Short List

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are due with our first baby at the end of [name_u]June[/name_u]. I am still having trouble saying one name is the “one” so far our short list is the following. Currently [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is my front-runner but I can’t say that’s the one.

Was looking for pros vs. cons of any of the names on the list, name combo tips, general thoughts, and more name suggestions. Thanks!

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_f]Jolene[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list! Here are my thoughts:

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-I love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. It’s my kitty’s name. It’s feminine, smart yet sweet. Classic but sounds fresh. The only con is that it’s super popular.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-I love it! This is on my short list too. So pretty and fun yet classy.

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-I like this. It’s girly yet not overly frilly. A nice solid choice. Simple yet not over done.

[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-Nice name, but way way over done. I prefer [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] too. It looks more polished for some reason.

[name_f]Jolene[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-This is different! It’s not my personal favorite, but I’m still happy to see it on your list. It’s refreshing.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-[name_u]Love[/name_u] it. Getting more popular than you’d think, but such a cute name. I love all of the nns too. Especially [name_f]Nellie[/name_f].

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-I love this one too. I’m really no help, huh? :wink: . I don’t love the nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u] though. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you? It may be hard to avoid.

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]-I like this. It’s a nice classic . Doesn’t sparkle as much as [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] in my opinion. I don’t care much for [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] either.

I’m a sucker for [name_f]Jolene[/name_f]. However I think [name_f]Jolene[/name_f] [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] would flow better. I also love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u].

Other suggestions -

[name_f]Luella[/name_f] - I’m not sure if you’re a nickname person (but I would guess so by the amount of long names) but [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] when she’s young and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] when she’s older would be sweet.
[name_f]Danica[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - It reminds a lot of [name_f]Freya[/name_f] but it is a bit less popular and slightly more edgy.
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - She could go by [name_u]Marty[/name_u] or [name_f]Martha[/name_f].
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - All three of these names have great meanings and sounds great together.
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - A bit more classic but also not super popular.
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - Same as [name_f]Helena[/name_f].
[name_f]Ally[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - This is a bit of an outlier but I think it matches the classical vibe of some of your names. I leaned towards the y spelling to make it a bit more divorced from [name_u]Allison[/name_u] but the ie spelling would work just as well.
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - Similar to [name_f]Danica[/name_f] as it’s slightly more edgy but also still softer and classical feeling.
[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - Very classic but not really well used.
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - I love how many nicknames she could go by - [name_m]George[/name_m] , [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] , [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] or [name_m]Geo[/name_m] even.
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is quite a long middle name and I think [name_f]Vera[/name_f] would be perfect to balance it out.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - very safe but so popular and predictable? It’s nice but not wow, sorry

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] -lovely! I love lively [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] with [name_f]Jane[/name_f]!

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - this is sweet, a nice mix of soft and strong. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would be nice too

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] -quite nice -[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is elegant with so many fun and versatile nn option - , though I’m not sure on the alliteration, [name_f]May[/name_f] be because of the other repeated letters. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f]? [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]?

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] - lovely! Full of charm, elegance and vintage sweetness. It’s cute and versatile

I think all the names on your list are good except [name_f]Jolene[/name_f], which I really dislike. This must be the one that really divides people! To me it doesn’t have the classiness of the others. All the others are traditional names so this one is an outlier. While my favourite is [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], I also think [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] are all good names. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is another strong traditional name but doesn’t appeal to me as much as the others. I love [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].
