[name]Matilda[/name] - keep; pairs perfectly with [name]Adelaide[/name]!
[name]Imogen[/name] - delete - prettier in theory than in reality
[name]Pollyanna[/name] - delete - sounds a bit ridiculous on a real person
[name]Polly[/name] - delete - sounds like a nickname and your other kids’ names are so formal
[name]Emmeline[/name] - delete - the world has enough Em___'s
[name]Eloise[/name] - keep - this is a wonderful name!
[name]Scarlett[/name] - delete - too harsh in sound and connotation
[name]Evelyn[/name] - keep! This is a wonderful name all around!
[name]Juliet[/name] - delete - too frilly next to [name]Adelaide[/name]

[name]Sophie[/name] - delete - too popular
[name]Victoria[/name] - keep - I think this could definitely work (but bear in mind [name]Vicki[/name] and [name]Tori[/name] are not the greatest nn’s)
[name]Stella[/name] - would you consider changing this to [name]Estella[/name]?
[name]Philippa[/name] - keep! [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Phillipa[/name] are meant to be sisters!

[name]Georgiana[/name] - keep (but this is not my favorite of your list, by far)
[name]Genevieve[/name] - delete - too much name

Thanks ljandrl and jlm.
Surprising that a lot of people here like [name]Philippa[/name]! I think it is a great name but whenever I mention it to family or friends they
wrinkle their nose in disgust! I guess we berries have better taste… :slight_smile:

Well, you already went against the grain with [name]Adelaide[/name]. [name]Adelaide[/name] is an absolutely beautiful name, but I’m sure it’s also gotten its share of wrinkled noses from those who would prefer a name like [name]Madison[/name] :slight_smile: You didn’t give in to that sort of pressure the first time around; no need to do so now . . .

Of course not. We are going to pick the name we like the most, everyone else just have to get used to the baby’s name.

Well, you already went against the grain with [name]Adelaide[/name]. [name]Adelaide[/name] is an absolutely beautiful name, but I’m sure it’s also gotten its share of wrinkled noses from those who would prefer a name like [name]Madison[/name] :slight_smile: You didn’t give in to that sort of pressure the first time around; no need to do so now . . .[/quote]

Favourites:

[name]Matilda[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Phillipa[/name] and [name]Georgiana[/name]

[name]MATILDA[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this with her siblings! KEEP
IMMOGEN - ok name, i have a bad association with it though. Maybe stay away from another “I” name as you already have [name]Isaac[/name]. DELETE
[name]POLLYANNA[/name] - i can’t see this name fitting a 40 year old woman, sorry! DELETE
[name]POLLY[/name] - cute, but same as above. Definately better then [name]Pollyanna[/name] though! DELETE
[name]EMMELINE[/name] - gorgeous! so feminine, and fits amazingly with [name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Isaac[/name]! KEEP
[name]ELOISE[/name] - absolutely love this name aswell! Super feminine and sweet, and ages well! KEEP
[name]SCARLETT[/name] - i see why people tend to like this name, but it just seems very harsh to me for some reason - i guess its the “scar” part! DELETE
[name]EVELYN[/name] - okay name…seems kind of old lady to be still. DELETE
[name]JULIET[/name] - great name due to “romeo and juliet” - i just don’t like how it would be shortened to “[name]Julie[/name]” or “[name]Jules[/name]” - those seem out dated! DELETE
[name]LYDIA[/name] - bad association with this name! although it flows nicely i just don’t see why people like it! DELETE
[name]AMELIA[/name] - too poular! DELETE
[name]SOPHIE[/name] - although popular, this name is a classic and i love it! Especially a good fit with [name]Edward[/name]! KEEP
[name]VICTORIA[/name] - seems very 90’s to me! DELETE
[name]STELLA[/name] - cute! very trendy…therfore doesn’t fit the best with [name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Isaac[/name]! DELETE
[name]PHILLIPA[/name] - love the nickname [name]Pippa[/name]…but thats it. KEEP (only because of nn)
[name]ELEANOR[/name] - i adore this name. yet again, another that fits perfectly with siblings! KEEP
[name]GEORGIA[/name] - same as above! this is my number 1 fave name! KEEP
[name]GEORGIANA[/name] - depends how you pn it. Original pronunciation is Geor-jay-na…which is the pn i love! A little frilly compared to [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Georgia[/name] is a bette fit! DELETE
[name]GENEVIEVE[/name] - yet again, pronunciation issues. Also, i feel like this name is too prissy, and the nn “[name]Gen[/name]/[name]Jen[/name]” is VERY 80’s! DELETE

So i would definately keep (in order of preference) :
[name]Georgia[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Sophie[/name] [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Phillipa[/name]
Any would be great accompaniments to [name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Isaac[/name]!

hope this helps!

[name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Isaac[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Isaac[/name] and [name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Isaac[/name] and [name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Isaac[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Edward[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Isaac[/name] and [name]Georgiana[/name]

[name]Matilda[/name] - Cute, a bit musty, but cute
[name]Imogen[/name] - I just hate the sound of this name
[name]Pollyanna[/name] - Sounds very dated and country western
[name]Polly[/name] - Reminds me of Pollypockets and sounds like the name of a cartoon character
[name]Emmeline[/name] - Sweet and vintage
[name]Eloise[/name] - Sounds very harsh to me
[name]Scarlett[/name] - [name]Love[/name], but popular
[name]Evelyn[/name] - Nice, but the E names are very big
[name]Juliet[/name] - Cute, but not my taste
[name]Lydia[/name] - Same as [name]Emmeline[/name], but I don’t like it as much
[name]Amelia[/name] - I hate the EEL sound in the middle, it sounds whiny
[name]Sophie[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name], but popular
[name]Victoria[/name] - Classic
[name]Stella[/name] - Not my taste
[name]Philippa[/name] - Sounds odd, a name kids may laugh at
[name]Eleanor[/name] - I like it, but not love it
[name]Georgia[/name] - Think this is very sweet and southern
[name]Georgiana[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like… too over the top
[name]Genevieve[/name] - Darling, but a bit prissy

So, I have a few other things to say regarding the patterns of your names. Some things I’ve noticed with the siblings are as follows… :slight_smile:

All vowels - So far, you have all vowel names. I think if this is your last child, you should try to keep it in the same vein. I also noticed that you have vowels A, E and I, so next comes O, but there are no O names on your list. I thought of [name]Olivia[/name] (extremely popular), [name]Ophelia[/name] (sounds a bit I Oh, feel ya), [name]Odessa[/name] and [name]Olive[/name]

Hard D sounds - [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Edward[/name] both have hard D sounds, but [name]Isaac[/name] doesn’t. So I think with this name you should balance it out by not having a hard D sound, but more vowels.

Okay, so those two observations eliminated some names. I would also like to eliminate all names that have the same letter (A, E or I). For now I will keep in consonants, but then go through again.

So, that leaves us with…

[name]Matilda[/name], [name]Polly[/name], [name]Pollyanna[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Sophie[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]Philippa[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Georgiana[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name]

Hehe, looking at it now there are now vowel names.

Okay, I think I’m making this really confusing. Personally, from your list I would probably pick [name]Sophie[/name]. If I got to choose just a name though, I think I would go with an O name. [name]Olivia[/name] would be perfect despit the popularity.

Good luck!
