Due this summer with our first child. We don’t know if it is a boy or a girl, but if it is a boy his name will probably be [name]Noah[/name] [name]Bertil[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]. But we have no girl-names! I am really starting to panic!
My name is [name]Natalie[/name] so I got to thinking it would be nice with a similar sounding name. What I have found so far is
[name]Loralie[/name]
[name]Coraline[/name]
could you perhaps help with your brilliant baby-naming expertise for similar sounding names? And also what do you think of [name]Lora[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] as nn? Can these names have other nn? [name]Lee[/name]? Li? [name]Rory[/name]?
[name]Coraline[/name] is a favorite of mine & I love the nn [name]Cora[/name], [name]Loralie[/name] is a lovely name as well I just have a soft spot for [name]Coraline[/name].
some other lie/lee names:
[name]Adalie[/name]
[name]Annelie[/name]
Avalie
Avonlea
[name]Caralie[/name]
[name]Coralie[/name]
[name]Denali[/name]
[name]Eulalie[/name]
[name]Laurelie[/name]
[name]Magali[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Saralee[/name] (if you can get over the food connection)
Thessalie/[name]Thessaly[/name]
Some other ‘[name]Line[/name]’ names
[name]Aveline[/name]
[name]Adaline[/name]
[name]Cymbeline[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Rosaline[/name]
Wow, thank you for all your lovely ideas! I really like them all!
I love [name]Naomi[/name], but my husband does not. I will try to convince him.
[name]Rosalie[/name] is wonderful, but is it too much Twilight right now?
[name]Evangeline[/name] is really nice, but we have really long surnames, so perhaps it would be al little too much over the top. I will think about it.
[name]Amalie[/name], or [name]Amelie[/name] are lovely too… [name]Eulalie[/name] is nice, but how would you pronounce it? Is it too complex?
I have been thinking about [name]Lorelai[/name], but it it too much [name]Vegas[/name] or [name]Gilmore[/name] girls?
I have been looking around here at nameberry and found two new name I have never thought about, [name]Henrietta[/name] and [name]Dorothea[/name]. They are really long, and perhaps a bit much, but I really like them. Not lie-names but what do you think?
[name]Loralie[/name] and Coreline are both beautiful!
Here are some more -lie and -line names!
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Analie[/name] (I’ve seen it spelled a million different ways)
[name]Aurelie[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Aline[/name]
[name]Everly[/name]
[name]Keeley[/name]
[name]Polly[/name]
[name]Waverly[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
Avonlea
[name]Eulalie[/name]
[name]Molly[/name]
[name]Charline[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]/Evangelie
[name]Celine[/name]
[name]Evaline[/name]
[name]Marceline[/name]
[name]Pauline[/name]
[name]Seline[/name]
Angelie
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Leslie[/name]
[name]Ashley[/name]
[name]Holly[/name]
[name]Jolie[/name]
Ailidh (prn AY-lee)
[name]Ottilie[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Amberly[/name]
[name]Beverly[/name]
[name]Callie[/name]
[name]Carly[/name]
[name]Riley[/name]
And the -ailey crowd: [name]Hailey[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], [name]Kayley[/name]
Another option (that might sound a little dated?) would be to do a double name with -[name]Leigh[/name]. i.e. [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Leigh[/name], [name]Mara[/name] [name]Leigh[/name], etc.
Or you could choose a name that lends itself to an -lie nickname, such as [name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Alexandra[/name] nn [name]Allie[/name], etc.
Thanks for your suggestions. There are so many nice names!
Naoimi, [name]Aurelie[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name] and Avonlea are lovely!
My husband suggested [name]Clementine[/name]. It has a bit of lie-sound in in.
I like the idea with a nn with lie-ending. We will see… there is a few more months to go before august gets here and we’ll see if it is a boy or a girl.
