[name]Hi[/name] Everyone,
My name is [name]Jessica[/name]! I have 2 girls ([name]Ellie[/name] [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Clare[/name] [name]Emily[/name] [name]Ann[/name]). I’m pregnant w my third, and for some reason I was POSITIVE in the back of my mind that it was a boy and had a name all set… but I just found out its girl #3, and I have NO idea what I want to use. My friend had joined one of these boards and said it was helpful for when she was naming her baby so I figured I’d try it!

So the question is, what would sound nice w [name]Ellie[/name] & [name]Clare[/name]? Some ideas I had were [name]Annie[/name], [name]Kate[/name], and [name]Leah[/name]… but I’m not sure! I’d appreciate any advice you guys can give! Thanks a lot, [name]Jess[/name]

I think [name]Annie[/name] goes very well with your other daughter’s names. I also love [name]Maggie[/name] (though I prefer it as a nn for [name]Margaret[/name]). [name]Do[/name] you have any middles you’d like to use? Here are a few more ideas:

[name]Annie[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Lila[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Lillian[/name] [name]Grace[/name]

I think [name]Alice[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Annie[/name], [name]Tess[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] go particularly well with the style of [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Clare[/name] :slight_smile: [name]Tess[/name] is probably my favorite. [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Clare[/name] and [name]Tess[/name]”very nice!

My name is [name]Jessica[/name]! I have 2 girls ([name]Ellie[/name] [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Clare[/name] [name]Emily[/name] [name]Ann[/name]). I’m pregnant w my third, and for some reason I was POSITIVE in the back of my mind that it was a boy and had a name all set… but I just found out its girl #3, and I have NO idea what I want to use.

Can’t use [name]Annie[/name] because [name]Clare[/name] already has [name]Ann[/name] for one of her middle names.

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Meredith[/name] [name]Kate[/name] - love it!
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Catriona[/name] [name]Honor[/name] nn [name]Cammie[/name] or [name]Mattie[/name]. [name]Catriona[/name] is pronounced like [name]Katrina[/name]. Sounds like a great heroine.
[name]Camilla[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Kate[/name] - stunning!
[name]Lea[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name] - so pretty, sounds like your other daughters’ names.
[name]Maisie[/name] [name]Avalon[/name] [name]Kate[/name] - very Celtic, love it!
[name]Tansy[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] - I just adore this! [name]Tansy[/name] is a nn for [name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Tamsin[/name] [name]Lilias[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name] [name]Harriet[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Thandie[/name] [name]Lucretia[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Mauve[/name] - a winner!
[name]Cecily[/name] [name]Patience[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - like a little poem.

[name]Susan[/name], you’re right! Haha I didn’t even realize - my daughters’ 2nd middle names are family names ([name]Ann[/name] and [name]Jane[/name]). And I always think of [name]Ann[/name] and [name]Annie[/name] as different names for some reason. But you’re right that’d be a little werid. Too bad, I love the sound of it. I love your suggestion of [name]Lea[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. That’s georgous. [name]Katherine[/name] is a family name so that would actually work w my pattern of having the 2nd mn be a fam name. I’d probably do [name]Leah[/name], but either way is gorgeous. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Meredith[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is also great, as is [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Avalon[/name] [name]Kate[/name], though I prefer [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name] or [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Aveline[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. [name]Mattie[/name] is SO cute, but I don’t like [name]Camilla[/name], [name]Camille[/name], or [name]Matilda[/name] :-(. Thx!

[name]Olive[/name], you made some great suggestions! I never thought of [name]Mae[/name], that’s beautiful. [name]Eliza[/name] is BEAUITFUL but it’d be werid to have an [name]Ellie[/name] and an [name]Eliza[/name]. My favorites of yours were…
[name]Annie[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - haven’t totally dropped the idea of [name]Annie[/name] haha
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - don’t love Vivan though… I’d put something else in there.
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Kate[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t love [name]Annabel[/name]… maybe [name]Tess[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Kate[/name]? [name]Tess[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name]?
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Lila[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this!
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - beautiful!

– Family names that I’d love to use as a second middle name (but not a requirement :slight_smile: ) are … [name]Kate[/name], [name]Noelle[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Wynne[/name]! Thanks everyone! This is so helpful!

So I went overboard. Each girl has 3 names, but all 6 seem simple and classic, so while I did use [name]Wynne[/name] a lot because I really like it, and I threw in some more creative names like [name]Poppy[/name] for the first middle name. The first and second names are for the most part interchangable.

[name]Nell[/name] [name]Poppy[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Posey[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Abby[/name] [name]Olive[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] [name]Grace[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Faith[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Willa[/name] [name]Hope[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Bella[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] [name]Mae[/name] [name]Kate[/name]

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Hope[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Mary[/name]

[name]Gracie[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Bella[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Hope[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Grace[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Hope[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Calla[/name] [name]Hope[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]

[name]Mae[/name] is my favorite little girls name and from your family names [name]Wynne[/name] was my fav, but you cannot put [name]Mae[/name] [name]Hope[/name] [name]Wynne[/name], because it says may hope win. although its a nice statement, I’m not sure it should be someones name. I hope at least one of my names helps!

What about [name]Mae[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name]? I’m also loving the suggestion of [name]Lea[/name]/[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name], it has great rhythm. I actually think you could get away with using [name]Annie[/name]. Yes, it’s a little bit repetitive, but since your daughters have two middles it doesn’t bother me so much (especially since [name]Ann[/name] is [name]Clare[/name]'s second mn).

I like [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]!

[name]Sally[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Mae[/name]

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I [name]LOVE[/name] the names you all are suggesting! [name]Nell[/name], [name]Tess[/name], and [name]Lila[/name] are both gorgeous names that I never would have thought of on my own! I made a list of 12 names that I thought about and really like. Let me know what you think of these. (side note - I asked the girls what they liked and my little [name]Ellie[/name] said “[name]Annie[/name] [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Mae[/name]” … too cute)

[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name] nn [name]Ady[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Nell[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Annie[/name] [name]Meredith[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Sara[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Wynne[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name]

THANKS EVERYONE!! THIS IS BEYOND HELPFUL! I’ll have this name down solid by Nov :slight_smile:

[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name]: [name]Leah[/name]'s too popular for my taste, and I’m sadly not feeling it with [name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Kate[/name]. :frowning:

[name]Ada[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name] nn [name]Ady[/name]: I do like this combo, but I personally don’t like names ending in A being followed by names beginning in vowels ([name]Ada[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]), because it breaks up the flow. I totally love the [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name] part, though!

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]: I love each name on its own, but the ss sound in [name]Lucy[/name] clashes with the Sh sound in [name]Charlotte[/name] for me. I love the [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Wynn[/name] part, though, and adore [name]Lucy[/name]!

What about [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name]? I [name]LOVE[/name] that! :slight_smile:

[name]Lila[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]: Awe, I really like this one. :slight_smile:

[name]Mae[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]: I love the [name]Mae[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] part, but the [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] part is too N heavy for me (the n’s in [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name] blend. What about [name]Mae[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]?

[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]: I think this works really well…

[name]Tess[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mary[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] this one! I know [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mary[/name] is M heavy, but I think it works here.

[name]Nell[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Mary[/name]: I have a really hard time saying [name]Nell[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name], because the L sound in [name]Nell[/name] is like a tongue twister with the [name]El[/name] in [name]Elisabeth[/name]. What about [name]Nell[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] or [name]Nell[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] instead?

[name]Annie[/name] [name]Meredith[/name] [name]Kate[/name]: I adore [name]Annie[/name], but I’m just not a [name]Meredith[/name] fan. :frowning: What about [name]Anne[/name], [name]Annabelle[/name], or [name]Anna[/name] instead of [name]Annie[/name], giving her more options?

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Kate[/name]: I love it!

[name]Sara[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]: I wouldn’t use [name]Sarah[/name], as it’s one of your daughters’ middle names.

[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Wynne[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name]: I think this is fantastic! :slight_smile:

My favorites:

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name] (my favorite potential combo)
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]

Best wishes to you! :slight_smile:

I like your [name]Lucy[/name],[name]Ada[/name] & [name]Nora[/name] combos :slight_smile:

what about [name]Rosa[/name], [name]Nina[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Pippa[/name],[name]Amelia[/name] ([name]Milly[/name]),[name]Anna[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Paige[/name], [name]Hannah[/name],[name]Rachael[/name],[name]Georgia[/name], [name]Annabel[/name]?

I love:
[name]Ada[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name]”I do see [name]Jill[/name]'s point, but I just love the sing-song feel of this!
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]”three unique names that work very well together.
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mary[/name]”unbelievably cute, and I still think [name]Tess[/name] is fantastic with [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Claire[/name].
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Kate[/name]”just gorgeous!

I also like:
[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Kate[/name]”goes so well with your other daughter’s names
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]”sweetly feminine
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]”nn [name]Maggie[/name]”so cute with [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]!

Lots of good choices! If I had to pick just one it would probably be [name]Tess[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mary[/name] :slight_smile:

13

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Kate[/name] gets my vote! Sweet and Spunky and a name I can picture on an infant and all the way through the ages. Perfect!

14

While I love [name]Nell[/name] as a name, now that I think about it will [name]Ellie[/name], it seems like too much ”el”. I am not sure [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Nell[/name] can be sisters.

Another idea is if you like [name]Annie[/name] or [name]Sara[/name], which are middle names for your other daughters, if you use one, you should use the other, so one of the girls doesn”t feel left out. And the [name]Sarah[/name]”s should be spelled the same way. Then the baby is named after your other daughters, which could be sweet.
[name]Annie[/name] [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name] [name]Anne[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Anne[/name]

Of your options I like best:
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name] -but the nickname [name]Ady[/name] will be much overused with all the little Addisons running around

My favorite first names for you are [name]Lila[/name] and [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Lila[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Grace[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Wynne[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
