Adele[/name] or [name]Ada[/name] when Lady gets embarrassing…
[name]Elora[/name] sounds great with [name]Annelise[/name]! I agree that [name]Eloise[/name]/[name]Elise[/name] is too close. [name]Elizabeth[/name] sounds a bit boring next to [name]Annelise[/name], but [name]Evelyn[/name] is a dream! I vote [name]Elora[/name] or [name]Elodie[/name] as the best E substitutes…
So; [name]Bryony[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Hermione[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Primrose[/name], as well as [name]Kate[/name] (I prefer [name]Kate[/name] to [name]Katherine[/name] myself actually!)… ponders
Roseline - What do you think of this name? [name]Annelise[/name] and Roseline? Is it normally pronounced, [name]Rose[/name]-ah-leen or [name]Rose[/name]-ah-[name]Line[/name]?
I thought you’d like at least some of them ^^
[name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] are getting seriously popular so I would thing hard before choosing one of them, especially [name]Madeleine[/name] due to [name]Madison[/name]'s popularity and the amount of [name]Maddie[/name]'s running around…
[name]Clarabelle[/name] and [name]Annelise[/name] sound fabulous together!!
I love the other names with [name]Annelise[/name] as well, but I want to divide them into two styles:
[name]Violet[/name], [name]Frances[/name], [name]Octavia[/name], [name]Cosette[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name] are the short non-compound names
[name]Josephine[/name], [name]Clarabelle[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Madeleine[/name] are the long compound names in the same way as [name]Annelise[/name]…
I think a non-compound name would give you more options for possible future children… I know I would be VERY tempted to find another compound name if I had [name]Annelise[/name] and Roseline from before!
And about Roseline, I really like her, but not the matching -lee- sounds in [name]Annelise[/name] and Roseline together… You get my drift maybe? ^^
Perhaps [name]Roselyn[/name] would be an alternative?
Other names ending in -ine/-ina
[name]Seraphine[/name]/a
[name]Florentine[/name]/a
[name]Valentine[/name]/a
[name]Severine[/name]/a
[name]Romina[/name]
Iverine
[name]Ernestine[/name]
[name]Amandine[/name]
[name]Undine[/name]
More non-compound names you may like:
[name]Amabel[/name]
[name]Amadea[/name]
[name]Armande[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Cosima[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name]
Elowen - Starts with an E! Elowen [name]Claire[/name] would be lovely!
[name]Fallon[/name]
[name]Farah[/name]
[name]Honoria[/name]/[name]Honora[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name] (since you like [name]Primrose[/name] ^^)
[name]Maud[/name]
[name]Pandora[/name]
[name]Tallulah[/name] (or the more serious looking [name]Talula[/name])
[name]Viola[/name]
[name]Winona[/name]
Again, let me know which you like, and let me know when I stop making sense or my advice only makes things worse… I’ll look around for some more E names to suggest to you ^^

Her sister’s name is [name]Annelise[/name] [name]Kate[/name].
I like one of the poster’s idea of [name]Evelyn[/name]. But it is liable to get really popular, too.
[name]Eloise[/name] is a very pretty name, but sounds a lot like [name]Annelise[/name].
What about some not so common, pretty girls’ names?
[name]Bernadette[/name]
[name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Cosima[/name]
[name]Delphina[/name] nn [name]Della[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Heloise[/name]
[name]Imogene[/name]
[name]Jacinta[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Karina[/name]
[name]Leonora[/name] nn [name]Nora[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Marina[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] - I think this sounds great with [name]Annelise[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Natalia[/name] nn [name]Talia[/name]
[name]Ottilie[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name] nn [name]Pippa[/name]
[name]Rosamond[/name]
[name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
Tell us some first names you love from one of the posters’ lists, and we will think of some middle names. [name]Claire[/name] is one of my favorite middle names. I also love it as a first name.
I really am looking for something thats fitting in/standing out. OR something very timeless and classic that will not go out of style.
Dotsmom- if you are reading this, I really liked the names you came up with for naming your twins. I saw that [name]Annelise[/name] was one of your favorites, if you had been naming your twin, [name]Annelise[/name] and ___ what would it have been?
From this list I like [name]Iris[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name]. I like [name]Odessa[/name] and [name]Guinevere[/name], but can’t see me using them.
If popularity weren’t an issue, I would choose a name like
[name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Julianne[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name]/[name]Madeline[/name]
I still like all of those names and go well with [name]Annelise[/name] [name]IMO[/name].
So my other list is:
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Bryony[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Lisbeth[/name]
[name]Arielle[/name]
