We are expecting a daughter in the beginning of [name_f]February[/name_f]. We have a 2 1/2 year old son named [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. It is not important for our two children’s names to be matching or similar, just that they flow well together. We haven’t made much progress narrowing down our list of girls names so I’m looking for some help! I am also open to any names you may have that aren’t on our list.
I tried to avoid place names since that seemed a bit too theme-y with [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], or left out names I just wasn’t into. One name I would specifically cross off is [name_f]Sade[/name_f] because it reminds me of sadism / [name_m]Marquis[/name_m] de [name_f]Sade[/name_f].
My absolute favorite name from your list is [name_f]Indie[/name_f]. I mean, [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] & [name_f]Indie[/name_f]? C’mon thats precious! I also love [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] nn [name_f]Indie[/name_f].
My votes are for [name_f]Eira[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_u]Raven[/name_u], [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], or [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Top choice is [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]. I knew a [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] toddler and she was adorable, and the nickname possibilities are endless: [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], Maga, [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Nolia[/name_f], Magna, [name_f]Nolie[/name_f], etc etc. [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] make a very cute, very unusual, offbeat sibling set. ([name_u]Love[/name_u] the name [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] by the way).
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is spelled wrong, so that could cause some issues later on. I like the name, but definitely check the spelling!
The rest are too trendy for my taste. Names like Blakley, [name_u]Everly[/name_u], and [name_u]Oakley[/name_u] seem very unique until you meet the dozen other little girls whose parents thought the same. Plus, with such a classic name like [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] with fascinating mythology behind it, a name like [name_u]Oakley[/name_u] or [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] just feels rather cheap.
Some lovely choices! My favorites with [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] are [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], valentina, [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], lilac and indigo.

Given your son’s name is [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], it sounds like you like trendy names.
So, you could eliminate my faves (to stay on trend) which are these classics:
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] or [name_f]Lila[/name_f] (not a fan of [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] spelling)

[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]

[name_u]Fallon[/name_u] (reminds me of phallus)

[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] (Lo)
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]

[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]

These place names might gel with your cartography trend, though…[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] &_____
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_u]Dallas[/name_u] (rhymes with phallus)
[name_f]Eira[/name_f] (eye-ra)

[name_u]Salem[/name_u] (as in witch trials?)
[name_f]Valencia[/name_f]
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] ([name_u]Remy[/name_u] is a nice [name_m]French[/name_m] boy’s name…this looks nick-namey)
