We have always had a harder time with girl names than boy names, and so when our little [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] “[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]” [name_u]Sage[/name_u] was born, she used the only name we had! I do like a hint of vintage, which is one of the reasons we use the nickname, [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]. To us, its spunky and cute and my DH just adores calling her [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]. But I’m not into really old fashioned names necessarily. Whenever I have searched names similar to [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], they are never “right”. Too old or too new agey. We chose [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] for the whimsy, nature vibe.
One name that I love is [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and I was all for it and in love…But alas… our last name ends with an “el” and it doesn’t flow.
Can you think of similar names that would flow well with [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]?
If this next bump is a boy, his name will be [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. If that helps get the feel of what we like.
A few names with nature-y meanings that I think would pair well with [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (a great name, by the way!!) come to mind:
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_f]Iona[/name_f]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] (maybe too similar to [name_f]Elowen[/name_f])
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]/[name_f]Byrdie[/name_f]
[name_f]Avis[/name_f]
There are another 1-2 that are on the tip of my tongue. Let’s see if they come back to me…
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] is lovely. Here are a few names that popped to mind that feel sweet and nature-y
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] - a personal favorite of mine. I would pair it with something faintly vintage like [name_u]Ellis[/name_u], and nickname her [name_f]Dolly[/name_f].
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] - I think this may be too close to [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and is more popular, but I think the feeling in similar.
Amora - this one may be a long shot because the nature vibe isn’t obvious, but it means “blackberry” in Portuguese
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]/[name_f]Margot[/name_f]/[name_f]Margarite[/name_f] - nickname [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is adorable. I like [name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t best.
I like [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] (nicknamed [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]) or [name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t (nicknamed [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]) best. I would tweak the above poster’s suggestion of [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] to Avonlea, because for no real reason the vibe of [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] reminds me of [name_f]Ann[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables and how wholesome and nature-y it felt to me when I was a child.
I’m swooning over [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]. Absolutely swoooning <3
Just a few ideas:
Elowen and Autumn
Elowen and Fern
Elowen and Clementine
Elowen and Maple
Elowen and Fawn
Elowen and Olive
Elowen and Flora
Elowen and Willow (Winnie and Willow is adorable)

Thank you for the compliments on her name! I have to say, for a short while after she was born I second guessed it because my in-laws couldn’t quite wrap their heads around her name and kept trying to call her [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]! ( Pull my hair out) And I kept thinking we should have just named her [name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and been done!! But I am glad to have kept it, as it just so her. And I guess she could always go by [name_u]Sage[/name_u] later in life if she so desired!
And thank you so much for all the suggestions!
One that I love is [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]. HOWEVER, one of my best friends has a [name_f]Dalyah[/name_f], which is said the same way. And I also love the name [name_f]Isla[/name_f], but her name is [name_f]Kyla[/name_f] and it reminds me of that! (She is just ruining everything! lol!) [name_f]Eira[/name_f] is cute, and we actually looked at that name when looking for [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]'s name, but I don’t know if I want two E’s. Maybe that’s too picky, I don’t know.
I love [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] (prn. [name_m]Cas[/name_m]-ee-ah right?) I love how is flows off the tongue. A friends has a daughter named [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] but they moved to Haiti a couple years ago… so maybe its ok now! lol.
I am also crushing on [name_f]Iris[/name_f] a little here. Super cute. One thing though… and maybe I’m weird for thinking so… but is it too close to [name_f]ISIS[/name_f]? aaahh!! Maybe it would be fine. My best friends nickname is Ris though, so I’m not sure what a nickname would be for [name_f]Iris[/name_f].
And also, another friend just had an Avonlea. Go figure!
Poo.
Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them coming if you think of more!!

Thanks for the feedback! I am kind of crushing on [name_f]Indie[/name_f]. Could that name stand on its own or is it too cutesy for a full name? I’m just not sure I like the full names that come with it. Hmmm… [name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]? [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Indie[/name_f]? Does that even go?
I like it. What about [name_f]Indira[/name_f] or [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]?
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Indira[/name_f] ([name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Indie[/name_f])
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] ([name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Indie[/name_f])
[name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is very cute. [name_f]Indira[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would be gorgeous! ([name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is a no-go, obv.)
