We’re slowly getting closer to a girl’s name. While I would still like to honor my grandma, fitting three or four grandmas’ names into one girl’s name may not be feasible. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is the closest we’ve come, but is actually my great-grandmother’s name. As it stands, [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_u]Jo[/name_u] and [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] honor my husband’s grandmothers and we may just have to find a way to honor my grandparents with a boy’s name (since we’re expecting boy/girl twins).
Our last name is pronounced “[name_m]Clay[/name_m]-[name_m]Cole[/name_m]”. So far we have:
What are your favorite combos? Any others you would suggest? My husband doesn’t like using [name_f]Anna[/name_f] for a first name and I already have a niece, [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], who goes by [name_f]Ana[/name_f] ([name_m]Ah[/name_m]-na).
I like [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Christianna[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] the best.
Other suggests/ combos using [name_f]Elle[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f], it would incorporate [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and the middle would flow well with [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u].
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellianna[/name_f] which is a combo of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Elle[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f].
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]/[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] a combo of [name_u]Jo[/name_u] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f]
My favorite would be(in no order) [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f], [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] [name_f]Ellianna[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Elle[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Ellianna[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u] or [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u]
Best of [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!
My favorite is [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f], second favorite would be [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Christianna[/name_f] as a full name best but [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as a NN best. Pretty neutral on [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] as the MN for all three options.
What about something like [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and having your daughter go by [name_f]Belle[/name_f] or [name_f]Bella[/name_f] (while one common known meaning is ‘beautiful,’ it also means ‘devoted to God’)?
[name_f]Christianna[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] is my fave option, [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] is my second choice.
Thanks for the input! Right now we’re leaning toward [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f], which comes with the added benefit of a cute nickname: [name_f]Adie[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u].
