Genevieve is my fave from your list

Marian or [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]!

Phoebe is my favorite with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]! I also love [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], and [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]!

You have some lovely choices here! I would rank them like this:

Meredith > love this with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] > always loved this name!
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] > love it a lot, but dislike “[name_f]Gen[/name_f]” nn.
[name_f]Serena[/name_f] > beautiful name
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ([name_f]Eliza[/name_f]) > would prefer just [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] > like it, better options above
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] > really dislike this spelling prefer [name_f]Elaina[/name_f]
[name_u]Marian[/name_u] > not a huge fan, it’s just okay

Vanessa
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
These are my top four picks^

While it’s not necessarily my favourite on your list, I think [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] goes the best with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] also goes nicely.

Ohh these options are sooo pretty!

If I had to rate them I would pick
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] I LOVE [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. So elegant and a timeless pair
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] -my only hesitation is [name_f]Elena[/name_f] shares every letter with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. Not a big deal though it’s such a pretty name
[name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]- I think of gossip girls Characters [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] and [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] who dated.

Welcome to Nameberry! I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (I prefer just [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but both are lovely) would be perfect with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. Runner up would be [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] or [name_f]Serena[/name_f]!

Phoebe is brilliant!

Out of all of them I think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] sounds the best with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. Plus nicknames [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] and [name_f]Viv[/name_f] are so cute!

Elizabeth (nickname [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]) pairs very nicely with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. Both classic favorites with strong Biblical roots. [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] would be my second pick.

Elizabeth and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] sound good together.

Elizabeth sounds best with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and makes such a lovely sibset. That would be my choice for you. [name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would be [name_f]Elena[/name_f].

Elena

I love [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is a beautiful name. Here are my thoughts for a little sister-

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]-This is a lovely classic. And I really like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. I think that [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is better than just [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. It just seems more classic that way, but I don’t know. [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] also stands just fine on its own. Kind of hard to choose!

[name_f]Elena[/name_f]-I like this. It’s pretty & a little exotic. It’s fairly popular if that bothers you. It goes well enough w/Elena, but not as well as [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]/Eliza.

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]-I don’t love this, but it’s not bad. It’s slightly less popular than the others. It has lots of fun nn options like [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] & [name_f]Vivie[/name_f].

[name_u]Marian[/name_u]-Ooh, fun! This is the most interesting from your list. Very pretty & kind. It’s simple yet unexpected.

[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]-Not sure why I don’t like this one, but it’s okay.

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]-Aw, this is sweet. Such adorable spunk & sweetness.

[name_f]Serena[/name_f]-This is fine. It has a pretty sound, but it just seems so modern next to [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], you know?

[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]-I’ve never been a huge fan of this for some reason. Seems sort of 80s. It’s not a bad name though.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite may be [name_u]Marian[/name_u] very closely followed by [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. But I like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] too! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps a. bit. :slight_smile:

Hmmm, this is hard! I think I have to go with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], though, because I love the almost “colonial” feel of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. I almost chose [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], though.

I love [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ([name_f]Eliza[/name_f]) with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m].

Echoing previous posters to say I love the idea of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] with [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. They’re both beautiful, long classics with a bit of spunk. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] are also a lovely pair.
