Jane or Juliet? Or something else?

Girl Names

[name]Hi[/name] there,

I need some well-educated opinions on our name preferences, and how they flow with our last name. We are expecting a girl in [name]January[/name], and she will be a little sister to 2 year old [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. I am IN [name]LOVE[/name] with the name [name]Jane[/name], possibly, “[name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name],” but I am not sure if it flows well with our last name. My husband and I also like [name]Juliet[/name], but I still prefer [name]Jane[/name]. Finally, my husband likes [name]Rose[/name] (even though it’s my daughter’s MN) but we would need a variation of [name]Rose[/name] because our last name begins with “S” so it would run together. Here is our current list:

  1. [name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] Scaringe (last name rhymes with “syringe”)
  2. [name]Juliet[/name] _____ Scaringe
  3. Rose_____ ________ Scaringe
  4. Other classic suggestions

What do you think?

Thank you!

My name is [name]Jane[/name] ([name]Janie[/name] to my family) and my middle name is [name]Kathleen[/name]. I always thought [name]Jane[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name] had a terrific flow to it, even if it was ultra classic.

I think [name]Pearl[/name] is another classic that nobody really uses anymore. And my favorite [name]Rose[/name] variation is [name]Rosamund[/name]/[name]Rosamond[/name].

I love [name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] and I think it flows fine with your last name! So pretty and classic.

I love [name]Jane[/name]! [name]Juliet[/name] is pretty, but nowhere near [name]Jane[/name] for me.

[name]Rose[/name] names are pretty, but since you already have [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Rose[/name] (gorgeous btw!) I would move on.

[name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] sounds great with your ln

[name]Jane[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Berenice[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Bernice[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Diana[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Hadley[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Loretta[/name]

[name]Jane[/name] [name]Wilhelmina[/name]

It works with so many styles!

I also love [name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name].

I love [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! From your list, you have a lot of beautiful choices.
Here are some suggestions:

  1. [name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] Scaringe – very pretty and classic!
  2. [name]Juliet Rose[/name] Scaringe – I love the idea of both of your daughters having the same mn, and the name means so much to your husband.
  3. [name]Rosalie Jane[/name] Scaringe or [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Jane[/name] Scaringe.

I prefer [name]Juliet[/name] or [name]Juliette[/name] for it’s slightly softer feel with your last name. I also like that it is similar in length to [name]Caroline[/name].

It might be cute to stick with the flower-themed middle name. For examples: [name]Fleur[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Petal[/name], [name]Tulip[/name], [name]Violet[/name]

[name]How[/name] about [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] or [name]Jane[/name] [name]Violet[/name]?

I like [name]Jane[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]… I’d avoid [name]Rose[/name] since your first daughter has that name. It feels less special when your sister already has the name. I like someone else’s suggestion of [name]Pearl[/name], or maybe [name]Ruth[/name] ([name]Ruthie[/name]). I like the idea of both daughter’s having flower names:
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Lily[/name] (very “L” heavy, but hopefully you get the idea…)

Definitely [name]Juliet[/name]! [name]Jane[/name] is just really, really boring to me sorry. I don’t like it at all. I think [name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name] is very beautiful though! I like the suggestions of [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Fleur[/name], [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Violet[/name], and [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. What about [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marigold[/name]? [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Posy[/name]? [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]? [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Liliana[/name]? [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]? [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Loraine[/name]? [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Hope[/name]? or [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]? :slight_smile:

I like [name]Jane[/name]! It is nice and simple. I can’t get over [name]Romeo[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] when I see [name]Juliet[/name].

[name]Both[/name] are so pretty. I think I might like [name]Juliet[/name] just a bit more. I like lexiem’s suggestion of a flower middle name. [name]Juliet[/name] Dasiy, [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Poppy[/name], [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name]…[name]Both[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] are beautiful. Good luck! :slight_smile:
