Hello all!
My wife and I are expecting our third child in [name_f]May[/name_f], a little girl! We are really struggling with names though. We have a son [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Joel[/name_m] and a daughter [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u]. We don’t want a name starting with A or L.
All the names I seem to like end in an ‘A’ sound like [name_f]Lila[/name_f], and I’m worried it will sound to similar.
Some names we like: [name_u]Emory[/name_u], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Calla[/name_f].
Please suggest some names below that you think will go well with [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f], last name is Player. Thanks!
Your children’s names are lovely btw!
Of the names you like, I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_u]Emory[/name_u] work well!
[name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]

[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
I love your children’s names especially middle name [name_u]Day[/name_u]!
Of your choices, I agree with pp that [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_u]Emory[/name_u] would work best.
Some more ideas:
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Della[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
I would say [name_f]Ella[/name_f] works best imo. I also think [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] or [name_f]Holly[/name_f] would fit nicely!
Hello! I think names ending in “a” are perfectly fine and not too matchy, but where I run into trouble are the names that have prominent “l” sounds and end in “a.” Therefore, lovely as they are, I wouldn’t use [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], or [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Emory[/name_u] is a little bit too unisex for [name_f]Lila[/name_f]'s sister, and I’d probably think [name_u]Emory[/name_u] was another little boy! That leaves my favorite on your list: [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. I really hope you use her! A tailored, sweet modern classic, and perfect with your sibset.
