We are expecting our second daughter this [name_f]Summer[/name_f]. We’ve thought that we found the name several times, but then something always feels off and we end up going back to the drawing board. We just aren’t loving anything! Names we have considered have been:
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
Our daughter’s name is [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. The new baby’s middle name would be either [name_u]Marie[/name_u] or [name_u]Maria[/name_u] (whichever sounds best with the first name we choose).
Our style is simple, classic, timeless. We don’t love gender-neutral names. And, we are drawn to shorter names (at least by syllables if not by letter count). Any suggestions that seem to fit our style would be SO helpful!
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] is gorgeous, and I love your list so far! For a sister, how about…
[name_u]Anne[/name_u]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] or [name_f]May[/name_f] (probably without Marie/Maria for the middle)
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] or [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_u]Zoe[/name_u]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_u]Marie[/name_u] (as the first name rather than middle!)
Ooh, I’ve also got to add beautiful [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Diana[/name_f], [name_u]Louise[/name_u], and [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
I know a set of 3 sisters who are [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], and [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! And the sister who is [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u]!
From your list, I think [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] are beautiful with [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! I’ll also suggest:
Really love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] !!
[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Claire[/name_f] !
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
I’m head over heels for [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] but if you’ve put a strike through these names I think I can think of several oyhers that I believe would match up well with either [name_u]Marie[/name_u] or [name_u]Maria[/name_u] + go along with [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as well…
Firstly love [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and you’ve got a really love selection of names that you’re discussing. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourites are [name_u]June[/name_u] & [name_f]Kate[/name_f] they are beautiful.
You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
And I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a sister to [name_f]Grace[/name_f] but not sure if pairs esp well with [name_u]Marie[/name_u] or [name_u]Maria[/name_u] - when [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] exists, depends on your last name; I’d probably go [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u]
I’ll start off by saying that I adore your style and the names you’ve been considering are gorgeous (my personal favourites being [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and Charlotte).
