Fun! Two things came to mind for me- the ph/f sound and that there are only a few letters, initials between their names (GHI).
So, I like-
[name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_f]Ginger[/name_f], [name_u]Greer[/name_u]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], and [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], and [name_f]India[/name_f], [name_u]Ivy[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f]
Also [name_u]Finley[/name_u] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] are being used consistenly currently (if you’re in US) so another name in that range on SSA chart seems fitting. [name_f]Margo[/name_f], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_f]Nadia[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] come to mind.
I also think since you chose names you loved both times, and they are pretty, you could simply do that again. Fun challenge!
I do like 2 syllable names like
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
That have been around for awhile for sound new/fresh!
So we love [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and feel like it “fits” as a good balance… and also [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]! But we are big nickname people and just have a tendency to shorten to one syllable. So we don’t love that [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] could shorten to “Lies” and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] shorten to “Scar.”
Still looking for that perfect name of modern/old fashioned… or traditional with a fresh feel!
I’d consider these a mix between traditional and modern since they were popular a while ago but are also starting to make a comeback as of recently (even though they aren’t very popular where I’m at so you’d have to check their popularity in your country/area if that matters to you)
[name_u]Florence[/name_u]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] / [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is a fav of mine but super popular in the US!! It seems like a lot of these classic names (Hazel, [name_f]Elenor[/name_f], etc) are popular now which isn’t a big deal but we have tried to pick name not super common. Thank you for your suggestions!
What are [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]? Not one syllable, but if you’re proactive about using it I think it could stick.
I like the idea of using one element each from [name_u]Finley[/name_u] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. Either a short (like Finley) feminine (like Josephine) name like [name_f]Layla[/name_f] or [name_f]Nola[/name_f]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] a longer unisex name like [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] or [name_u]Emery[/name_u]. I also like the idea of playing with the sounds that [name_u]Finley[/name_u] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] share, the f-, n- and the ee- sounds, like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f].
For more middle road ideas
[name_f]Adelyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] | [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]
[name_u]Delta[/name_u]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_u]Harlow[/name_u]
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_u]Larkin[/name_u]
[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Salome[/name_f]
[name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Trista[/name_f]
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_u]Dancer[/name_u]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Serafina[/name_f]
[name_f]Star[/name_f]
I feel like a good bridge between your daughters’ names is something feminine but streamlined with good nickname potential. I’ll suggest (sorry for any repeats):
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]- [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Marion[/name_u]- [name_f]Mare[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]- [name_u]Isa[/name_u], [name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]- [name_u]Coco[/name_u], [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]- [name_f]Bee[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]- [name_f]Gigi[/name_f]
Best of luck!
What about Scout as a nickname for Scarlett?
Finley, Josie and Scout sounds great!!
And for Eliza, you could go with Elle, Liza, Lizzie.
Finley, Josie and Elle.
Finley, Josie and Liza.
Finley, Josie and Lizzie.
But based upon nicknames, and your criteria, and just choosing between these two names, Scarlett nn Scout gets my vote! (Even though I adore Eliza)
