help me pick a girl name

Girl Names
1

So we are not trying for another one until next year, but we have our boy name set for our next child and we don’t have a girl name. This bugs me, so I would like some help/opinions.

*First daughter’s name is [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Jean[/name]. [name]Scarlett[/name] is a name I fell in love with years ago and it was always going to be my daughter’s name, [name]Jean[/name] is a family name, and they meshed so well together. Her name was never anything else, it was effortless.

*Boy name we have picked out is [name]Ian[/name] [name]Charles[/name]. [name]Ian[/name] is my husband’s pick, and one of the few boy names I like. [name]Charles[/name] is after my grandpa.

*We call our Daughter “[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Jean[/name]” more then we call her “[name]Scarlett[/name]”. Didn’t plan it that way, but it just happened. So I kinda lean towards girl names I can easily call them by their first and middle, but I’m not stubborn about it. I’m not southern, I live in Kansas.

*Our last name starts with an S. So I can’t have a first name start with and A and the middle start with an S. That would spell… yeah can’t do that.

I originally was going to use the name [name]Susan[/name] “[name]Suzy[/name]” for our girl, but our last name starts with SAN, so that seems too much.

*[name]Amy[/name] is a name we both like and agree on, but I’m not %100 in love with it.

*I don’t like trendy names, I love feminine names,

*Some family names… [name]Corine[/name] (grandma MN), [name]Jewel[/name] (grandma name), [name]Elaine[/name] (mothers MN, first name [name]Susan[/name]) , [name]Christine[/name] ([name]MIL[/name]'s MN, her first name is [name]Cleta[/name]), [name]Ann[/name] (my middle name), [name]Lou[/name] (aunt’s MN)

Names that I have considered…

[name]Amy[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Amy[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]

Can’t use [name]Amy[/name] [name]Susan[/name] ([name]Amy[/name] [name]Sue[/name]) due to initials.

So if anyone has any suggestions for me that would be great. I will look at and consider each one.

Oh and my name is [name]Holly[/name], My husbands name is [name]Mike[/name]… so [name]Molly[/name] is out too.

Have you considered [name]Amelia[/name]? I think [name]Amelia[/name] is absolutely perfect with [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Jean[/name], as it has that sweet Southern vibe to it without being overwhelmingly so, and it could lead to the [name]Amy[/name] nickname. To me, [name]Amy[/name] alone feels rather 1980s, but that could be because my cousin [name]Amy[/name] was born in the 1980s. However, [name]Amelia[/name] is timeless and classic.

For middle names, do you want to use a family name? I know you’d put [name]Amy[/name] [name]Jane[/name] down on your list, but is [name]Jane[/name] a family name? [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is cute, as is [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Susan[/name]. To honor [name]Jewel[/name] you could use a jewel name, like [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] or [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - those are also nice because they can honor someone with a particular birthstone ([name]Pearl[/name] for [name]June[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] for [name]July[/name])…

[name]Lemon[/name] :slight_smile:

I know a little girl named [name]Lila[/name] [name]Jewel[/name] and I think that would be a great match with [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Jean[/name]. [name]Lila[/name] and [name]Scarlett[/name] both have a sassy southern vibe and [name]Lila[/name] [name]Jewel[/name] works as a double name, as well. You also do [name]Susanna/name, nn [name]Suzy[/name] if that works better with your ln. Honestly, I find [name]Amy[/name] to be a bit nondescript next to the vibrant [name]Scarlett[/name]. Others that I think work with [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Jean[/name]…(I paired them all with family names because I think, since one child has a meaningful family name, they all should)

[name]Ava[/name] [name]Jewel[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Corine[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Corine[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Corine[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Jewel[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Jewel[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Corine[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Susan[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Jewel[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Corine[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Corine[/name]
