So we’re starting to think about a new baby, sibling to [name]Gwendolyn[/name]. I didn’t know about Nameberry last time (now I’m addicted!) and gave absolutely no thought to what names “go” with [name]Gwendolyn[/name]. I’d love to hear what you think - any and all suggestions welcome. DH and I don’t really have similar taste in names, so we’ll go through a lot before agreeing!
I do have one rule: no starting with E, H, B or G. We’ll be using family names in the middle, so we’ll figure that out once we have a first.
[name]Rosemary[/name] (actually I love all the [name]Rose[/name] names)
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Kerensa[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name] (DH has already said no, several times but it’s so lovely)
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Adela[/name]
[name]Clarissa[/name]
[name]Annora[/name]
But I’m not sure I can get DH on board with many of these. [name]Margot[/name] is my current favorite for a girl.
ooh, lots more great suggestions! Girls names are much more fun to me, I don’t know why. I like:
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Elliott[/name] are [name]Gwendolyn[/name]'s cousins, so it’s funny that people have suggested those names - they do go well together though!
Another question - how short can a name be and still “fit” with [name]Gwendolyn[/name]? Especially for a sister, I feel like some names are just too short and will be out of balance. [name]Isla[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Freya[/name], etc are all names that I love but I wonder how they look next to [name]Gwendolyn[/name] - does it look like the other sibling got short-changed in the name dept?
I love [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Freya[/name] with [name]Gwendolyn[/name]! I think a shorter name would work just fine…the two names would complement each other. Definitely put [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Freya[/name] and your short list
[name]Freya[/name] is the prettiest of names and lovely with [name]Gwendolyn[/name].
[name]Don[/name]'t like [name]Danica[/name] in this combo.
[name]Dianna[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name] is pretty
[name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Lavender[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name] nn [name]Mimi[/name]
[name]Letitia[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
Thanks for your suggestions, rollo! I love [name]Margot[/name], it’s my current favorite. DH didn’t veto it but he doesn’t seem to like it too much. I love how it shares the g with [name]Gwendolyn[/name].
