Nina and...?

Girl Names
1

So some have expressed that my name choice for our second daughter, [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] (due [name]June[/name] 30th), does not exactly compliment our first daughter’s name, [name]Nina[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]. I agree somewhat but I still love the name on its own at very least.

I have so many ridiculous criteria for this name I need assistance. So, let me explain my criteria:

I prefer the first name to be 4 letters
I prefer the middle name to be 8 letters
It cannot be within the top 30 names
I do not like names ending in ‘ie’ or the ‘ie’ sound
I do not want another ‘N’ name
Nothing that rhymes with [name]Nina[/name]

So, yes, I am strange, but I am also willing to bend for something amazing. Thanks everyone.

Okay, I’m going to start with first names…

[name]Ayla[/name]*
[name]Cara[/name]*
[name]Dora[/name]
[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Gwen[/name]*
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Kaia[/name]*
[name]Lola[/name]
[name]Maia[/name]
[name]Rhea[/name]
[name]Sela[/name]*
[name]Tess[/name]

[name]Do[/name] any of those float your boat? Ha! You want something quirky and fun yet effortlessly feminine, I think. I’ve marked my favorites!

Middle names with 8 letters? That is a bit tougher off the top of my head…

[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Tallulah[/name]

Okay, so some names I like with [name]Nina[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] are:

[name]Ayla[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Cara[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Gwen[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Kaia[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Sela[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]

Good luck!

Is it relatives who don’t like [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]?

I think [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Nina[/name] go wonderfully together! Especially since you’ve given them both longer classic sounding middle names. :slight_smile:

I think [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] is perfect with [name]Nina[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]! I don’t think you really need to look any further…

Is there any particular reason the name needs to be 4 letters and middle 8 letters? That really narrows the possibilities…

[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Sara[/name]
[name]Rosa[/name]
[name]Mira[/name]
[name]Ilsa[/name]
[name]Elsa[/name]
[name]Alys[/name]
[name]Mona[/name]
[name]Rhea[/name]

[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Mara[/name]
[name]Clio[/name]

[name]Audra[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name] (5/8)
[name]Avery[/name] [name]Theodora[/name] (5/8)
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Bryn[/name] (8/4) [name]Emmy[/name] for nn?
[name]Eden[/name] [name]Michelle[/name] (4/8)
[name]Meredith[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (8/4)
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] (5/8) [name]Tess[/name] would be 4
[name]Inez[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] (4/8)
[name]Anouk[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] (5/8)

I honestly don’t see what the problem is. [name]Do[/name] you and bf/hubby like it? If yes, don’t worry about what family says. I think [name]Nina[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] sound very pretty. I also adore [name]Caroline[/name]. GL! [name]Love[/name] the name choice.

11

i think it’s a great fit to be honest AND even if it wasn’t, as long as YOU and DH (partner) love the name, that’s all that matters. :slight_smile:

12

I really like the suggestions of [name]Dora[/name], [name]Faye[/name] and [name]Alma[/name]. I too prefer 4 letter first names with longer middle names. [name]Iris[/name] works with [name]Nina[/name] BUT [name]Nina[/name] sounds more fun and [name]Iris[/name] a little more stuffy.

13

I know a set of twin girls called [name]Nina[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] and everyone adores the names together. I know [name]Clara[/name] isn’t four letters, but it’s close and in 2009 it was #199 in popularity. I love the middle name [name]Elizabeth[/name] (it’s my own!) It’s nine letters instead of eight, but it’s close!

So I think [name]Clara[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] would be lovely although it is two letters off!

14

I love the name [name]Nina[/name] and I don’t think [name]Iris[/name] sounds bad with it. If you and your husband love it you should use it. It will grow on the others.
