I love family names and would actually have a really hard time naming a baby something that wasn’t a family name (or a really close connection to one). I’m driving my husband crazy with trying to put together combinations, so I’m hoping you all can help! Here are some of the family names I’m considering - what combinations would you put together from these? (my first daughter’s name is [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] if that helps)
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]/[name]Adelaide[/name]/[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Anne[/name]/[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Ella[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]/[name]Lucinda[/name]
[name]Delia[/name]
[name]Lane[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] (this isn’t a family name, but my husband loves it so I’ll include it
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] – [name]Love[/name] the name [name]Georgia[/name]! And I think that this combo works (if you don’t mind the double initials) because the “g” sounds are different.
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lane[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
Are there more family names that don’t end in A? It’s tough finding good combo options when so many share that ending. Would you consider using variations of the names you listed?
Thanks! [name]Love[/name] [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. I’m definitely open to using variations. Maybe that’s the issue I keep having - the same names keep winding up as middle names. I appreciate your thoughts!
I love [name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Grace[/name] (nn [name]Lucy[/name] or [name]Indi[/name]) or [name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Willa[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Willa[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ann[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
not a fan of [name]Delia[/name] but [name]Delilah[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is cute!
I like [name]Delia[/name] but also like [name]Cordelia[/name], which is a pretty direct reference. I also like [name]Dinah[/name] but maybe that’s too far from the source?
[name]Anne[/name]/[name]Anna[/name] you could go with [name]Annabel[/name] or [name]Hannah[/name]. [name]Anna[/name] is derived from [name]Hannah[/name] via translation. And of couse, [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Hannah[/name] both mean “[name]Grace[/name]” which is a bit of a nice connection there.
I like [name]Lucinda[/name] a lot. [name]Lucienne[/name] or [name]Lucilla[/name] could be other options but [name]Lucinda[/name]'s pretty top stuff.
Sorry, previous posters, but [name]Will[/name] & [name]Grace[/name] has not been off the air long enough to let me even think about naming a kid [name]Willa[/name] [name]Grace[/name].
Alright, well here are some ideas for variations of the names you listed:
[name]Elizabeth[/name] – [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Lisette[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]/[name]Adelaide[/name]/[name]Adele[/name] – [name]Della[/name] (I know it doesn’t help with the “a” ending problem, haha. But I love the name!) Also [name]Lena[/name] and maybe even [name]Delaney[/name].
[name]Anne[/name]/[name]Anna[/name] – I like the pp’s suggestion of [name]Annabel[/name] or [name]Hannah[/name] for this
[name]Ella[/name] – Maybe go for a longer “version”? [name]Eliora[/name] or [name]Elliot[/name]?
[name]Delia[/name] – Again [name]Della[/name] would be nice! Also [name]Dahlia[/name].
[name]Lane[/name] – [name]Delaney[/name] would be an option. Idk if it’s your style though. Also [name]Laina[/name].
[name]Willa[/name] – [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] – Perhaps something with the same meaning would be nice. [name]Carys[/name] is the greek word for grace.
Some combos using the new ideas:
[name]Willow[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Willa[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Willow[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Delaney[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Delaney[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Carys[/name]
[name]Della[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Lane[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name] [name]Lisette[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Lucinda[/name] works to me even both ending in ‘a’. (I couldn’t help but call her [name]Annie[/name] [name]Lu[/name] on occasion)
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Adele[/name]/[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
I tried not to repeat. Best of [name]Luck[/name]! I share your sentiment; I need some sort of family tie in my children’s names as well, not just a pretty first and middle, it’s got to have meaning.
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] (as the pp wrote) nn could be [name]Gigi[/name]!
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lane[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Lucinda[/name] or [name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] — [name]Jane[/name]'s so beautiful I wish more people would use it was a fn.
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Delia[/name] [name]Lane[/name]
[name]Willa[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name] (spin on [name]Anne[/name]/[name]Anna[/name])
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Adele[/name]
[name]Do[/name] you like [name]Eleanor[/name] as a variation of [name]Ella[/name]? You could call her [name]Ella[/name].
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Lucinda[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Lane[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Willa[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
