I have a “z” last name and I really like a first name that begins in E. Is this little girl going to be taunted for her initials or does it matter?
I’d try to avoid unless the only name you love begins with an E.
[name]Even[/name] then, I’d hate to give up a name for it, but I do think theres a good chance the initial issue would come up at some point. 
I think kids pick on kids for pretty much everything. Although, to be fair, my last name begins with a D and I’ve ruled out any names beginning with a V.
Depending on the name, are there alternative spellings or similar names with the same feel?
Well, I have two daughters- [name]Julia[/name] [name]Mae[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]. I want something that “flows” with these two. We are thinking of the middle name [name]Elizabeth[/name] since the first two also have middle names in honor of grandmothers. Here is my list and several begin with E. Any thoughts?
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
You have a lot of beautiful choices!
I love [name]Julia[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Violet[/name], followed closely by [name]Julia[/name], [name]Claire[/name], & [name]Phoebe[/name] (but she’d have PEZ as initials, but I think thats kind of fun actually)
I really had to think about what you meant - so I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I like [name]Violet[/name] the most from your list.
ditto, it wasn’t the first thing I thought of. Though my favorites from your list don’t start with ‘E’ my favorites are [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Alexandra[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name].
Me three on realizing it immediately…
Especially with the addition of a middle name/initial, you’ll be fine.
I like [name]Violet[/name] the best with your other girls names.
