Hello Berries! I’ve been using Nameberry a lot lately to find names and I need a bit of help shortening the list. DH and I have work to do still before the baby arrives, so I may just be posting my own threads rather than replying to others.
DH and I had our first children, a set of twins, after TTC for 4 years. [name_f]Heather[/name_f] [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Posey[/name_f] “[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]” and [name_f]Leila[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Rylie[/name_u]. They are six years old now and we have been TTC again since they were four years old. Now we are finally pregnant again with another girl and I am very far along, I just broke my eighth month, and the doctor is telling us to expect early labour because of the baby’s size. The problem is we have too many names we agree on, so our list is fantastically long. If somebody could pick their top 5 names that they love and work as a sibset, maybe list why they like them, that would be great Here’s our list:
[name_f]Kiana[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] nn Ello (not [name_f]Ella[/name_f], Ello)
[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Melaniu[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Carmella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcia[/name_f]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Noa[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u]
[name_u]London[/name_u]
Thanks! I haven’t told my husband but I sense the baby is coming soon, so I’m not sure I have more than two or three weeks to get this name locked down.
Oh, so many I love! I’d have to say my favourites are [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Kiana[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Aria[/name_f] because the name [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is so popular these days and I love the elaboration. I think all five are just plain charming, cute, and underused, with the exception of [name_u]Eloise[/name_u].
My favorites are [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] being my top choices.
My favorites are [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u] & [name_f]Carmella[/name_f] ([name_f]Millie[/name_f]), followed by [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] ([name_f]Noa[/name_f]).
[name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u]
I think some of the names on your list ([name_f]Olympia[/name_f], [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]), while pretty names, are quite a different style to the twins. Not sure if that bothers you or not. I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]June[/name_u] with [name_f]Heather[/name_f] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f] because they seem more similar in style. With [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] or [name_u]June[/name_u], everyone would have their own unique initial. I also like that these names have three or one syllable respectively, so they’re different to the twins names (both two syllables).
A lot of the names on your list end in an ‘uh’ sound like [name_f]Heather[/name_f] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f] do ([name_f]Kiana[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Ever[/name_u], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Nadia[/name_f], [name_f]Carmelia[/name_f], [name_f]Marcia[/name_f], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f], and [name_f]Olympia[/name_f]). I like the [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]June[/name_u] have a different final sound.
My favourites are [name_f]Kiana[/name_f], [name_f]Marcia[/name_f], [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] and [name_u]Sydney[/name_u].
Good luck!
Thank you all for the help I recently went into the hospital with my husband in a panic but the baby hasn’t come yet. I stayed for a while but nothing came of it. We are all sure that little lady is coming very soon.
Top 5
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Carmella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
Would you consider [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Carmella[/name_f]?
Congrats! I love your daughters’ names! I think [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f] sound adorable together. I think these names work best with your sibset (in no particular order).
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] nn Ello (Ello is such a cute nn btw. I’ve never heard that before and it makes me like the name more than I usually do)
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Noa[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Aria[/name_f]

My three favourites are [name_f]Carmella[/name_f], [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] love [name_u]Harper[/name_u].
[name_u]LOVE[/name_u]
[name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] - please, please pick [name_u]June[/name_u]! It fits perfectly, and feels so fresh. It really livens up the set of names. So pretty.
[name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_f]Marcia[/name_f] - this is very sweet. [name_f]Marcia[/name_f] is underrated and feels original these days. Go for it!

[name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]
[name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_f]Melanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Kiana[/name_f] - having sisters with exotic names like [name_f]Leila[/name_f] and [name_f]Kiana[/name_f] would make [name_f]Heather[/name_f] seem excluded.
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] - too close to [name_f]Heather[/name_f]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] - too harsh and abrupt, [name_u]June[/name_u] is far better!!
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] - I know most people would recommend, but to me it doesn’t feel modern enough. Also looks heavy next to [name_f]Leila[/name_f]. [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_f]Leila[/name_f]… no. Doesn’t work.
[name_u]Ever[/name_u] - rhymes with [name_f]Heather[/name_f], that doesn’t work. [name_m]Say[/name_m] this out loud: “Here are my daughters, [name_u]Ever[/name_u] and [name_f]Heather[/name_f].”
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f] - having sisters with botanical names like [name_f]Heather[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] would make [name_f]Leila[/name_f] seem excluded.
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f] - too exotic to go with [name_f]Heather[/name_f]
[name_f]Carmella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] - again, too exotic
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f] - way too bold
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u] - too masculine, sticks out
[name_u]London[/name_u] - too trendy, not pretty enough
Do you have middles already picked out? If not, here are some ideas:
June Nadia Eloise
Eloise Ariana Noelle
Nadia Eloise Noelle
June Eloise Ariana
Ariana Lavender Eloise
Olympia June Marcia
I second [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]!
Other suggestions:
