[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
My family and I love a bunch of names for this, our last baby girl (have two others already). We are due in two weeks and instead of narrowing down out list, it seems to be growing.
My mom’s name is [name_f]Jane[/name_f], so I’m trying to use that as a middle name (though it doesn’t work with ALL of these). Please give me your honest opinion on these possible names.
Big sisters are already named [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. Last name is [name_m]Phillips[/name_m].
Thank you!
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (need different middle)
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] (need different middle)
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (afraid this may be mistaken for [name_f]Beverly[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (should I worry about the “pee” at the end?)
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (love this one, as it’s musical but so rarely used. Why?)
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f]
Best picks I think are [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], so that’s out imo.
Dislike [name_f]Melody[/name_f]/[name_f]Emily[/name_f] and [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] is not the same style as the others.
Like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] on its own but with P last name, you would get PeePee initials.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] are too L heavy imo with last name.
Regarding [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
What middles have you used for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]?
What’s your mothers middle name? Could that be a good middle for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]?
With [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_m]Phillips[/name_m] I like
[name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
I’d try to use Jane if it’s important to you, so cut any names this doesn’t match (Goldie, Josephine and Lilly). Olivia and Annabelle are gorgeous classic names, so I’d try to choose another with a similar feel. I’d cut Delilah, Calliope, Everly and Melody because they’re either a bit trendy or don’t match very well with siblings’ names. That leaves you with Amelia, Emily, Penelope and Rosalie. I think they’re all lovely. If you want to make more cuts, maybe get rid of Amelia because it starts with the same letter as Annabelle (or don’t worry if that doesn’t bother you). I think Emily is exceedingly popular, so I’d be choosing between Penelope and Rosalie. Maybe the Penelope Phillips (double P initials) is a problem? Not necessarily, but that leaves you with Rosalie Jane, which is beautiful.
From your list I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], but fear it might sound too similar to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and be confusing. [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is lovely and quite on trend right now but I agree it may be mistaken for [name_f]Beverly[/name_f], particularly by the older generation. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is nice, but will likely be shortened to [name_u]Penny[/name_u] - would that bother you?
In my opinion [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] don’t roll off the tongue easily with your surname.
It sounds like you favour classic and pretty names - Have you considered [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] or [name_f]Michaela[/name_f]?
I think [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] I’d the best fit with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. I REALLY love [name_f]Goldie[/name_f]! I think though it sounds at odds with your other daughters names… [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] works though. [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], [name_f]Liv[/name_f] and [name_f]Belle[/name_f] sound amazing!
I like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] the best with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f].
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is also stunning- this would be my second choice!
Good luck!
I would definitely use [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as the nn as it is your last opportunity so that rules out [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. Tis is not a big loss because you have several other great choices. I would stay away from [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] because it has same first initial as her sister.
With [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], my favorites are [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], I like. Personally [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is a bit too popular for my taste. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is my favourite.
I especially like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. In that order. [name_m]Both[/name_m] with [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Sweet name choices.
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - I don’t like this more contemporary name with her older sisters.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - This combo flows well but [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] would share an initial and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] are matchy. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - This vintage name goes well with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f].
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - this flows well but [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is overused for many years.
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] - too nicknamey and cutesy
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - too trendy and boyish with her feminine sisters [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - no, don’t worry about about the “pee” at the end. The name will probably get shortened to [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - This is pretty but reminds me of Calamity [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. It may be difficult for some people to pronounce and spell. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - This is gorgeous with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and my favourite for your family. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - This is a lovely combo with a Southern vibe.
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Phillips[/name_m] is cute and it goes well with [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]!
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
are my favorite combos from your list.
BTW, my girls’ names are [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] Norean (his mom’s name), [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. I am liking [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] but feel like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] may be too popular. I like the idea of having a little girl named [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]!!!
