I’ve posted a couple times before, floating a few names that we’re considering. However, the more I think about them the more unsure I am! So, I thought maybe if I could get a fresh take and maybe hear some new ideas it might help- either by cementing my love for the other names or opening up a new possibility!
My two girls are named [name]Elle[/name] [name]Sofia[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Paige[/name]. I realize that some people may have issues with the flow or similar sound of [name]Elle[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] and, trust me, if it hadn’t been so hard for my husband and I to agree on a name while naming [name]Alice[/name] it probably would have caused me to rethink it. However, it was a name we both loved and ultimately that was what was most important.
So, if baby number 3 is a girl, what would you name her? Thanks in advance!
[name]Isla[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] both come immediately to mind. [name]Charlotte[/name] for being French like [name]Elle[/name] and [name]Paige[/name], [name]Isla[/name] for sharing some of the sound overlap - another vowel name - and being pretty. [name]Claire[/name] comes to mind, too, has an l sound, short and simple and pretty like [name]Elle[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]. All 3 names have an l, which is nice to tie them together. I don’t think you have to, but I think it’s nice.
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] (also pretty close to [name]Alice[/name] though?)
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] (related to [name]Isla[/name]?)
[name]Lily[/name] (too popular?)
[name]Lucy[/name] (more like [name]Alice[/name] than [name]Elle[/name], but works)
[name]Olive[/name] (nice to get another vowel?)
[name]Olivia[/name] (too popular?)
[name]Viola[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
I like the [name]Isla[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], and [name]Claire[/name] suggestions. A few more are [name]Maud[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], and [name]Jane[/name].
As pp has mentioned, I quite like the idea of continuing with a vowel sound if your third baby is another girl. So, if I were to finish your sibset, I’d go with:
Thanks everyone! I must be on the right track because so many of your suggestions are right off of my list! New ones I think I may adding to consideration are [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], and [name]Leta[/name]. I love [name]Cora[/name] also but it’s the name of a close friend’s daughter. Here’s my unedited, full list, complete with names my husband has since vetoed, lol.
[name]Lily[/name] (one of two top contenders, I just worry about the popularity- there are a few other popular names on our list but none as much [name]Lily[/name] especially when you add all the variants that get you to [name]Lily[/name])
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]June[/name] (our other top contender)
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Olive[/name] (I love that follows [name]El[/name]-, [name]Al[/name]-, [name]Ol[/name]- kinda silly but…)
[name]Greta[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Lena[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Etta[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] (too close to [name]Alice[/name])
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Kate[/name]
I personally really like [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Elle[/name] together! I wouldn’t have thought of it myself
I agree with the pp’s suggestion that you keep the vowel theme. Also, [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Elle[/name] both have a strong “l” sound (especially [name]Elle[/name], hehe) so I would choose another name with an “l” to tie them all together. (I actually think keeping the “l” theme is more important than choosing another vowel name).
With that criteria in mind I would narrow your list down to…
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Olive[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] (although I agree, the increasing popularity of pretty [name]Lily[/name] is a drawback)
