I like [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name], and I voted for [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], although I also like [name]Fleur[/name]. I really like the sound of [name]Rue[/name], but I can’t get past the meaning…

I’m boring and went with [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. [name]Love[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and the combo has good flow. Oh, I didn’t see [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Winter[/name]. [name]Love[/name] that as well.

As you know I love [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] haha! I think [name]Claire[/name] fits really nicely though, but if you already have [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] in other MN spots I would not add another, the same goes for [name]Kate[/name]. [name]Grier[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] fit nicely as well just not as much as [name]Pearl[/name] [name]IMO[/name] :slight_smile:

Thanks, ladies! I think I have it narrowed to a top five!

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Rue[/name]

I think I like [name]Ruby[/name] more, but I think the shorter [name]Rue[/name] sounds better with my 8-letter surname…

I surprised myself by voting for [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], but she is absolutely lovely and would sound like a dream beside [name]Isabelle[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] [name]Grace[/name]!

Can I not vote for [name]Josephine[/name] Emila [name]Winter[/name], I love, love, love it!!!

If I can’t I think I like [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilie[/name] [name]Kate[/name] or [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] the most, if I can’t pick [name]Winter[/name]!

haha, you can vote for it, but it’s not very likely that I’ll actually use it! I love [name]Winter[/name], too, but [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Winter[/name] [name]Richards[/name] sounds so long (which is another reason why I eliminated most of the two syllable family names ([name]Lily[/name], [name]Noelle[/name], [name]Opal[/name], etc.), too), and I always thought [name]Winter[/name] [name]Richards[/name] sounded a bit off. I loved how ethereal it was, and that it would honor my sister, since I usually have troubles doing that, but I don’t know, I’m leaning toward [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Rue[/name], or [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name].

There might be a smidgen of hope for using [name]Winter[/name] as a MN in my last combo, though…

I like [name]Fleur[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Winter[/name] with [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name]. I probably like [name]Fleur[/name] best though, because I’m a sucker for French names!

I voted for [name]Fleur[/name] but think [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Pearl[/name] or [name]Rose[/name] would also be lovely. And I think [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] nn [name]Posey[/name] is so lovely!

When exactly did “[name]Winter[/name]” become a name? When [name]Nicole[/name] [name]Richie[/name] used it for her daughter? Soooo trendy. Similarly, I think [name]Kate[/name] has blown up for the same reason and I find it incredibly trite. “[name]Fleur[/name]” doesn’t work unless you have a French accent- otherwise you’ll most likely sound like you’re saying “floor”. Oh and lastly, “[name]Rue[/name]” is just plain awful- the meaning is “regret” which is what you’d probably feel if you gave your kid that name. [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] work best though I’m not crazy about the first two as they’re overused. My vote goes to [name]Claire[/name].

I voted [name]Pearl[/name]. Think it flows the nicest. But I also think [name]Fleur[/name] & [name]Claire[/name] sound great!
Good luck!
