Help! We are feeling very uninspired by our current girl list and need suggestions! Siblings are [name_u]Alex[/name_u] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f], so pretty traditional though we’re willing to get a little more interesting with this one. We have a last name that ends in an ‘a’ so we have to be careful of first names that also end in an ‘a.’ For example, we like [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] but it sounds very sing-songy with our name.
Here’s our current list:
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Halle[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] (we like enough to make an ‘a’ exception)
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] (same)
We also like [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], etc but they are way too popular. [name_u]Love[/name_u], love, love [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] but can’t get the husband on board. :-?
Thoughts? Or any brilliant ideas?
I really like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] from your list, but that’s my personal style… Is your [name_u]Alex[/name_u] a boy or girl? If a girl, that makes other unisex names like [name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_u]Blake[/name_u] more appealing, though it seems like you’re leaning toward the more feminine options if you’re willing to make -a exceptions for [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. Other possibilities: [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] your kids names!! [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is my favourite from your list there (love it!), closely followed by [name_f]Lila[/name_f].
Some other suggestions:
[name_f]Beth[/name_f]/[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]/[name_f]Elena[/name_f]/[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]/[name_f]Elise[/name_f] (if you can’t get hubby on board with [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], maybe these?)
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
I really like [name_u]Blake[/name_u]!
Some others I think sound good
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
Thanks! I’ll add [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] to the list. I also love the nickname [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (pronounced ev-ee), but I don’t like any of the formal versions. Same for [name_f]Effie[/name_f].
Out of your list I like [name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] the best.
What do you think of (my favs starred):
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]*
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f])
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]*
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]*
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]*
[name_m]Dabney[/name_m]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]/[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_u]Leighton[/name_u]
[name_f]Lacey[/name_f]*
[name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_u]Gentry[/name_u]*
[name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] (husband vetoed) and [name_f]Margo[/name_f] (same, husband kept saying “large marge”). I like [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] and we considered it but it doesn’t sound great with our last name. [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] are interesting…I’ll have to think about those. Thanks!
