We have three kids, ages 6, 5 and 3:
[name]William[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] ([name]Will[/name])
[name]Hallie[/name] [name]Ellen[/name]
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Andrew[/name]
We are adopting a 4-month-old baby girl, named Minkesh, from Ethiopia and are having a terrible time deciding on what her name will be! We want it to “fit” with our other kids names. We may or may not keep Minkesh as her middle name… Any thoughts appreciated!
Here is what we like (first name) so far:
[name]Hope[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Madelene[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Bryony[/name]
[name]Jade[/name]
[name]Mercy[/name]
From your list, I would choose [name]Amelia[/name]; it’s classic like [name]William[/name], it’s popularity matches [name]Tristan[/name], and most of it’s nicknames work well with [name]Hallie[/name]. [name]Amelia[/name] Minkesh is very pretty.My second choice would be [name]Lila[/name] only because the nicknames [name]Lil[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] are too similar to [name]Will[/name] (for me).
This is entirely random, but I wanted to mention that years ago, I read a book called [name]Amalee[/name] (similar to [name]Amelia[/name]), in which two characters were called [name]Hallie[/name] and [name]Ellen[/name].
My favorite of your current list is [name]Hope[/name]. I think it’s lovely and fits well with [name]William[/name], [name]Hallie[/name] and [name]Tristan[/name]. [name]Hope[/name] Minkesh is a beautiful name!
Others to consider:

[name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name]

[name]Georgia[/name]
