Help with naming first baby

Girl Names

Hey

This baby naming business is definitely tricky stuff! I’d love to hear your impressions of my top picks. I’m drawn to fairly classic names that not overly popular. Nothing too trendy, nothing unisex.

Here’s my list so far. [name]Feel[/name] free to offer alternative suggestions!
Thanks sooo much!

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Esme[/name]

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

I love your list!

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: I love [name]Alice[/name], and I like this combo.

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: Since [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] are both two syllables, I think [name]Alice[/name] needs something longer in the middle:

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name]

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: [name]Beatrice[/name] is not my favorite name, but the combo flows well.

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lola[/name]: Since [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Lola[/name] are waaay different in style ([name]Beatrice[/name] is classic/vintage, and [name]Lola[/name] is very trendy) it doesn’t really work.

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Esme[/name]: Something about the ice-es transition is hard to say…

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lola[/name]: [name]Esme[/name] is ruined by Twilight, for me, so it’s not my favorite, and again, [name]Lola[/name] doesn’t really fit.

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: I don’t really like the rhyminess of [name]Esme[/name] and [name]Jane[/name]…

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: They’re both two syllables, which doesn’t create the best flow. What about [name]Esme[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]?

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: I love [name]Greta[/name]! I like this combo a lot.

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Alice[/name]: The two syllable thing again… also, the As run into each other. I do like it, though…

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: See above

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Lola[/name]: [name]Lola[/name] still doesn’t fit, but I like the flow

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: I love it!

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Alice[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Alice[/name], and the combo is wonderful!

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Eden[/name]: I’m not a fan of [name]Eden[/name]-- it reminds me of eating.

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: This one isn’t my favorite because of the rhyming U.

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Flora[/name]

[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: I find [name]Magdalene[/name] kind of clunky, and I don’t really like the double N ending.

[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: Nice…

[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Alice[/name]: This is my favorite [name]Magdalene[/name] combo.

My favorites on your list are [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name], and [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Alice[/name], but you really can’t go wrong on any of them!

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!!!
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: I love both names, but I love the flow of [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] more. I love [name]Iris[/name]’ suggestion of [name]Alice[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]! (I can’t remember if she also suggested [name]Alice[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], but if she didn’t, you may also like those.) :slight_smile:

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!!! ([name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is one of my all-time favorites…)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lola[/name]: I love [name]Jane[/name] with [name]Beatrice[/name] more…
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Esme[/name]: I love [name]Esme[/name], but I love [name]Jane[/name] more with [name]Beatrice[/name].

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lola[/name]: I guess I’m just not a [name]Lola[/name] fan…
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!!!
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: I love [name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name] more…

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Coraline[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name]: Awe, I think this is pretty…
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Alice[/name]: Because of the back-to-back As, it doesn’t flow to me as well as the others…
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: I love it, but I’ll vote for [name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name]…

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Simone[/name]

You may also like [name]Margo[/name]/[name]Margot[/name] or [name]Margaret[/name].

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Lola[/name]: I hear a lot of O…
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!!!

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Eden[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: I think this flows the best, but at the same time, I hear a lot of ooo in both names.

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Simone[/name]

[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]: I love this!!!

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] THIS
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - Though still adorable, I think [name]Ruby[/name] is a little too popular to go with [name]Alice[/name].

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] THIS
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lola[/name] - Sorry, but I’m not so sure on the middle name [name]Lola[/name]. It feels too modern to go with [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Esme[/name] - I like this, especially if you plan on pronouncing it ES-[name]MAY[/name] rather than ES-ME

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lola[/name] - Again, [name]Lola[/name] feels too modern to go with [name]Esme[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I like this. I love the simple flow of the names together.
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - Not so sure on this.

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I like it, but it’s not a favourite of mine.
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - I’ve always liked [name]Alice[/name] as a middle name :slight_smile:
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - Not so sure on this.

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Lola[/name] - Not so sure on this.
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - I like this. I think it’s sweet

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] THIS
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Eden[/name] - I like this. It reminds me of romance and gardens!
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - Not sor sure on this

[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - Like it, though not as much as others.
[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - Not so sure on this.
[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - I like this. It flows pretty well.

Here’s my list so far. [name]Feel[/name] free to offer alternative suggestions!
Thanks sooo much!

I love your name taste!

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I’m nuts about this name combo. Would use it myself.
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - Very cute, but not as easy to say as [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. [name]How[/name] is it with your last name?

[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - love
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lola[/name] - love
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Esme[/name] - don’t like the end of [name]Beatrice[/name] with the beginning of [name]Esme[/name]. [name]Both[/name] names are darling though.

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Lola[/name] - not as classic as some of your others.
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - cute
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - a bit hard to pronounce.

[name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - love
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - last “a” of [name]Greta[/name] crashes into first “a” of [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - “r” heavy. Okay if your last name doesn’t have an “r”. On second thought I don’t like this combo. I feel like I’m chewing when I pronounce [name]Greta[/name] [name]Ruby[/name].

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Lola[/name] - so cute
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - love so much!

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - I prefer [name]Juliet[/name] spelled like this. [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Alice[/name] is adorable!
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Eden[/name] - [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Eden[/name], hmmm…I love [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Alice[/name] more. Of course [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Alice[/name] is “l” heavy, so I wouldn’t like it paired with a last name that had an “l” in it.
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] is wonderful! [name]Long[/name] “u” heavy though. [name]How[/name] is it with your last name?

[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I love some of your other choices more.
[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Magdalene[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - I do like this one, I have to say.

[name]How[/name] about [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Esme[/name]? It just flows (for me, anyway!). Actually I also like [name]Esme[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] (I know I’m probably not helping).

Otherwise I like [name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. [[name]Beloved[/name] + God’s [name]Gracious[/name] Gift = God’s [name]Beloved[/name] Gift?]

Congrats and good luck!

My vote is [name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name]:slight_smile: hands down!!! but there isn’t a name I don’t like that you listed. You have your work cut out for you. YOu have so many great names listed. I like one syllable names when you have a first name with 3 syllables. We had [name]Greta[/name] [name]Jane[/name] as one of our choices and changed it to [name]Paige[/name]…just a thought:)

[name]Lovely[/name] names!

favs:
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]

My favorite from your list is [name]Esme[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. Sweet and simple.
