I was recently placed with a baby fir adoption. Our first daughter is named Genevieve Rain (nn Neve or Nevi). Need help with younger baby. Last time my it was down to Genevieve, Tatiana or Adrianna. I generally like longer classic names with good nn. I’m leaning towards middle name ocean. Last name is Kelsey, so any name with an “ee” sound at the end is out. I’ve always loved the name Allegra, but can’t get my husband to agree bc he says it’s an allergy medication. (People name their kids Scarlett and Addison- 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 Arabella, Olivia (we both love Olivia, but so popular), Vivienne, emmaline, Alexandra, Annalise (not sure sounds good w kelsey), Madeline, Giselle/a (Husband hates Giselle), Clara (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]
