I really like [name]Julianne[/name] with [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Madelyn[/name], and [name]Genevieve[/name]!
[name]Lorelei[/name] - I’ve never known how to pronounce this. Seems a bit fussy to me, prefer [name]Laura[/name] or [name]Lauren[/name], and I don’t like the nickname [name]Rory[/name] that I see touted for it - it’s all boy to me.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - Beautiful, a classic, got my vote.
[name]Rosalind[/name] - I think [name]Rosalind[/name] and [name]Madelyn[/name] are a bit close. I went to school with a [name]Rosalind[/name] and people frequently dropped the final D so it sounded more like [name]Rosalyn[/name] - with one -lyn ending daughter I think it’s a bit much.
[name]Lucinda[/name] - I prefer short and simple [name]Lucy[/name], but it’s not a bad name. Would be my second pick.
[name]Marianne[/name] - I prefer [name]Marian[/name] or [name]Mary[/name].
[name]Julianne[/name] - I find [name]Juli[/name]- names dated, sorry. Feels to me like a feminisation of [name]Julian[/name].
I don’t like them either
I honestly am not a big fan of any of the names on your list, however I think [name]Rosalind[/name] is probably the nicest.
@bluesparrow, these are not my names, if you read the post, these are just the names in the category of we both kinda sorta agree they are ok. [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Lucinda[/name] are on my list, [name]Marianne[/name] and [name]Lorelei[/name] are on his list, and [name]Julianne[/name] and [name]Rosalind[/name] we both think are ok. I do agree about [name]Rosalind[/name] and [name]Madelyn[/name], though. I’m sad that people don’t like them – none of them are my favorites either, except for [name]Elizabeth[/name] which I truly do love. Hopefully we will have a boy for #4!
If [name]Marianne[/name] was [name]Marian[/name], it would have my vote, but I chose [name]Elizabeth[/name] because it is a timeless classic.
Overall my favourite is [name]Elizabeth[/name], but I voted for [name]Marianne[/name] because to me it’s criminally underused and darling with your children’s names, especially [name]Genevieve[/name]. [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Rosalind[/name] are both gorgeous, too, but maybe feel slightly frillier than the rest of the sibset. [name]Lorelei[/name] is lovely but seems stylistically out of place somehow, and [name]Julianne[/name] is a little dated to me.
I voted for [name]Lorelei[/name] to go with your other kids’ names. I like all of them, though.
I voted for [name]Julianne[/name]. It’s so pretty.
I also like [name]Lorelei[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Rosalind[/name] and [name]Lucinda[/name]. I guess the only one that i’m not liking is [name]Marianne[/name] but I really like [name]Marian[/name].
[name]Rosalind[/name] is my favorite on the list.
I love [name]Elizabeth[/name], but it might be a little too “regular” next to [name]Genevieve[/name], I’m not sure.
I also think [name]Lorelei[/name] is gorgeous, it would be my second choice.
I like [name]Elizabeth[/name] with the other names. I love [name]Rosalind[/name] but not with [name]Madelyn[/name]. Have you thought of [name]Rosalie[/name]?
I like [name]Rosalie[/name] as an option – thanks! I do love [name]Elizabeth[/name], and I’m glad to see some people like [name]Lorelei[/name] too. My hubby really loves that name. Thanks for the feedback!
I really loved [name]Lorelei[/name], [name]Rosalind[/name] (I still am crushing on [name]Rosalie[/name] and [name]Rosamund[/name] as well), and [name]Lucinda[/name]. I voted [name]Lucinda[/name] since it was also a name I loved that my husband vetoed. [name]How[/name] do you nix [name]Lucinda[/name] but okay [name]Lucia[/name]? So I feel your pain lady. It all works out in the end however, so chin up.
I voted for [name]Rosalind[/name], but I actually meant to vote for both [name]Rosalind[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name]. They’re beautiful names and I like that they’re undoubtedly feminine. I also really like [name]Marianne[/name], and [name]Julianne[/name] is nice too. [name]Lucinda[/name] seems a bit cold and [name]Lorelei[/name] doesn’t seem very feminine.
My thoughts and vote exactly. The only one I didn’t like was [name]Marianne[/name], but that’s only because you have a [name]Madelyn[/name] already. (And I heartily disagree about the [name]Juli[/name]- names.)
Thanks! I know you’re right.
I voted for [name]Rosalind[/name], but thought of another option: how about [name]Rosemary[/name]?
I like [name]Rosemary[/name]! Not sure if I have asked my hubby on that one – I’ll put it on the list!
[name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Rosalind[/name] are all lovely.
[name]Julianne[/name] and [name]Marianne[/name] are okay.
I only like [name]Lorelei[/name] spelled Loreley.
I voted for [name]Elizabeth[/name].
