We were blessed without first child in [name]October[/name] 2011 and now number 2 in due this [name]October[/name] 2012. ([name]One[/name] week apart). My wife came up with a great name for our first little girl, which is [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Marie[/name] [name]Payne[/name]. We are having great difficulty with the next little girls’ name.
Currently my wife is in love with the name [name]Sloane[/name]; I don’t share her feelings about the name. I just don’t like it. We were both considering [name]Adele[/name] for the middle name, nothing in stone yet. The issue we keep running into is that our last name is [name]Payne[/name] which sounds like pain. So certain names that would normally work just don’t flow with the last name. I like [name]Victoria[/name].
Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. I won’t take it personally.
[name]Hi[/name] and welcome to Nameberry! [name]Scarlett[/name] is a wonderful, feminine name and I think that [name]Little[/name] [name]Sister[/name] deserves to have it to:) I’m not particularly fond of [name]Sloan[/name] unfortunately. [name]How[/name] about [name]Adele[/name] as a first name? I love [name]Victoria[/name] (great name!) but it feels a bit ‘older’ than [name]Scarlett[/name], which feels very contemporary.
[name]Just[/name] some random suggestions:
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Julia[/name] (my first thought actually)
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Adelaide[/name]/[name]Adeline[/name] (alternatives to [name]Adele[/name])
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Isla[/name]
My suggestion with be [name]Adele[/name] [name]Sloane[/name]. I totally agree that [name]Sloane[/name] [name]Payne[/name] is very abrupt. I also love suggestion of [name]Adelaide[/name].
I love [name]Adele[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name], actually! Would [name]Adele[/name] be an option as a fn? I think [name]Adele[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] would be stunning with [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Marie[/name]!
I’m with you, not a fan of [name]Sloane[/name] at all, really, and I don’t like that it would set you up to feel like you had to use all S names in the future. Have you considered [name]Daphne[/name]? I think it blends the styles of [name]Adele[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], and even [name]Sloane[/name] wonderfully.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] and I don’t see a problem with it next to your last name. I think [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] would be stunning.
[name]Scarlett[/name] is so pretty and [name]Sloane[/name], in my opinion, just doesn’t compare. I love some of the suggestions you’ve been given, particularly [name]Adelaide[/name].
I actually think [name]Scarlett[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name] go fantastic together. [name]Scarlett[/name] may be experiencing a surge of popularity right now, but it’s actually quite classic. So, I think you really can pull from both ends of the spectrum.
What about [name]Adelaide[/name]? [name]Adelaide[/name] & [name]Scarlett[/name] are cute!
I’ll be honest, I truly despise [name]Sloane[/name] for either gender. But I love [name]Adele[/name]! But I thought maybe something like “[name]Willow[/name] [name]Rose[/name]” might suit you. It’s a bit naturey but I thought it could work well with [name]Scarlett[/name] without being absurd. I don’t think it’s too matchy, but others may disagree. Heck, maybe “[name]Willow[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Adele[/name]” if you don’t mind a double combo. I know most people are leaning towards using two middle names nowadays.
I think a two syllable+ name might work better with your last name. You’ve gotten some good suggestions already!

I have to agree with you on [name]Sloane[/name]. I don’t think it sounds good with your last name, and neither does it fit with [name]Scarlette[/name]. I do not find the name appealing at all. I think [name]Adele[/name] or [name]Victoria[/name] would be great with [name]Scarlette[/name].
I don’t like [name]Sloane[/name] either, and agree it doesn’t hold a candle to [name]Scarlett[/name]. I do love [name]Victoria[/name] tho with [name]Scarlett[/name]! So I’m agreeing with most everyone else here. If your wife really wants to use [name]Sloane[/name], I think it’s fine in the middle, but [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Adele[/name] [name]Payne[/name] is much nicer.
I know a girl named [name]Nina[/name] [name]Payne[/name] … if that helps at all [name]Scarlette[/name] [name]Marie[/name] [name]Payne[/name] is adorable by the way! <3
