new sibling

General Name Discussion
1

we recently found out we are expecting another little one. We will find out whether it is a he or she in 7 weeks. we are pretty sure we will be using the same boy name we had picked out for our daughter (Truett [name_u]Lee[/name_u]) but are unsure on girl names. our current children are [name_m]Connor[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] (11.5), [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] (7) and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] (1). Some names that we both like:

[name_f]Veda[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
Aiven
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]

But I’m unsure on some of them, and feel like they are becoming more popular than I would like. Help me find something that will flow with my kids names but stand on its own as well? mn will be [name_u]Joyce[/name_u] and that is non-negotiable.

[name_m]Connor[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] are a wonderful sibling set. I adore [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f], love [name_m]Connor[/name_m].

I would add -

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_u]Clare[/name_u]/[name_f]Claire[/name_f]

Wow, your sibset is so charming! I adore [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] with [name_m]Connor[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u] sounds perfect to me. My second choice would be [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]. I would shy away from [name_f]Violet[/name_f] just because it shares a significant vowel sound with [name_f]Isla[/name_f], so I feel like it might get confusing if someday you’re yelling up the stairs for one [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] comes running. Anyway, if you’re open to some other first name suggestions, I’ll see what I can scrape together. [name_u]Joyce[/name_u] is a great middle name as far as flow!

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Marnie[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Milena[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]

Best of luck!

I think [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u] is gorgeous and sounds great with your other children.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] some of these help

Oh, I love [name_f]Veda[/name_f]! But it’s doesn’t flow too well with [name_u]Joyce[/name_u].

Out of your pick I agree that [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] sounds best with [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]

thank you all for the suggestions. I think hazel is what we are leaning most towards, its just becoming so popular around here, and I have tried very hard to avoid anything SUPER popular (I’m a kimberly from the 80’s)

I love the name Freyja - but that was my cat’s name, and i just cant bring myself to use it on a human.

[name_u]Avery[/name_u] is also gorgeous, but it already belongs to my nephew.

I love the name [name_f]Avis[/name_f], and tried VERY VERY hard to get DH on board, but he says all he can hear is “anus”. ::rolls eyes::

I’ve also been tossing around the name [name_f]Tesla[/name_f]…but not sure if its just too similar to [name_f]Isla[/name_f] (even thought the S isn’t silent in [name_f]Tesla[/name_f]) I love strong spunky names for girls that can also be dressed up.
