Please help me narrow down my list!

Hello Berries.

I posted a thread the week asking for name suggestions for a third daughter, and I really loved some of the names that were suggested to me. I compiled a short list from the suggestions given to me in the thread and I was hoping I could have some opinions.

This will be our third daughter, siblings are [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name], [name]Henry[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Primrose[/name].

[name]Lilia[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] (But I don’t think [name]Josie[/name] sounds good with [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]?)
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Cate[/name] (which longer version? [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Catalina[/name]?)
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Esme[/name]

Middle name will likely be either [name]Susannah[/name] or [name]Annabella[/name] to honour a very special [name]Anna[/name].

Thanks for any replies or feedback!

[name]Cora[/name], [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] would all make lovely additions to your family but with your two selected mn’s of [name]Susannah[/name] or [name]Annabella[/name], I think [name]Rose[/name] would be the best option. Would you consider [name]Annabel[/name] as a mn alternative?

My favorites with your sibset are:
[name]Cate[/name] ([name]Catherine[/name])
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]

[name]Catalina[/name] [name]Susannah[/name] is my favorite! It’s sweet but has that little extra dash of spunk. Close in second comes [name]Laurel[/name] [name]Annabella[/name]. All are so lovely, but i think these 2 are the most perfect.

good luck! I’m positive whichever combination you choose will be breathtaking :slight_smile:

I like [name]Clara[/name] best, but I think it’d sound better with [name]Annabelle[/name] rather than [name]Annabella[/name]. Good luck!

I think any of these choices would be great, for [name]Cate[/name], I definitely prefer [name]Catalina[/name]. [name]Catherine[/name] is so boring to me.

I like [name]Lilia[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], and [name]Josephine[/name]–nn [name]Josie[/name] is fine with your sibset.

[name]Lilia[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t really like it.
[name]Clara[/name] - Not a fan, prefer [name]Claire[/name].
[name]Josephine[/name] - I think [name]Josie[/name] sounds just fine! I really like this name.
[name]Rose[/name] - Kind of… bland? for me… sorry.
[name]Cecelia[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like.
[name]Cora[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Laurel[/name] - Really love!
[name]Cate[/name] - [name]Catherine[/name] works, otherwise maybe [name]Caitlin[/name] ([name]Catelyn[/name]? Not a fan of most trendy spellings but this works. If you go with [name]Caitlin[/name] I’d spell her nn [name]Cait[/name]) or [name]Catarina[/name].
[name]Juliet[/name] - Pretty.
[name]Esme[/name] - It’s ok.

[name]JULIET[/name]!!!

I’d pick a shorter FN to match with the other sibs, and I think [name]Susanne[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name] flow nicer than [name]Susanna[/name] and [name]Annabella[/name] and also eliminates one syllable

[name]Clara[/name]- [name]Susanne[/name] for a MN to avoid A overload
[name]Rose[/name]- [name]Annabelle[/name] flows nicely
[name]Cora[/name]- [name]Susanne[/name] for a MN to avoid A overload
[name]Laurel[/name]- [name]Susanne[/name] for a MN to avoid L overload
[name]Esme[/name]- [name]Susanne[/name] or [name]Annabelle[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] that helps

Wow I’m in love with your kids names! My favorites with [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Henry[/name], and [name]Alice[/name] are definitely [name]Rose[/name], [name]Cora[/name], and [name]Cecilia[/name] :slight_smile:

I would vote for [name]Clara[/name]- all of them are great, but [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name] might be seem a little close to your other children since you already have used middle names of [name]Primrose[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name] for them. Plus, like your other names, Clara is a shorter name and isn’t prone to nicknames.

Beautiful sibset, by the way!
