[name]Hi[/name]
This is my first post! I’m expecting a little girl in 6 weeks and already have a son called [name]Gabriel[/name]. I like classic names but nothing pretentious. I’m looking for inspiration! Middle name will be a family name from my side of the family…
Thanks in anticipation xx
[name]Welcome[/name] to Nameberry, and congratulations! What are some names that you like, to give us an idea of your style? Here are some ideas:
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Josie[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name]
[name]Rebecca[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Rosalyn[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] thanks for the welcome! We love [name]Hannah[/name] but don’t think we can use it for family reasons 
I quite like [name]Elizabeth[/name] but not sure if I love it. Really like [name]Victoria[/name] but I hate [name]Vicky[/name] so wouldn’t use it!
It’s so difficult. I really want a name I love not just like! Help 
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Marcy[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
I’d recommend going with something very feminine. I’ve heard Gabriel used on a girl as well, so something without doubt girly would be a good choice.
I also love the name Victoria but hate Vicky. I’ve heard of Rory as a nickname for Victoria and I think that is adorable. Others that might work:
Lydia
Amelia
Margaret (nn Daisy)
Charlotte
Clara
Annabelle
Eleanor
Cecily
Abigail
I should say I’m in the uk. [name]Gabriel[/name] raised a few eyebrows. It’s not popular here at all. We call him [name]Gabe[/name].
If you like [name]Victoria[/name], you may like:
[name]Vienna[/name]
[name]Viviana[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Veronica[/name]
If you like [name]Elizabeth[/name], you may like:
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
Elsabet

[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Jenna[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name]
[name]Hattie[/name]
[name]Hallie[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]
I’m also in the UK…I’m also looking for a classic, but unusual nane. [name]How[/name] about any of the following:
[name]Johanna[/name]
[name]Hermione[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Heloise[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Hebe[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]
[name]Hester[/name]
[name]Merryn[/name]
Hm, I’m getting a very feminine, fairly classic, possibly biblical vibe from your style. You may like:
[name]Ariana[/name] - My brother in law is named [name]Gabriel[/name] and if my DH would have been a girl, he would have been [name]Ariana[/name]. I also feel like it has a similar feel as [name]Victoria[/name]?
[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]/[name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Liliana[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name]/[name]Noemi[/name]
[name]Rosaline[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name]/[name]Sylvie[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
Thanks everyone! I really like [name]Naomi[/name] but hubby is not sure. [name]Ariana[/name] is a good friends baby name and I would never steal it from her. Very pretty though.
Going to play around with [name]Annabelle[/name] and [name]Heloise[/name] for a few days and see how they feel.
If anyone has any further suggestions please throw them out there!
Quite fond of [name]Georgiana[/name] pronounced Jorjayna, the old English way. She would probably spend her life correctly everyone wouldn’t she?
[name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Georgina[/name] would be quite a pair, but I think they work well together (although maybe a lot of correcting on pronunciation). What about using a variant of [name]Elizabeth[/name]-- [name]Eliza[/name] or [name]Bettina[/name]? I think both of these go great with [name]Gabriel[/name]. Although not absolute, I think another 3-syllable name works best.
Some other suggestions:

[name]Hi[/name] just wanted to let you know our little lady arrived a fortnight ago safe and well.
As soon as hubby saw her he said she’s an [name]Elizabeth[/name] which is what we named her. It suits her perfectly!
Thanks for all your help and suggestions xx
