[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

[name_m]Just[/name_m] looking for a long, elegant girls’ name to go with sisters [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Evelina[/name_f]. I’m not pregnant yet, but wanted to go ahead and start the name search!

I’m looking for …

• at least 3 syllables
• long history of use
• works with honor middle name “[name_f]Else[/name_f]”
• outside the US top 300

Bonus points if it starts with I,O, or U!

So far, thanks to all your help, we have :
[name_f]Adira[/name_f]
[name_f]Araceli[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f]

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list! I like how unusual some of your choices are, but all so pretty.

A few additions:

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Amoret[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] / [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] – I think [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] works better with [name_f]Else[/name_f]
[name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f] – you have [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] and [name_f]Ione[/name_f], so why not?
[name_u]Julianne[/name_u] / [name_f]Julienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Odelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Oriana[/name_f] / [name_f]Orianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Saphira[/name_f]

[kiskadee]

I adore [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f], I’m not sure it goes well with your girls names though. [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Endellion[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], and [name_f]Verity[/name_f] are also great options. Some other ideas:
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_f]Philomena[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]

Thank you, everyone!

Cactusgram- thanks, those are all elegant and lovely but my husband vetoed them

Musicwaves-nice list! thank you! I like [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] a lot! And [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is really similar to my maiden name, which is cool! Maybe another idea for a middle instead of [name_f]Else[/name_f].

Aerovis- thanks, I think we have a similar style! [name_u]Love[/name_u] all those, especially [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] and Cendrillion! Not sure if I can get my husband on board, though…I love Welsh names but he does not. I believe [name_f]Dulcinea[/name_f] is “Dul-seen-ee-uh”.

Merilung- thank you! I like [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f]. Definitely different!

Thank you all, more personal replies to come!

Thank you again, everyone, for all the beautiful suggestions?

naomiaurora- [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] has been claimed by my sister in law and my husband doesn’t want to use [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], since it’s my mom’s name and we already have an honor name from her side, but I like [name_f]Violetta[/name_f] and [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]. Thank you!

sodallas3- I love [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], [name_f]Evangelina[/name_f], and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (though the last one wouldn’t work with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]). Lots to think about–thanks for the long list!

ceryle- Thank you! [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and [name_f]Amoret[/name_f] are adorable and great suggestion of [name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f]. [name_f]Saphira[/name_f] is really cool too!

kiskadee- Thank you! Yes, you’re right [name_f]Ayelet[/name_f] is a little different from my daughters’ names. [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] and [name_f]Melisande[/name_f] are my favorites from your list–lots of great names I’d not considered yet!

esita-I love [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], but my husband thought it was “too much.” I’d never heard of [name_f]Araluen[/name_f] before, so thank you! It’s very pretty! [name_f]Viridis[/name_f] is really cool too! I’m having fun looking all these up!

[ARead]

A few more responses…

genevieve apple- Thank you for the long list! I especially love [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], [name_f]Cicely[/name_f], [name_f]Acacia[/name_f], [name_f]Odilia[/name_f], [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]. Great suggestions!

luneth- ooh, never heard of Vespertine before! Thanks for some great ideas!

shanade213- Wow, thank you! So many pretty options here. I love [name_f]Arietta[/name_f], [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Sistine[/name_f], and [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] especially!

tanaquil- oh cool, a lot of these are so rare that even Nameberry doesn’t have them! I like Aymeline a lot! Erelieva and Illyria are amazing, too! I’m definitely gonna look these up! Thank you!
