My husband and I recently found out we’re expecting number 4. Here’s my dilemma. I’m normally the “baby-name person” everyone comes to for help. This was a huge surprise and I honestly don’t know if I can love another baby name the way I already do my children’s names. I need some serious help.
We’re having a little girl. The baby will be joining big sisters:
[name]Celeste[/name] [name]Anabelle[/name]
[name]Vera[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
and big brother:
[name]Abbott[/name] [name]Freeman[/name].
I’m in love with clunky old fashioned lady names but I need something that will go well with [name]Celeste[/name] and [name]Vera[/name] and I’d like to keep all their first name letters separate - so we don’t want another ‘C’ or ‘V’ or ‘A.’ I’d also like to stay out of the top 300. Thanks in advance for any help! I desperately need it!
[name]Beatrix[/name] (only if you like the alliteration with your last name…)
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name]

Thank you ladies so much…these names are the reason I stalk Nameberry.
So far, I absolutely love:
[name]Florence[/name] -(it’s actually a great-grandmother name in our family)
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name]
[name]Maude[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Rosamund[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Georgina[/name] and
[name]Eugenia[/name]
I love the nn [name]Effie[/name] but I don’t know if we could pull off [name]Euphemia[/name].
So glad you have found some names that you love!
So far, I absolutely love:
[name]Florence[/name] -(it’s actually a great-grandmother name in our family) - so cool
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name]
[name]Maude[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Rosamund[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Georgina[/name] and
[name]Eugenia[/name]
I love the nn [name]Effie[/name] but I don’t know if we could pull off [name]Euphemia[/name].
We had this subject come up before and decided that [name]Effie[/name] could be an for any name that starts with an “F” (such as [name]Florence[/name]!) Or you could name your daughter a name that starts with an “E”, and then her middle name could start with an “F”. Like [name]Eugenia[/name] [name]Florence[/name].
I’m voting on the name [name]Rosalie[/name]! I love it with the other names, I like how the whole family pulls together in a strange, but very awesome, way! Cheers!
I think you should stick with a two-syllable name to match [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Vera[/name], and [name]Abbott[/name]. My favorite from your list that you like is [name]Estelle[/name] - I love it! [name]Estelle[/name] [name]Georgiana[/name] gets my vote!
[name]Opal[/name] [name]Clementine[/name] [name]Love[/name] this one
[name]Laura[/name] [name]Lily/name I like the alliteration a cute name
[name]Geneva[/name] [name]Emerald[/name] nn [name]Jenny[/name]

[name]Do[/name] any of these names ring your bell?
[name]Opal[/name], [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Vera[/name] and [name]Abbott[/name]
[name]Iris[/name], [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Vera[/name] and [name]Abbott[/name]
[name]Geneva[/name], [name]Celeste[/name],[name]Vera[/name] and [name]Abbott[/name]
[name]Laura[/name], [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Vera[/name] and [name]Abbott[/name]
I desperately need it!
