We are expecting baby #3 this [name]September[/name] and just found out today that we will be having another girl! While I am very excited, we are really having trouble finding another girl name to love.
I would appreciate any suggestions or inspiration!
A few things about us:
Big sisters are [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (we call her [name]Elsa[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name] [name]Jane[/name] equally at this point).
Last name is two syllables and starts with a B.
We love classic and old names; I would love finding a name that is timeless yet a little uncommon…we’d prefer finding a name that is easily pronounced and recognizable, but not trendy or popular.
We have Scandinavian and [name]German[/name] backgrounds, so finding a name that reflects this is a plus.
The name does not have to end in ‘A’ like her sisters.
Our top boy names were [name]Anders[/name], [name]Vincent[/name] and [name]Soren[/name].
[name]Agnes[/name] was the first name that popped up in my head while reading your criteria. If you dont like her, what about:
[name]Astrid[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Inga[/name]
[name]Linnea[/name]
[name]Marit[/name]
[name]Signa[/name]
[name]Thora[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Inez[/name]
[name]Suri[/name]
[name]Terra[/name]/[name]Tara[/name]
[name]Cleonie[/name]
[name]Petra[/name]
[name]Sera[/name]
[name]Seren[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
I really like the suggestion [name]Freya[/name] with your other other girls name. [name]How[/name] about [name]Thea[/name]? [name]Lauren[/name] also came to mind since you like the name [name]Soren[/name] for a boy (boys version of [name]Lauren[/name] is [name]Loren[/name], I love [name]Loren[/name]).
My suggestions are strictly from my family tree…I’m half [name]German[/name].
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Martha[/name]
[name]Johanna[/name]
[name]Mildred[/name] [name]Lucille[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Inez[/name]
[name]Wilhelmine[/name] (this is very much a [name]German[/name] name)
For some reason [name]Juno[/name] sprang to mind. But I don’t know why since I don’t love the name myself.
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name] and [name]Juno[/name] sounds good in my head!
[name]Hanna[/name] could also work, and I believe is [name]German[/name] when spelled without the H on the end.
I love your girl’s names! Is there a plan for the middle name? Some thoughts:
[name]Mara[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name]
[name]Trudy[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name]
[name]Kelly[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Tulia[/name]
[name]Faye[/name], [name]Rae[/name], [name]Mae[/name],
[name]Matilda[/name] ([name]Tillie[/name], [name]Greta[/name], & [name]Elsa[/name]!)
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
Is [name]Elsa[/name] already becoming a big sister? It seems like it was yesterday that you were picking her name:D I hope your girls are doing great!
With [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name], I can see:
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Inga[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Flora[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]May[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Vera[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Alva[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Maja[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Saga[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Freya[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Stina[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Vilda[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Tuva[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Ingrid[/name]
[name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Hedvig[/name]
Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I love a bunch of them!
Right now our list includes:
[name]Linnea[/name],[name]Marit[/name],[name]Seren[/name],[name]Thea[/name],[name]Martha[/name],[name]Marta[/name],[name]Louisa[/name],[name]Johanna[/name],[name]Maren[/name],[name]Anneliese[/name],[name]Tess[/name]…a great start!
I love [name]Matilda[/name]/[name]Tillie[/name], but my husband did not. =( I also adore [name]Adelaide[/name], but he is afraid everyone would think of the song. I also do not care for the nickname [name]Addy[/name], and I am afraid she would be called that.
I also love [name]Inga[/name] and [name]Ingrid[/name], but we already used that as a middle name.
I’d like to see something equally short and sweet with [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name], so my favorite from your list would be [name]Thea[/name] If you like [name]Louisa[/name], how about [name]Lovisa[/name]?
I hope you can convince him then;) [name]How[/name] about my screen nick, Svea? To me it has the same vibe as [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name], at least in a Swedish context. It might be too out there for you though… [name]How[/name] about Aina, [name]Frida[/name], [name]Lina[/name], [name]Magda[/name], [name]Saga[/name], or Ylva maybe ? I’d like [name]Greta[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Saga[/name] Or something with an Old Hollywood vibe which I think [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name] has, as [name]Rita[/name] (Hayworth) maybe?
If you like [name]Louisa[/name], how about [name]Lovisa[/name]?
