Really need some help/advice/input on baby girl #3 coming any day now.
For some reason we just can’t find something that feels right.
Sisters are Amy and Tessa.
These are some options for baby sister:
Aubrie (hubby loves just Brie, I feel it’s not enough but hubby not a huge fan of Aubrie)
Kinsley (hubby loves Kinsley, but I feel it doesn’t flow with the sisters, maybe the strong “K” sound at the beginning?)
Penny (hubby likes)
Ari or maybe Aria (my preference would be Ari, hubby feels more is needed)
Vivi (ok just by itself?)
Milena (loving for the nn possibilities)
These are just some of they names we’ve been looking at as potentials. Again, I feel like with Amy and Tessa a name with at least 2 syllables sounds best. Also, nothing with Anna/Anne or Ella/Elle (for example Briana or Brielle) in it. We have a lot of family with those names and I want something different. Also trying to avoid too trendy names, if possible.
Any help or new options are welcome
I love the style of your girls names! Very friendly, familiar, hometown girl. I’ll do my best to follow your criteria:
~ [name_f]Jenna[/name_f]
~ [name_f]Kenzie[/name_f] (similar to [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f], but fits better with the set imo)
~ [name_f]Hallie[/name_f]
~ [name_f]Riley[/name_f]
~ [name_f]Emily[/name_f] “emmie”
~ [name_f]Lila[/name_f]
~ [name_f]Cara[/name_f] / [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
~ [name_m]Demi[/name_m]
~ [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] (similar to [name_f]Penny[/name_f]? I like this one!)
Some with one syllable that I think fit:
~ [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
~ [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] (I think these two with hearts really fit!)
~ [name_f]Jill[/name_f]
From your list I like [name_f]Penny[/name_f], but honestly my favorite is just [name_f]Brie[/name_f]!
I think [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] could work if you both like it. I think [name_f]Brie[/name_f] or [name_f]Bree[/name_f] would work fine on their own with sisters [name_f]Amy[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], but I you really think it feels incomplete have you considered [name_f]Bria[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Aubrie[/name_f]? [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] is cute but very much feels nicknamey to me, I would almost prefer [name_f]Viv[/name_f] if you don’t like any long form of [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]. [name_f]Milena[/name_f] is very pretty and unexpected with her sisters. I think [name_f]Penny[/name_f] would be so cute with a sister named [name_f]Amy[/name_f]! I don’t really like just [name_m]Ari[/name_m] with sister [name_f]Amy[/name_f] and I think [name_f]Aria[/name_f] fits much better with [name_f]Tessa[/name_f].
I love Penny with Amy and Tessa!! They all feel so sweet and cozy together Milena could also work really well and I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. I love that she’s a bit more unexpected, but still feels right at home with Amy and Tessa! But if you want to stick to the two-syllable theme, you could break it down to just Millie or just Lena as well.
I think Ari works on its own, but it’s a tiny bit matchy with Amy. And Vivi is a little too cutesy for me, so those two aren’t my favourite. Aubrie is fine, but Aubrey is a much more popular spelling, so I’m afraid Aubrie would get misspelt all the time.
I love [name_f]Penny[/name_f] with your girls. [name_f]Aubrie[/name_f] and [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] feel like a different style to me, but not necessarily a dealbreaker. I do think [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] needs a full name, but [name_m]Ari[/name_m] works just fine (though close to Amy). [name_f]Milena[/name_f] is unexpected, but still fits well.
I love [name_f]Penny[/name_f], [name_m]Ari[/name_m], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] & [name_f]Milena[/name_f]!
Alternatives for [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] could be [name_f]Linley[/name_f], [name_f]Tulsi[/name_f], [name_f]Ainsley[/name_f], Tensi, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], Estee/Ester, or [name_f]Isley[/name_f]
Of your list, I like Penny best! I like the name Kinsley and it would be my second choice but it feels less “storybook” as the other names. Maybe Brea instead of Aubrie? I like it too if each can have own starting letter.
Re the rest, Vivi is more a nickname and too harsh sounding to me; Ari, I think is better for a boy, and is too close to Amy anyway, and Milena is OK just has different feel and heritage.
How about (and I’m aiming for vibes of a sister in a 19th century novel):
Helen nn Nell or Leni
Louisa nn Lulu
Mary nn Maisie or Polly
Margot nn Maggie, Meg or Peggie
Eliza (too Elle?)
Josie (if not Josephine/ Josette)
Delphine
Frances nn Francy or Franny
Willa
Bronte
Chloe
Daphne
Sybil
Loretta
Primrose (wild card but gives you nn Prim/Rosie/Posie/Mosie)
Edit: I also think Cambrie, Camille or Camilla could be good options
[name_f]Amy[/name_f] & [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] are both “new classics”. I think some of the ones on your list sound a little more modern and trendy than those two. I think [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] could work, though I prefer [name_f]Vivien[/name_f].
Stylistically I think [name_f]Penny[/name_f] and [name_f]Aubrie[/name_f] fits the timeless elegance [name_f]Amy[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] share !
I think [name_f]Aubrie[/name_f] bridges [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_f]Amy[/name_f] perfectly
I think spelled [name_f]Aubrey[/name_f] or even [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] would actually do this a little better visually but regardless they sound great together.
[name_f]Amy[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] are both great names and they are perfect for sisters.
For sister #3, I like [name_f]Penny[/name_f] from your list - it gives me the same feeling as [name_f]Amy[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], and it’s a sweet, friendly name.
Drawing on your list and on the older girls’ names, here are my suggestions:
I’ll do my best to follow your criteria:
Milena could also work really well and I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. I love that she’s a bit more unexpected, but still feels right at home with Amy and Tessa! But if you want to stick to the two-syllable theme, you could break it down to just Millie or just Lena as well.
