Looking for name for number 2

Hi, I recently found out I was expecting a second daughter. But I just cannot find a name that I really truly like. Her older sister is Evangeline Marie nn Evie (Eh-v-ee) and I really like that because of the long first name with a shorter nickname and short middle name but I really can’t find another name like it. Here are the names I currently have…
Charlotte Eden nn Lottie
Esmeralda Cove nn Esme
Gwendolyn Mary nn Gwen
Lilibeth Lucy nn Lili
But none of these I really can say that I like and have my heart set on! Thanks :smiling_face:

Massive congratulations :tada::tada:

Evangeline Marie is beautiful such a wonderful name. I also love the nickname Evie! No wonder you’re struggling to find a name just as perfect you really out did yourself.

My thoughts on your list

Charlotte Eden ~ Charlotte is a lovely classic name that has that easy nickname as well. However I do feel Charlotte gets massively out sparkled by Evangeline. Eden is a lovely unexpected middle name.

Esmeralda Cove ~ oh my gosh I absolutely love seeing Esmeralda being used she’s so stunning the ultimate European princess name. Cove makes a fantastic middle name. My concern is could you be pigeonholed into a theme of just using ‘e’ names when it comes to potential future kiddos.

Gwendolyn Mary ~ I love Gwendolyn she’s elegant, whimsical and makes a wonderful sister for Evangeline. I also love Mary as Gwendolyn’s middle name.

Lilibeth Lucy ~ I think Lilibeth is sweet but could be mistaken for Lilibet and feels very Harry + Meghan. I would prefer Liliana. I think Liliana works wonders with Evangeline. Not keen on the name Lucy but that’s just personal preference.

Suggestions:

Penelope Coast ‘Penny’
Francesca Grace ‘Frankie’
Delphine Willa ‘Delphi’
Colette Rhodes ‘Coco’
Theodora Lane ‘Teddy’
Leonora Ruby ‘Lenny’
Prudence Alba ‘Prue’
Dorothea Ivy ‘Dotty’
Romilly Kate ‘Romy’ or ‘Millie’
Clementine Jane ‘Minnie’
Tallulah Hope ‘Tully’
Henrietta Iris ‘Etta’
Persephone Wilde ‘Sephy’
Isadora Blythe ‘Izzy’
Ottilie Pearl ‘Tillie’
Gabriella Opal ‘Gabby’
Rosemary Seren ‘Romy’
Josephine Hart ‘Josie’
Cordelia June ‘Cordy’
Valentina Elswyth ‘Valley’
Florence Lilia ‘Flossie’
Magnolia Jewel ‘Maggie’
Seraphina Paige ‘Sephy’
Anastasia Fern ‘Annie’

Hope this helps

I think you’ve crafted some gem names there, definitely keep on list. Might be too close to them, but they’re lovely or at least elements are (eg Cove, Esme as a nn, Lucy for middle - Mary prob too close to Marie? I love Mary so if can keep in the second spot as a nice tie between the names that could be great! I agree with above re Charlotte being somewhat overshadowed and the Royal trendiness of Lilibeth). But let’s see, how about:

Evangeline Marie - Evie - and:

Cornelia - Nelly
Adelaide - Daisy
Matilda - Tilda (or Tilly but I love Tilda)
Harriet - Hattie
Aurelia - Sunny/ Goldie (from meaning)
Arabella - Bella
Lorelei - Lola/Lolly/Rory
Persephone - Percy/Perrie/Effie
Primrose/Rosamund - Rosie/Romy
Penelope - Poppy
Susannah - Sunny
Constance - Coco/Tansy
Willamina - Willa/Minnie/Mina

Hope that helps! Late where I am so couldn’t manage middles but Mary or Lucy likely to go with most.

That was my main concern with [name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f] it was the E & E thing. But my other problem is my name also begins with an E so more names beginning with E. I love [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] but now that I look at it [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] would always out shine the name [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] due to it being common as well. But I think if we where to name her [name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f] she would probably end up being nicknamed [name_u]Mai[/name_u] cause that would help with the problem with the E. Also definitely the last kiddo beginning with E hoping that this will be our last girl (hoping for a boy) and I don’t like boys names beginning with E. thank you so much though the names are gorgeous :star:

Where I live, the Marie and Mary thing isn’t a big deal. With Evangeline, Gwendolyn is my favorite! I’ll also suggest Alethea, Dorothea, and Felicity.
