My princess will be born Friday morning. My husband and I have a short list but I am still searching.
I need harsh opinions ladies. I am looking for a name that doesn’t clash with big brother [name]Evan[/name]. A name that is a little frilly and pink, I almost like names that are tad bratty…no British, no old fashioned, nothing trendy. I really want to give her a good name!
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Annabelle[/name] - I like it but it sounds too regal to me and I hate the nicknames!
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Summer[/name] - really love but noticed [name]Claire[/name] was on the most hated list a lot, it is plain and it bugs me it is one syllable!
[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Emma[/name] - this name has just the right amount of sass, love [name]Maddie[/name], not so much the long version…
We also like [name]Daisy[/name]? I suggested it and my husband likes that it is a flower, but it was also my parents dogs name years ago so maybe a bit problematic…
Other names I like but am unsure of and hubby has not fully approved:
[name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Erin[/name]
[name]Chelsie[/name]
[name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] - I like the idea of a jewel name but hubby hates [name]Ruby[/name] and the others sound old ladyish
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Lyla[/name]
[name]Nova[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Hayley[/name]
[name]Brooklyn[/name]
And names I cannot use but still like
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Ava[/name]
[name]Alison[/name]
[name]Aubree[/name]
[name]Macy[/name]
I like [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]. Have you considered [name]Clara[/name]? It’s two syllables and a little less plain, and it’s also less popular currently. I like it better than [name]Claire[/name]. I’m not a fan of [name]Madelyn[/name], especially spelled that way - much prefer [name]Madeline[/name]. [name]Daisy[/name] is cute but I don’t know if I can picture it on an adult.
Of your other names: I love [name]Erin[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name], and I like [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Sarah[/name]. Most of the others are kinda meh for me. Hate [name]Brooklyn[/name].
Some more suggestions for you:
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Bethany[/name] (really like this for you, feminine and not too trendy)
[name]Kirsten[/name]
[name]Opal[/name] (I know you’ll probably think it’s old ladyish but I love it, and it’s gotten an update with the [name]Heather[/name] [name]Graham[/name] character)
[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Trista[/name]
I like [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]! Lol. Or [name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. I also love the previous suggestion of [name]Clara[/name] instead of [name]Claire[/name] - it’s a bit pink and frilly. I love [name]Madeline[/name] (Mad-a-line), but not [name]Madelyn[/name]. Have you also thought of [name]Matilda[/name]? A bit less popular than [name]Madelyn[/name], and she could get [name]Mattie[/name] or [name]Tilly[/name] for short.
As for your others…
[name]Love[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] - actually, [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] sounds beautiful! Or [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] sounds great too. She could be called Ellie for short, and Ellie and Evan sounds adorable!
[name]Sarah[/name] - pretty, but a bit plain
[name]Meredith[/name] - love it, but not sure it goes with [name]Evan[/name]??
[name]Erin[/name] - ok
[name]Chelsie[/name] - prefer it spelled [name]Chelsea[/name], the traditional way
[name]Mackenzie[/name] - this is ok, and it does go with [name]Evan[/name]. Not really my style though.
[name]Nova[/name] - not sure about this!
[name]Hannah[/name] - sweet, goes with [name]Evan[/name] quite nicely!
[name]Hayley[/name] - not too keen on this one
[name]Brooklyn[/name] - I like this a lot
I really like [name]Claire[/name]. It helps that it’s my middle name. But it’s a classic that works on a baby or a grown-up, so it’d be my pick from your list.
I don’t like the spelling of [name]Madelyn[/name]. I prefer it [name]Madeline[/name].
From your like I like [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Chelsea[/name] (because once again I’d spell it different), [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Hayley[/name].
I think [name]Clara[/name] would be lovely, and would work well with big brother [name]Evan[/name]. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] would be nice…
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Annabelle[/name] - I like this, but doesn’t go with [name]Evan[/name] at all.
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Summer[/name] -I like this combo, [name]Claire[/name] would be cute with [name]Evan[/name]
[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Emma[/name] - I like the nickname [name]Maddie[/name] also, but this just seems a little plain [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name]- [name]Way[/name] too boring [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name]- Doesn’t match [name]Evan[/name] [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Erin[/name]- Cute, but maybe a little too close to [name]Evan[/name]?
[name]Chelsie[/name]- This one is just NMS
[name]Mackenzie[/name]- Cute!
[name]Ruby[/name] - I love this.
[name]Elizabeth[/name]- Too plain [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Lyla[/name]- This is cute but prefer [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Nova[/name]- NMS
[name]Hannah[/name]- [name]ADORE[/name] the name, but prefer [name]Hanna[/name] (the other h is so unnecessary [name]IMO[/name])
[name]Hayley[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this, prefer the spelling [name]Hailey[/name] though, this would be cute with [name]Evan[/name] though
[name]Brooklyn[/name]- Cute, but prefer just [name]Brooke[/name]
A few suggestions:
[name]Hanna[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Hailey[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Lola[/name] [name]Mackenzie[/name]
I would opt for [name]Charlotte[/name] over the terribly boring [name]Claire[/name] and the trendy looking [name]Madelyn[/name]. [name]How[/name] about something like [name]Eva[/name]? [name]Eva[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] would be beautiful. Two syllables, sassy and classic. I like the suggestion of [name]Clara[/name] as well. [name]How[/name] do you feel about:
Like the [name]Clara[/name] suggestion, as well as [name]Lila[/name]. The others seem too popular to me.
