[name]Hi[/name] there…I chose [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]…they are two of my favorites, and they both sound the best with your ln. I would change the mn for [name]Claire[/name] from [name]Ann[/name] to a 2 or 3-syllable name, though. [name]How[/name] about
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Marie[/name] or [name]Claire[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]?
Thanks for the suggestion about a mn for [name]Claire[/name]. We were having trouble picking one that sounded good. Of your suggestions, we’d probably go with [name]Marie[/name], since that’s a family name.
To me, [name]Caitlin[/name] is too similar to Caelum. With your last name, I’d also avoid names that end in the -y sound like [name]Hailey[/name], [name]Natalie[/name], [name]Molly[/name]. I like [name]Violet[/name], [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] (although I agree with pp that [name]Claire[/name] would go better with a longer middle.) I really like [name]Karissa[/name] with the repeating k sound with your last name.
I totally agree about [name]Caitlin[/name], but dh is in love with that name.
And we both feel that way about the -y sound, especially with our last name…but it really rules out a lot of names. And maybe she’ll get an even worse last name when she marries? LOL
I chose [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Marie[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name] [name]Marie[/name]. [name]Juliet[/name] would be my first pick, it’s perfect. I chose [name]Natalie[/name] as second, but would prefer [name]Natalia[/name], both for the rhyming with last name factor and the fact that your son’s names are pretty unusual and I feel like [name]Natalia[/name] is a bit more exotic feeling.
I’d definitely go with [name]Juliet[/name]! Of your choices, I think it best compliments [name]Orion[/name] and Caelum…
Have you considered two middle names for her? [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Maria[/name] [name]Caitlin[/name] Sharkey would be pretty! Or, [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Maria[/name] [name]Cait[/name] Sharkey?
[name]Juliet[/name] is one of the names that dh and I both like, but not as much as our own “faves”. [name]Juliet[/name] is my 6 year old son’s pick as well.
[name]Lemon[/name], I’m not into 2 middle names. Thanks for the suggestion though!
