We are expecting our third in [name_u]June[/name_u] - won’t find out the sex until the birth. We have a five year old named [name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Diane[/name_f] and a two year old named [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u].

Which name do you prefer for a sister?

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]
[name_u]Marion[/name_u] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f]

And for a brother?

[name_u]Noel[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]

Or any other ideas??
Thanks all!

Hello! I am going to stick to girl advice, since that’s more my alley. First things first, I love your daughter’s names! I’ve noticed that they are [name_m]French[/name_m] classics, and that you favor double letters. However, would you consider just [name_u]Simone[/name_u]? I think that spelling is a bit more streamlined and causes less pronunciation confusion. (I say this because I knew a [name_f]Simonne[/name_f] and people constantly pronounced her name as Sym-on.) From your list, my favorite by far is [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. It’s STUNNING! Lively, with a double letter, classic, and elegant. I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f], while it is lovely, is too popular for your sibset, and would encourage you to use it as a middle. [name_u]Marion[/name_u] strikes me as a bit old-lady-ish. I adore [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] is very sweet.

Thanks for the great feedback, danakatherine! [name_f]Simonne[/name_f] is actually my grandmother’s name and it would feel wrong to change the spelling, especially as she’s a super opinionated 98 year old. :slight_smile: If I could, I’d change it to [name_u]Simone[/name_u] and use [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u], but the double-n, double-n doesn’t work for me. I think, like you, I am loving [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] the most. My grandmother’s grandmother was [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] so the [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] name would be a nod to her.

I love [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] but my husband is against using a third C name. I also love [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] from your list. Thanks for the help!

[name_f]Colette[/name_f] & [name_f]Camille[/name_f] are beautiful!

Here are my thoughts for number three…

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]-This is gorgeous. I think that [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is a slightly more common spelling, & I personally like the sleekness of it more. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] either way though.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f] -I love this one too. It’s getting popular though, if that bothers you.

[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]-This is beautiful, & perfect with your [name_m]French[/name_m] named daughters.

[name_u]Marion[/name_u] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f]-[name_m]Even[/name_m] though this name is very feminine, this is still the masculine spelling in English. I’d go for [name_u]Marian[/name_u]. It’s really sweet, but not quite as fancy as [name_f]Colette[/name_f] & [name_f]Camille[/name_f]. I don’t think that [name_u]Marian[/name_u] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f] flows that well. [name_u]Marian[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is better.

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f]-This is adorable. I kind of like it as a nn for [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], but it is apparently a name on its own in [name_m]French[/name_m].

[name_u]Noel[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] -I adore this. It’s sturdy, yet gentle. Simple, but not at all over done.

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] -I love this too!

I’m really no help at all, because I adore your lists. And here are a few more suggestions:

[name_f]Adele[/name_f]

[name_f]Adelie[/name_f]

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]

[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]

[name_f]Louise[/name_f]

[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]

[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] as a fn

[name_f]Sofie[/name_f]-really popular though

[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]/[name_u]Adrien[/name_u]

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]

[name_m]Crispin[/name_m]

[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
I love all your options, especially [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Simonne[/name_f].
i think the names [name_m]Monty[/name_m]/[name_m]Monte[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] would also go well with [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] as a middle name.

Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

With [name_f]Colette[/name_f] and [name_f]Camille[/name_f], I like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] or [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] best for a sister, [name_u]Marion[/name_u] is okay. While I like the names, I wouldn’t use [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_u]Noel[/name_u], or [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] because of the similar endings with [name_f]Colette[/name_f] and [name_f]Camille[/name_f]. For a girl, I really like the combos of [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Simmone[/name_f], [name_f]Lucie[/name_f] [name_f]Simmone[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Simmone[/name_f], and [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] [name_f]Simmone[/name_f] with your sibset. For a boy, what about [name_m]Simon[/name_m] as a first name to honor?

[name_f]Colette[/name_f], [name_f]Camille[/name_f], and
