Hello! We’re expecting our second daughter in a few months and looking for a sibling name for [name_f]Eve[/name_f]- nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f].
So far, we love [name_f]Isla[/name_f] but are slightly nervous about its growing popularity. [name_f]Serena[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and [name_f]Kira[/name_f]/Keira are also high on the list.
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband has vetoed [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] (personal favorites) and we also liked [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] but sadly have close friends/family with those names.
Would love to pair the first name with a one syllable middle name that’s a little fun and whimsical. Last time around we made up our mind at the hospital and it would be great to go in with that pressure off our shoulders. Any opinions on existing names or new suggestions/combo suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
Daisy and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] are my favorites! [name_f]Isla[/name_f] just doesn’t appeal to me, and doesn’t match the elegance of [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. (Of course, [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] isn’t necessarily elegant, but it has the same sweet feel as [name_f]Eve[/name_f], whereas [name_f]Isla[/name_f] just feels trendy). [name_f]Kira[/name_f] feels a little harsh to me, and has a very conflicting style with [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. Are you pronouncing [name_f]Eve[/name_f] with a long E, like in the word evening, or a short E, like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]? If you’re using a long E, then [name_f]Serena[/name_f] definitely conflicts with it- eeeeeve and sereeeeena. Unless you’re pronouncing [name_f]Serena[/name_f] with a short E in the middle, in which case it would conflict with the short E pronunciation of [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. Regardless, [name_f]Serena[/name_f] definitely doesn’t sound as good to me as [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]? I know it’s not one syllable, but it sounds AMAZING.
One syllable middles for [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]:
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Sky[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Poem[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Brook[/name_u]/Brooke
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]
If your husband vetoed [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], what about Harlowe? Or [name_u]Marlo[/name_u]/Marlow? [name_f]Elena[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] or [name_f]Lina[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Lena[/name_f]?
I hope this helps and that this makes sense, I’m sure it sounds so scattered!
Eve is such a lovely name. Here are my thoughts on your current list:
Isla-It’s a great name that goes well w/Eve, but it is soooo popular. I’d stay away from it if you think that would bother you.
Serena-I don’t know. I can’t get into this one. It just seems too modern. That’s not necessarily a bad thing; just not my style. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is so elegant & classic, that I wouldn’t pick this to go w/it.
Juliet-Ooh, this is pretty. Elegant, feminine, slightly dramatic but not too much, well known yet not over done. I like it!
Daisy-I love it! It’s on the top of my personal list. I’d like to tell you not to use it, because I don’t want it getting too popular. But it’s such a cheerful, kind, beautiful floral name. Really cute w/Eve too.
Kira/Keira-I like [name_f]Kira[/name_f] a lot w/Eve. It’s simple, feminine but not fussy, slightly exotic & not way over done. I don’t care for [name_f]Keira[/name_f] though. That spelling is only popular because of a celebrity, & that kind of bugs me. [name_f]Kira[/name_f] or the Gaelic [name_f]Ciara[/name_f] seem more authentic. Plus, w/Kira it’s obviously two syllables. [name_f]Keira[/name_f]/Kiera/Ciara etc. it’s kind of two and half syllables, which is a bit confusing.
Here are a few more suggestions that you may like:
Thank you @Jblack11. I really like [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and [name_u]Roux[/name_u] and will definitely add them as middle name options. Appreciate your help!
Thank you @12queen! Maybe I can sneak Lena back on the list
Thank you so much @MichelleM for all of your suggestions. I love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] as well, so I’m happy that you think those might work well with [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is a big fan of [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and my only concern with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is whether it works for someone at every age- but you’re right that it’s such a cheerful, lovely name!
@dogs_books Juliet Daisy is lovely! My only concern is that our last name is also two syllables, but it’s definitely something we will consider. I had never thought of Juliet Moon, but that’s beautiful as well!
@Greyblue Kira June is a great suggestion- Thank you!
@PrincessShannon I hadn’t thought about Juliet as a middle name for some of our other choices, but it’s very pretty- thank you!
I think all the names on your list go very well with [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/Evie.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Keira[/name_f]. All have the same elegant vibe as [name_f]Eve[/name_f].
Isla [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] or [name_f]Keira[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] are gorgeous combos next to [name_f]Eve[/name_f].
Other suggestions:
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
Eve is so simple and elegant, almost an international feel? [name_f]Lena[/name_f] has a very similar vibe to me. I wonder if you would like [name_u]Simone[/name_u]?
So sad he vetoed [name_f]Lena[/name_f]. I think you should fight for it!!! What about [name_f]Alena[/name_f]? Would he be more open to that?
Love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] from your other options.
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f]
@kmdharrington Thank you so much for the suggestion! [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is beautiful, but we actually have close friends who have a [name_f]Lila[/name_f] so it probably won’t be an option. That being said my husband recently brought up [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] as an option and we both like that name so we’re going to add it to the shortlist.
@almostactually Thank you so much for the vote for [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. Your other suggestions are great at well, I think [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is beautiful and my husband is a big fan of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first and middle name option.
@expecting_motherof4 Thank you so much for the vote of confidence in [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]! surprised, but happy that that option seems to be getting a lot of support.
@Etymology Thank you so much for your suggestions! I’ve never heard of [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] before, but it’s beautiful (maybe a MN) and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_u]Dove[/name_u] are also on my list!
@strawberrysun Thank you! [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] seems to be the favorite right now and I love your suggestion of [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
@Jujubee1 Thank you for the vote of confidence in [name_f]Lena[/name_f]. I sadly don’t think he’d be more open to [name_f]Alena[/name_f], but I may try and nudge [name_f]Lena[/name_f] back on the list. [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] is also a beautiful option!
@Summs Thank you so much. It’s funny, we don’t personally know anyone names [name_f]Isla[/name_f] either, but it seems to be making it’s way up the popularity lists so it’s definitely something to consider.
@Amber_Joy Thank you so much for your suggestions! We both really like [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] - so adding that to the list as a contender.
@JeanSea Thank you. I may still push for [name_f]Lena[/name_f]- appreciate the vote of confidence!
@sarah1800 Thank you for your recommendations! I had not thought of [name_u]Jean[/name_u] or [name_u]June[/name_u] for MNs, but they are both great.
I love [name_f]Serena[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] with [name_f]Eve[/name_f]!

[name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
But it’s such a cheerful, kind, beautiful floral name. Really cute w/Eve too.
