I love [name_f]Juliet/name_f, [name_f]Arietta[/name_f]/Ariette and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]! I would go [name_m]Jett[/name_m] or [name_u]Julie[/name_u] for [name_f]Juliet/name_f, [name_f]Linn[/name_f] or possibly [name_f]Nia[/name_f] for [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], and [name_u]Ari[/name_u] for Ariette/[name_f]Arietta[/name_f]. All your names are gorgeous, though! :slight_smile:

With [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosa[/name_f] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f]), I think [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] (I like Be a better than [name_f]Trixie[/name_f]) and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] (love [name_f]Lina[/name_f] as a nickname) are my top picks. For the other names, I think the full names and/or the nicknames could start to sound too similar. I like [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], but I prefer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Nell[/name_f] of [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. Other suggestions:

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] ([name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f])
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] ([name_f]Etta[/name_f])
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] ([name_f]Lila[/name_f])
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] ([name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f])
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] ([name_f]Flo[/name_f], [name_f]Flossie[/name_f], [name_u]Ren[/name_u])
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] ([name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f])
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] ([name_f]Indie[/name_f])
Joyelle ([name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f])
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] ([name_f]Margo[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f])
[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] ([name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Belle[/name_f])
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ([name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f])
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] ([name_f]Perrie[/name_f], [name_u]Reggie[/name_u])
[name_u]Remington[/name_u] ([name_u]Remi[/name_u])
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] ([name_f]Carly[/name_f], [name_f]Letta[/name_f])

I love [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] for you, but wonder if [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] goes better since all girls would have three syllables then…

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is my second favourite, but if you really don’t like the nn [name_f]Emme[/name_f] I would scrap it. She is bound to be called that by someone at some stage in her life.

[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] is wonderful! Also Ariette is unusual and stunning.

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], & [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] make the best sibset. I love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], too, but I do think [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] fits better, as I said, with the sister names.

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] - Generally I prefer [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] spelling wise but If you want to lessen the chance of getting nn [name_f]Emme[/name_f], [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] seems ideal. Though, you could go for [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and just emphasize that isn’t a nickname you like for her. At some point though, nicknames are out of our control.
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], oddly enough. Normally I like concise spellings but in this case [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] feels more [name_m]French[/name_m] and romantic, and distanced a little from being 100% tied to [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] & [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - I prefer this to [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. The X can seem a little out there but [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] itself is not really that unusual. It seems like it would fit in your sibset for the most part.
[name_f]Arietta[/name_f]/Ariette - Both are beautiful and unexpected. I like the sound of [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Arietta[/name_f] the best. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] would be such a sweet nickname! Or even [name_u]Ari[/name_u]/[name_f]Aria[/name_f].
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] - Doesn’t feel as fresh to me as other options, and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is quite popular as an individual name.
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]! I think it would be great with her sisters’ names, although the nickname potential is more limited than other options.

Overall given your elder daughters and your desire for nickname options, I think the best fit would be [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Arietta[/name_f].

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]!

My favourites are [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] (much prefer this spelling) and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] but not so much nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. I prefer [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elea[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] as short forms.

[name_f]Arietta[/name_f] is unusual and beautiful, first time I’m hearing it and I absolutely love it. Possible nickname if you choose this is [name_f]Aria[/name_f] meaning lioness.

[name_f]Juliette[/name_f], nn [name_f]Jette[/name_f]!

Thanks for the replies!

[name_f]Juliet/name_f is one of DHs choices and unlike so many of his suggestions i’m starting to actually really like this. It’s a top contenter right now for sure.

I’m crushing on [name_f]Arietta[/name_f] at the moment but that may be because it’s so new to me. I haven’t really had the time to live with it and see if it would actually work.

@violet1296 I like so many of your suggestions! [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] & [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] especially.

@violet1296 @grackym I actually prefer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] too that may be something I can get DH to compromise on.

@grackym I don’t dislike [name_f]Emme[/name_f] I just feel like [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] would really stick out in a sibset of [name_f]Emme[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]. If people outside the family wanted to call her [name_f]Emme[/name_f] that’s cool but i’d prefer another name at home.

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] or [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] gets my vote. I’m leaning toward the underappreciated [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], although [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]'s strong sound and energetic vibe is more similar to [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].

[name_f]Arietta[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] are gorgeous, and go perfectly with your other daughters names.

I almost voted for [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f]/[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] but you said you don’t want the nn of [name_f]Emme[/name_f]. I think that’s unavoidable with this name.

My next choice is [name_f]Juliette[/name_f].

I also want to point out other nn for [name_f]Arietta[/name_f]- [name_f]Etta[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_u]Ari[/name_u]

All of these would go lovely with your other girl’s names. It’s just a matter of preference. I like [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Arietta[/name_f], & [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] the most. I prefer [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] over [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] esp. with [name_m]French[/name_m] names [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is my absolute favorite. [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] & [name_f]Arietta[/name_f] are tied for second.

If you really dislike the nickname [name_f]Emme[/name_f] then I’d think twice about using [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f]. There’s always a chance she could grow up and love that nickname even with the [name_f]Emma[/name_f]- spelling. [name_f]Arietta[/name_f] is a tad unexpected with the other names because it’s so uncommon compared to your other children’s names but I immediately liked it and it gives me a similar vide. [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] is pretty but I actually dislike [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] with your sib-set more than [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].

Loving [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], and [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] “[name_u]Cass[/name_u], [name_f]Cassie[/name_f]”

1.Emmeline
2.Arietta
Juliette does make a beautiful sibset IMO too and its a beautiful name.
Beatrix is equal to Juliet/te for me, I think this name also make a gorgeous sibset. I only like the /x/ ending actually!
Emmeline and Arietta are perhaps more distinctive so they get preference.
Eleanora does not have the same ‘spunk’ or prettiness for me and while Linnea is so lovely but I just don’t think it fits nearly as well with Genevieve and Rosalie as the previous 4.
Beautiful names.

With [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], I like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] fits the best. Good luck! :slight_smile:
