The only one I really don’t like is [name]Aubree[/name] Brienne. The others are a much nicer mix of modern and traditional, and seem like they would age better. I’m not sure how to pronounce [name]Eilidh[/name], though. Is there an Anglicized spelling you could use?

[name]Eilidh[/name] is pronounced Aylee :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t change the spelling though :slight_smile:

[name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name] sounds the best to my ears.

While I like [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Eilidh[/name] Brienne, the spelling would definitely cause problems. It’s a lovely name and spelling, but it just doesn’t work today. My next choice is [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. So stylish!

[name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name] gets my vote. The others aren’t my taste and I feel that [name]Aubree[/name] Brienne is a bad idea with the -[name]Bree[/name] [name]Bri[/name]- sounds

[name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name], it sounds nice, and looks very pretty.

I love [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name]… But I’m worried about people not pronouncing it correctly for the child’s entire life!! I say it [name]AH[/name]-meh-lee…

I like [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] the best. :slight_smile: [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Eilidh[/name], and I think [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is so sweet and striking. I really love [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] as FNs, too, but I’m not a huge fan of the names you have them paired up with.

Good luck!

Thanks! What would you pair [name]Claire[/name] with for a middle name?

That was so hard!! I love [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name]! I eventually voted for [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name] but I really wanted to vote for [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] though too!

I voted [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] mainly b/c just so excited to see someone else w/ the name choice [name]Eilidh[/name]! It’s one of our top contendors. Loooove the name [name]Eilidh[/name]. Beautiful Scottish name. I do also really like Brienne [name]Lilly[/name]

I voted for [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. The others are too cutesy for me.

[name]Do[/name] I need to stick to the names in your other options? Like [name]Mae[/name], Brienne, [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Eilidh[/name], [name]Lily[/name], etc.? If so, then I would say I like [name]Claire[/name] [name]Eilidh[/name] best, followed by [name]Claire[/name] [name]Amelie[/name]. If not, I like:

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Johanna[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Serena[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Zoe[/name]

Good luck!

Great ideas… I really like [name]Claire[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] actually. It’s a balance of a short simple name with a longer one :smiley:

I like [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name] the best, even though I don’t really like [name]Claire[/name], I find it really rather dated but prefer it in the middle than as a first. [name]Bri[/name]/[name]Bre[/name] names grate on me something awful so I don’t like Brienne and [name]Aubree[/name], and [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Mae[/name] is a bit sing song rhymey. [name]Cali[/name]/[name]Caleigh[/name] I am assuming are varient spellings of [name]Callie[/name], which I like but only in the [name]Callie[/name] spelling, as [name]Caleigh[/name] looks like trendy spelling of [name]Kayleigh[/name] to me.

[name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name]

[name]Eilidh[/name] would just have so many pn and spelling problems, I personally couldn’t burden a child with that name.

Another option I like that you don’t have listed is: [name]Claire[/name] [name]Eilidh[/name]

I voted for Brienne [name]Lilly[/name]. I’ve never heard Brienne before, but I think it’s really cute. [name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Amelie[/name] [name]Claire[/name] are also sweet.

Thanks!! Brienne is interesting… I haven’t really formed that much of an opinion about it yet, but wanted to throw it out there.

[name]Do[/name] you have Gaelic/Irish ancestry? If so, I adore [name]Eilidh[/name]. ([name]Eilidh[/name] [name]Claire[/name] specifically). If you don’t though, you might want to consider an alternate/anglicized spelling, since people would undoubtedly ask you why you chose to spell it that way. “We’re Irish, and that’s the traditional spelling,” is an easy answer to that question, if it’s true.

My husband’s cousin has a daughter they named Aileigh. Normally I’m not a huge fan of alternate spellings, but if you don’t have the heritage to match, I think it’s appropriate. And I love little Aileigh’s name.
