Your daughter has a stunning name. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is one of my favorites for its solid, classic sound, plus the litany of literary ties. I think your style leans towards classic, but not too popular, and vintage. I definitely second [name_f]Alma[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], and as a note on [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]'s popularity, my only personal knowledge of an [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is a spectacular college gymnast. What about…
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: If [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is off the table due to conflict with your last name, would [name_f]Frances[/name_f] be an alternative that doesn’t conflict? It is tailored, strong and with lots of weight and meaning, and is beautiful in style. It is #438 for girls, which is less popular than [name_f]Jane[/name_f] but still in the same league. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is elegant, refined, and serious while also being wearable.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: This name is longer than many of your favorites, but reminded me of a blend between [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is a vibrant yet tasteful vintage choice, and is bold without being outlandish. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] has an element of fun, but is also mature and sophisticated.
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: To me, [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is the epitome of a sophisticated choice: Tailored, feminine, and classic. It has more gravity than just about any name, and is refreshingly unique on a youngster. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is lively and gorgeous, while [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is packed with meaning and grace.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: I love this name for you. It is short and simple, like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and is also beautiful and vintage. It sounds wonderful with both middle names, and subtly picks up their sounds for flow. [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] or [name_f]Teresa[/name_f], both classics, could work perfectly, and with either middle name.
[name_u]Marian[/name_u] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: If [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is too religious, what about the equally classic, solid, and gorgeous [name_u]Marian[/name_u]? It has literary ties, like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and is better known for those than any religious association. [name_u]Marian[/name_u] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is flowing, quirky in the best possible way, and sweet, while [name_u]Marian[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is elegant, tasteful, and a bit unexpected. [name_f]EDIT[/name_f]: I just saw that this was already in your signature! I really do love it for you, and apologies for the repeat!
[name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: When I thought about [name_f]Alma[/name_f] for you, I also thought of this equally vintage, gentle, sweet name. What’s more, I think it goes PERFECTLY with both of your middle choices. [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is sweet and lovely, but it’s also classic and substantial. [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] flows wonderfully, and I love the “l” sounds together.
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: If you like [name_f]Celia[/name_f] and [name_u]Marian[/name_u], what about [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]? It’s every bit as classic, a little British, and very stylish. I think it sounds wonderful with both [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f].
[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: If you like [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] but are concerned about religious ties, what about [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]? It’s just as vintage, striking, gorgeous, and classic, and has quite a bit of flair while also remaining tasteful. Another subtle connection: [name_f]Jane[/name_f]'s second middle, [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]. Depending on the type of flow you like, [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] is stunning with either middle.
[name_f]Daria[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]/[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: These “D” names are the epitome of style and elegance. Both of them also have lots of history and richness. I really like this for you, and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is another great option.
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: I know, and people have DMed me with this observation before: I recommend this name ALL. THE. TIME. But so far, I don’t think I’ve convinced anyone to use it, and with the rise of [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], it’s been largely overlooked, landing somewhere in the late 700s for popularity if memory serves. All of this aside, [name_f]Adele[/name_f] is a tailored, stunning, bright, classic with lots of history. I think it is perfect, both in style and substance, with [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. For something longer, [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is just as elegant, as is [name_f]Adela[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f].
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: Far less common than [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], and definitely more serious, [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] is an underused and striking classic that I’d love to see on a girl.
