I love short, sweet, lovely names for girls. We already have [name]Grace[/name], so I’ve been trying to think of some that go with hers. The list below is what I came up with, but DH has vetoed nearly all of them. Ugh! I love these, but he just doesn’t. (I’ve * the ones he likes). Can you offer other suggestions along this vein? -Also, my name is [name]Leah[/name], so names that sound similar to that, while lovely, are off-limits (like [name]Lena[/name] and [name]Mia[/name]).
[name]Alice[/name]* - [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] is cute but I don’t love the ce sound at both ends.
[name]Audrey[/name] - [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name] are perfectly suited!! [name]Both[/name] popular but classic. [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Diana[/name] - Too old, can’t see it on a baby.
[name]Elaine[/name] - Very cute!! Like a lot!
[name]Eloise[/name] - Too quirky for popular [name]Grace[/name]!! [name]Don[/name]'t like this sibset.
[name]Elsa[/name] - Meh.
[name]Esther[/name] - Like [name]Diana[/name] and just generally hate!
[name]Flora[/name] - Meh. Like [name]Eloise[/name].
[name]Hazel[/name] - Like [name]Eloise[/name].
[name]Iris[/name] - Like [name]Eloise[/name].
[name]Jane[/name]* - Like, meh. Plain [name]Jane[/name].
[name]Judith[/name] - Like [name]Diana[/name] and [name]Esther[/name] old and grandma-y.
[name]Margo[/name] - Cute. Prefer [name]Margot[/name] spelling.
[name]Mary[/name]* - Like [name]Diana[/name] and [name]Esther[/name].
[name]Maud[/name] - Like [name]Diana[/name] and [name]Esther[/name].
[name]Moira[/name]* - Hate this name. Reminds me of vampires. Sorry. NMS. Really harsh name.
[name]Nora[/name] - Cute.
[name]Rose[/name]* - Cute.
[name]Ruby[/name] - NMS.
[name]Sybil[/name] - NMS!! Like [name]Eloise[/name].
[name]Sylvie[/name] - NMS!!
[name]Wendy[/name] - Like [name]Diana[/name] and [name]Esther[/name].
[name]Willa[/name] - Cute.
My favourites for you and bbg on the way are: [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Elaine[/name], [name]Margot[/name], [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Rose[/name].
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] [name]Patricia[/name] is stunning. Or ‘[name]Gracie[/name] [name]Pat[/name]’ (like in your tag line) and ‘[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Elle[/name]’
Something like with the same nn flow as your daughter’s name would be cute!
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Jolene[/name]- [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Jo[/name]
[name]Annette[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]- [name]Annie[/name] [name]Bea[/name]
[name]Love[/name] all of your names! Short, sweet, and lovely…
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
I love [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] as a sibset!
Good luck!
I love so many of those with [name]Grace[/name]! Especially [name]Alice[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Sylvie[/name], [name]Sybil[/name], and [name]Willa[/name]!
Hmm, what about:
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Flora[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Eve[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Ada[/name]/[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Julia[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Sophie[/name] (I like that [name]Sylvie[/name] would have had the same short-and-sweet vibe as [name]Grace[/name] has, while being less predictable, but I love [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Sophie[/name] together, too. Maybe a bit too mainstream for your tastes now?)
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Seren[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Tess[/name]/[name]Teresa[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name] (love this pair!)
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Winifred[/name] (nn [name]Winnie[/name]? I think [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Winnie[/name] is perfect!)
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] (actually love this! Some aren’t fond of alliteration… I don’t love it or hate it in general, but I do love [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Greta[/name]! I think it’s very sweet)
[name]Grace[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Patricia[/name] is a great combo! I just love it! [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Gracie[/name] have become a bit trendy, but with another vintage gem like [name]Patricia[/name] as the middle name! It’s darling!
Anyway, from your list I like [name]Sylvie[/name] the best. [name]Rose[/name] or a [name]Rose[/name] name would be lovely. [name]Honora[/name] - nn [name]Nora[/name] would be a cool sibset.
It would be cute to have something unexpected in the middle like [name]Grace[/name] has [name]Patricia[/name] instead of something trendy like a lot of [name]Grace[/name]'s probably do these days.
