Little sister for Vivienne...

Girl Names
1

I am due for my second child (a girl) in [name]June[/name] and I am having a terrible time thinking of a name for her.

Our first child is [name]Vivienne[/name] and I chose it because it was traditional yet it felt fresh and feminine. I would like to keep with that same goal this time…I am looking for any suggestions you may have.

I would like to avoid “E” names

Thanks a million!

[name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Odette[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Lorraine[/name]
[name]Gisele[/name]
[name]Evette[/name]
[name]Colette[/name]

non-French but complementary:
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Oleta[/name]
[name]Imelda[/name]
[name]Florence[/name] (popular tho)
[name]Eleanora[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Florine[/name]

What do you think of these?
