Back to the boards again after a hiatus of thinking we had “the” name. Our daughter is named [name]Rosamund[/name] and goes by the nn [name]Rosie[/name]. Her middle name is [name]Hazel[/name]. We were set on the name [name]Elowen[/name] [name]Louise[/name] if it was a girl, and just a few weeks ago found that we are having another girl. So excited for sisters! We’ve been calling the baby [name]Elowen[/name], but this baby seems so strong and active already I feel like [name]Elowen[/name] is too… subdued? I still love the sound of it, but it just doesn’t seem to match the little girl I’ve got growing inside of me. Today I thought about the name [name]Juniper[/name], I’ve loved it on and off. Sometimes it seems too hipster, but mostly I love it, and adore the nn [name]June[/name] or [name]Junie[/name]! [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Rosamund[/name] and [name]Juniper[/name] with nn [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]June[/name]/[name]Junie[/name] as a sibset? Too much nature? Middle name for [name]Juniper[/name]? We had [name]Louise[/name] picked if we use [name]Elowen[/name], but I also like [name]Patrice[/name] (family name). Other suggestions altogether? Some other names we’ve discussed are: [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Anneliese[/name], [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Guinevere[/name], [name]Isolde[/name], [name]Persephone[/name], and [name]Wilhelmina[/name]. Thanks in advance!
Oh, I love [name]Rosamund[/name]. [name]Cecily[/name] is the first name that popped into my head for her sister. I like both [name]Elowen[/name] and [name]Juniper[/name] as names but I think [name]Juniper[/name] has a more spunkier vibe.
[name]Juniper[/name] is for sure more spunky. If you go with [name]Daphne[/name] you could always use the nn Daffie/Daphie which is also very spunky. [name]Rosie[/name] and Daffie certainly sound like a fun, lively pair of sisters!
[name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] is gorgeous!
Suggestions:
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] - just had to throw this in here, because the nickname [name]Posey[/name] is adorable. Unfortunately, I think [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]Posey[/name] would be too cutesy.

[name]How[/name] about [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Elowen[/name]? I love [name]Rosie[/name] & [name]Junie[/name]!
The other two favorites are [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Patrice[/name] - [name]Rosie[/name] & [name]Addie[/name]
and [name]Wilhelmina[/name] [name]Patrice[/name] - [name]Rosie[/name] & [name]Billie[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] is nice too!
@jamesina66 - Never thought of putting [name]Elowen[/name] in the middle, could be a good compromise with DH! [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Patrice[/name] is one of my top picks if we have a 3rd girl. It is a beautiful combo, will reconsider for baby #2. Thanks everyone for your input so far, keep it coming!
I was about to suggest [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] also, it’s a beautiful combo.
[name]Juniper[/name] [name]Patrice[/name] is also pretty but the p’s trip over each other a bit.
[name]Magnolia[/name] or [name]Marigold[/name] are a bit more spunky but also have the nature and old-fashioned vibe, and a bit less hipster than [name]Juniper[/name].
I do really like [name]Juniper[/name] though. It has a different feel than [name]Rosamund[/name], but the same spirit.
[name]Rosie[/name] and [name]Liza[/name] was my first thought. [name]Rosamund[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Elizabetta[/name]?
I like [name]Juno[/name] as a nickname for [name]Juniper[/name], feels spunkier than [name]June[/name] or [name]Junie[/name]. [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]Juno[/name] are pretty fabulous together too.
I like [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Louise[/name] or [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Elowen[/name]! I agree that the two p’s in [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Patrice[/name] are a little much, but I think [name]Rosie[/name] and [name]June[/name] make an adorable sibset! I also like [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Juniper[/name].
From your list, I like [name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Adelaide[/name] the best. [name]Elowen[/name] and [name]Juniper[/name] are fine, just not my cup of tea.
[name]Juniper[/name] is for sure spunky and cute and a fantastic sib name for [name]Rosamund[/name]. I think [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Louise[/name] is my favorite combo.
I think [name]Elowen[/name] would work best in the middle for you. [name]Both[/name] [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] or [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] would make a great sister for [name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]. And by the way, I think [name]Rosie[/name] is a gorgeous (and spunky!) nickname.
I agree that [name]Juniper[/name] would be a lovely choice but don’t mind [name]Juniper[/name] [name]Patrice[/name]. I think [name]Junie[/name] is sweet too (and also like J. Have you considered [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Louisa[/name] for a first with nns [name]Lu[/name]/[name]Lou[/name] or [name]Lulu[/name] or [name]Lola[/name]? [name]How[/name] about [name]Junia[/name]? Other thoughts (and I apologize for only scanning this and so therefore possible repeats…)
[name]Wilhelmina[/name]… [name]Willa[/name], [name]Willow[/name], [name]Billie[/name], [name]Billa[/name] or [name]Mina[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name]… [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Winnie[/name], [name]Neve[/name], [name]Vere[/name]/[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Isolde[/name] -Is/Iz, [name]Izzy[/name], [name]Sol[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Patrice[/name] is one of my top picks if we have a 3rd girl. It is a beautiful combo, will reconsider for baby
