I was recently placed with a baby fir adoption. Our first daughter is named [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] (nn [name_f]Neve[/name_f] or Nevi). Need help with younger baby. Last time my it was down to [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] or [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f]. I generally like longer classic names with good nn. I’m leaning towards middle name ocean. Last name is [name_u]Kelsey[/name_u], so any name with an “ee” sound at the end is out. I’ve always loved the name [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], but can’t get my husband to agree bc he says it’s an allergy medication. (People name their kids [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Addison[/name_u]- which are diseases, but are still nice names). I do care what other people think about a name because it will appear on her resume one day. I also like [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (we both love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], but so popular), [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], emmaline, [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] (not sure sounds good w kelsey), [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], Giselle/a (Husband hates Giselle), [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (although I prefer 3 syllables).
I don’t like gender neutral names bc our last name is a gender neutral first name, and I want the first name to clearly be the first name.
I’ve always thought [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] sounded beautiful together. [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], & [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] are adorable with [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]!
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is super popular, but if you both like it, you should go for it. You could always call her [name_f]Livia[/name_f], or [name_f]Liv[/name_f]!
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f] [name_u]Kelsey[/name_u] sounds pretty nice, though the s sound run into each other a little.
some other ideas:
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] / [name_f]Imogene[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Brianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
Also - [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] is a lovely middle name!!
hope this helps!
Those are all lovely and [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] is an absolutely magical middle name!
Maybe also:
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_u]Phaedra[/name_u]
[name_f]Ariadna[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Eveline[/name_f]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f]
I like Allegra a lot! But I understand the association and the hesitancy. What about Alessia or Electra instead?
Alexandra Ocean is also a good compromise for Allegra, sounds perfect with Genevieve, and has a billion nn’s.
Here are some other suggestions…
Selena
Annika
Amalia
Olympia
Thalia
Ophelia
Athalia
Ottilie
Cordelia
Thank you. I have [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] on my list too and love the name [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] but not sure it’s too complicated for people to pronounce. [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is out bc of personal reasons, even though it beautiful. I will add evangeline.

Thank you. I have several of the names you suggested.
There are so many nice names. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband also agrees on [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f].
Should j in mention the baby is a red-head, so mit sure if I should incorporate that into her name.
[name_f]My[/name_f] first daughter was an adoption and I had 2 weeks to pick her name. 
I actually think [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] sounds great with your last name and with [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. It’s not even my style but [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] sound like super cool sisters. And hearing she is a red head makes [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] a nice fit to me.
I love the [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] suggestion as well.
I like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] best with [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]!
I like [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] & ADrianna!
Thanks! I love them too. I thought I would fall back on one of those names automatically. [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Tanya[/name_f], which is a short version of [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f], so I think that is my hesitation.
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] was my first thought. And great nickname options of [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Addy[/name_f], [name_f]Lady[/name_f] etc
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is so lovely! Out of your ideas I love [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], & [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f]
