My fave is [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]!
If you like [name_f]Cora[/name_f], how about [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f]/[name_f]Corinna[/name_f] + mn [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]?
[name_f]Francine[/name_f] flows/sounds best with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. Although it’s not my favorite choice. I’d prefer another -ine name or france- name:
I like a lot of these options, but I think [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] matches the sleekness of [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]. I also love [name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is a good pick in the middle, I like the tie to [name_f]Elle[/name_f]n.
Thanks for the replies so far! Helps a lot! We are keeping all the name talk away from family and friends this time to have an element of surprise, but I still need so validation in our ideas
I’m not a big fan of the combinations (although if I had to pick, I’d choose [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]) so I pick [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]. If you want to give a nod to the holiday season, I like:
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (if you like alliteration)
However, [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] already feels Christmassy to me because of the -belle ending, so I think you’re good with any middle name.
But! If it was [name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], that’d win in a heartbeat.
I voted for [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. It immediately made me think of [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], which I then immediately put on my list. I hadn’t even considered [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] before, so thank you!
I like [name_f]Francine[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] just as much as [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Francine[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] feels very fresh and musical, while [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] feels gentle and, well, twinkly! I love all the "L"s, and I’m usually discerning of repetitive things like that.
Speaking of, [name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] looks very nice on paper, and I love each name separately, but I’m bothered by the prominent short ‘o’ at the beginning of both names.
I love the name [name_f]Theadora[/name_f], only it always strikes me as a grounded name (but beautiful and sweet, if that makes sense) name, which doesn’t see to match the bell-like quality of [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] goes with nearly every holiday name I can think of!
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Neve[/name_f]
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Christabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Christiane[/name_f]
[name_f]Theadora[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