Some suggestions…
[name]Halle[/name] - similar to [name]Hayley[/name] on your list, but less common
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]London[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Paige[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]
I love [name]Charlotte[/name] but more so as a middle name since it is really popular. [name]How[/name] about [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] (spelt with the one “L” to make it look less fussy?).
I also like [name]Madelyn[/name] but spelt like [name]Madeline[/name].
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Brooke[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] (I am biased as I have a totally BEAUTIFUL gorgeous daughter named [name]Brooke[/name])
[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Maddison[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (yeah, I know [name]Maddison[/name] is trendy, but it is cute [name]IMO[/name]- nn [name]Maddy[/name])
[name]Maddison[/name]/[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name] [name]Madelyn[/name]
I know it was a little over popular from the past… BUT consider:
[name]Caitlin[/name] [name]Sarah[/name] as [name]Caitlin[/name] is Irish and [name]Evan[/name] Welsh so a similar gaelic vibe
or even:
[name]Ashlyn[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (phonetic spelling)
[name]Aislinn[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (Irish spelling)
[name]Ashlyn[/name]/[name]Aislinn[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
as pp suugested
[name]Bethany[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Bethany[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name] to me suggests [name]Tansy[/name], which is also a flower but not as common, means “immortal” sounds cute, and isn’t very many people’s dogs name. Or [name]Saffron[/name]? Saffy is a bit bratty as a nickname but [name]Saffron[/name] is cute and a flower and also an expensive spice.
[name]Jewel[/name] names that don’t sound so old lady: [name]Amethyst[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Topaz[/name], [name]Emerald[/name]? I like that [name]Amethyst[/name] and [name]Emerald[/name] break down to [name]Amy[/name] and [name]Emmy[/name] easily.
I need harsh opinions ladies. I am looking for a name that doesn’t clash with big brother [name]Evan[/name]. A name that is a little frilly and pink, I almost like names that are tad bratty…no British, no old fashioned, nothing trendy. I really want to give her a good name!
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Annabelle[/name] -To me this could fit in with old-fashioned and British…It is sweet though. Some NNs could be [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Charla[/name], [name]Lettie[/name], [name]Lottie[/name], [name]Charla[/name]-[name]Belle[/name], [name]Charlie[/name]- [name]Bell[/name]…
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Summer[/name] - I don’t love the flow. I love the name [name]Summer[/name], but [name]Claire[/name] is kinda dull to me, maybe you would like [name]Clara[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Coralie[/name]?
[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Emma[/name] - I love the flow of it. Maybe [name]Madeline[/name]?
[name]Daisy[/name] is super cute! Maybe you would like [name]Dahlia[/name]?
Other names I like but am unsure of and hubby has not fully approved:
[name]Sarah[/name]- love it
[name]Meredith[/name]- it’s ok
[name]Erin[/name]- this name is really beautiful and I never hear it on girls anymore…would love to meet a little [name]Erin[/name]!
[name]Chelsie[/name]- i really dislike this one esp with that spelling
[name]Mackenzie[/name]- i really dislike this one
[name]Ruby[/name] - it is a bit old ladyish, but [name]Rue[/name] is a really cute NN imo and I like the jewel thing
[name]Elizabeth[/name]- pretty and classic
[name]Lyla[/name]- nms
[name]Nova[/name]- really pretty and unique
[name]Hannah[/name]- this is ok, a little played out
[name]Hayley[/name]- same as above!
[name]Brooklyn[/name]- this is one of my least favorites. [name]Brooke[/name] is nice though!
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Annabelle[/name]- [name]Charlotte[/name] is very popular, but I like it paired with [name]Annabelle[/name].
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Summer[/name]- This is my favorite on your list, although I’m not the biggest fan of [name]Summer[/name].
[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Emma[/name]- No, spelling [name]Madelyn[/name] looks tacky and uneducated. I would assume you were very young and/or not very bright. It’s harsh, but it’s my real perception of the name.
As for the rest of your list I like [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], and [name]Hannah[/name].
The only name I hate is [name]Mackenzie[/name]. I think it’s awfully unattractive.
I think [name]Clara[/name] is lovely, much much nicer than [name]Claire[/name]. I would prefer [name]Charlotte[/name] over [name]Claire[/name], too-- possibly [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Erin[/name]?
[name]Bethany[/name] and [name]Ashlyn[/name] are also nice suggestions, from what you say you like.
[name]Pearl[/name] – I don’t think this is too old-ladyish, and I like it much more than [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Lyra[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Brooke[/name]
What about [name]Gemma[/name]? Its pretty, feminine, a tiny bit on the bratty side, and while it isn’t a preciuos stone it is related to the word “gem.”
I love [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Annabel[/name], spelled this way. My second choice for you would be [name]Clara[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] or [name]Clara[/name] [name]Annabel[/name].
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] is beautiful! I also love the name [name]Lila[/name] (spelled that way), as that was going to be this baby’s name had he been a girl. Good luck!!
I have a friend with twins named [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name] and I think these names go together very well. I think [name]Amelia[/name] has kind a similar feel to it as some of your other names ([name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Madelyn[/name]) but would be a little more distinctive. Some possibilities are:
