Muriel's sister. Fredrika, Inez, other ideas?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I have 4 kids: [name_m]Warren[/name_m], [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] and [name_f]Muriel[/name_f]. We are talking about maybe one more in a year or two. I know what another son would be named, but it is so hard to find the right girl name. I like what some might call clunky names, but the consanant heavy names sound so strong to me.

Right now I like [name_f]Fredrika[/name_f] the best; I would call her by the full name or [name_f]Frida[/name_f] or maybe [name_f]Dree[/name_f]. This is one I worry a girl in school would hate.

I also like [name_f]Inez[/name_f], [name_f]Clarisse[/name_f], Pasca or [name_u]Pascale[/name_u], [name_f]Eseld[/name_f] (es-ZELD) and [name_f]Yvette[/name_f]. Could I please have your thoughts on my list and any more suggestions?

(Sorry for deletions! I am having trouble getting my replies to be linked to the person I am replying to)

Inez goes best I think but I do really like [name_f]Fredrika[/name_f]. [name_u]Pascale[/name_u] would be cute as well.

I’d also suggest

[name_f]Frida[/name_f]

Clarisse is lovely too

Did she have a nickname? Also, if she was school aged, do you think she liked her name?

[name_f]Ardith[/name_f] is interesting. I think I have heard the name somewhere, but I can’t think of where.

I got to Fredrika from Frida, which I have loved forever, but then I remembered the baby Frida products and thought it might be a better nickname. I really like the rhythm of Fredrika, but Fred- might be really embarrasing for a little girl. I don’t know.

As far as Inez goes, I really prefer Ynes but that spelling is very Spanish, which we are not. Also, maybe Inez is kind of a celebrity name now, which I don’t prefer.

No she went by her fullname! She was about 5 and seemed happy to introduce herself by it

Frederika is cool! Though it’s a little more European-feeling that your older kids’ names. Same with the others on your list – though I do think [name_f]Inez[/name_f] and [name_f]Yvette[/name_f] could work well in your set!

Other clunky-cool ideas:
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]/Betty
[name_f]Dinah[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Enid[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Hester[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Judith[/name_f]/Judy
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhoda[/name_f]
[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]
[name_f]Tilda[/name_f]

Yea, something like [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] or [name_f]Irene[/name_f] is my usual style, but my husband isn’t a fan. He sees [name_f]Muriel[/name_f] as more of a medieval fantasy sort of name. He liked [name_u]Pascale[/name_u] and [name_f]Fay[/name_f]. I like [name_u]Pascale[/name_u], but not [name_f]Fay[/name_f]. [name_u]Haven[/name_u]’t ran [name_f]Clarisse[/name_f]/Clarice, [name_f]Inez[/name_f] or [name_f]Fredrika[/name_f] (I prefer it without the e between d &r.) by him yet.

Oh, I see! Well, it could go that route, too, definitely. In that case, maybe he’d like something like [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] or [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f]? [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]? [name_f]Petra[/name_f]?

@elanorelle Thanks, I kind of like [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_f]Petronella[/name_f] too. [name_f]Eseld[/name_f] is a form of [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] that I prefer.
