[name]Hi[/name] All,
I am due with baby #2 next month and have no name! The current list of options is pretty long. Can you guys please help me narrow it down? Maybe rank your top 3? Big brother’s name is [name]Henry[/name] [name]Wolfe[/name].

[name]Isla[/name]/[name]Ila[/name]/[name]Eila[/name] - all pronounced the same
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Ryann[/name]
[name]Elle[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Gwenyth[/name]

With [name]Henry[/name] [name]Wolfe[/name], I can imagine any of these names for his sister.

1 [name]Alice[/name]
2 [name]Josephine[/name]
3 [name]Matilda[/name]
4 [name]Violet[/name]
5 [name]Jane[/name]

I like [name]Mischa[/name]'s picks, though mine would be slightly different. Not strictly in this order, though the Top 3 are definitely the top 3:

[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]

I think [name]Isla[/name]/[name]Ila[/name]/[name]Eila[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] goes well with [name]Henry[/name].

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]

My favorite with [name]Henry[/name] is

[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Gwenyth[/name]

sadlola · July 4, 2012, 9:04am

[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] (nn [name]Josie[/name] or [name]Jody[/name])

I think [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] sound beautiful together.

And I like thuja combination of [name]Alice[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] with [name]Henry[/name] [name]Wolfe[/name].

My favorites with [name]Henry[/name] are

[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] or [name]Fiona[/name]…can’t decide which I like better

Good luck with your choice!

erinlw · July 4, 2012, 9:22am

I love [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Violet[/name]. I think that they’re all sweet but spunky names. I think they can all work with [name]Henry[/name], as well.

gblondie · July 4, 2012, 11:20am

[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Rowan[/name] - that way she has a middle nature name like her brother

system · July 4, 2012, 4:29pm

[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
In that order

niteowl13 · July 4, 2012, 4:48pm

With [name]Henry[/name] as a big brother, I can see a little [name]Alice[/name] as his baby sister.

e7izabeth · July 4, 2012, 6:03pm

Thanks everyone! We may be getting closer…
I created something like a sports bracket with my husband and got him to help narrow down the list.
Still in the running, we have:
[name]Isla[/name]/[name]Ila[/name]/[name]Eila[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
and a new one, [name]Elle[/name]

What are your thoughts?

I considered some middle name pairings and came up with:
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Elle[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Elle[/name] or [name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Elle[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]

What do you think? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Additional suggestions?

Thanks!

I really really like your name style based on this list, so I’ve decided to write a short novel about them haha I won’t be offended if you choose not to read the whole thing

[name]Isla[/name]/[name]Ila[/name]/[name]Eila[/name] - Not a fan of these, I see big pronunciation issues with all of them
[name]Rowan[/name]- I do like this name, and it goes ok with big brother [name]Henry[/name], but keep in mind that naming future daughters will be tricky, I think this is a hard name to match with sisters.
[name]Scarlett[/name]- love, but I personally can’t use. [name]Scarlett[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] are adorable together.
[name]Penelope[/name]- don’t get why this name is so popular on nb. I like the nicknames but not the sound of actual name. I think it’s the last syllable, just doesn’t sound pretty to me.
[name]Fiona[/name]- love this name, my cousin has a little [name]Fiona[/name]. [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] are lovely
[name]Flynn[/name]- all boy. please don’t.
[name]Josephine[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this too. It’s on my list. [name]Jo[/name]/[name]JoJo[/name]/[name]Joey[/name]/[name]Josie[/name] are all adorable nicknames. Goes well with [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]- [name]One[/name] of my top three names of all time.
[name]Felicity[/name]- really do not like this name, but I have no idea why. It’s nice enough I guess, but your list has so many better choices
[name]Jane[/name]- Nice, simple and sweet. [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Jane[/name] sound classic and great.
[name]Alice[/name]- eh, I think this name is over used.
[name]Ryann[/name]- maybe as a middle? I wouldn’t as a first. Doesn’t match style-wise with [name]Henry[/name] or any of your other choices.
[name]Elle[/name]- too short for me, maybe as a nickname?
[name]Quinn[/name]- Nice, Simple, easy to say and spell, goes well with [name]Henry[/name].
[name]Violet[/name]- [name]One[/name] of my all time favorites again. [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] sound perfect
[name]Gwenyth[/name]- not a fan, all I can think of is Paltrow, and that isn’t really a good thing in my opinion.

TOP 3 for you:
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]

Ones I suggest you cut (in order of how much I don’t like them):
[name]Flynn[/name]
[name]Ryann[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Gwenyth[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Elle[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]

[name]Gwyneth[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]

nicole_1024 · July 4, 2012, 6:48pm

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Wolfe[/name] is awesome.

I think any of these are game for [name]Henry[/name]'s sister:

[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]

My favorites are [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Scarlett[/name].

everwaiteing · July 4, 2012, 6:58pm

My 3 favorites for your little girl are:

Violet
Alice
Josephine

I started to list Gwenyth, which I like a lot; however, I don’t think it flows quite as well with Henry. Gwen and Henry both have prominent “EN” sounds. It’ not bad, but it’s something to be aware of in weighing the pros and cons of the name.

nat108 · July 4, 2012, 7:11pm

[name]Fiona[/name] jumped out at me, too bad it’s out of the running. [name]Henry[/name] [name]Wolfe[/name] & [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Violet[/name] sound great together

From your new list, the only one I like is [name]Isla[/name] [name]Jane[/name] but I really don’t like it that much
