I’m 37 weeks with baby number 2, and we still haven’t chosen names. We’re having trouble finding names that measure up to and sound great with our first daughter’s name, [name]Celestine[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. Reasons I love her name, and things I’d like to have in a sibling name if possible:
- fantastic meaning
- family name (we don’t have a lot of great options there, so it may not be a priority)
- sounds beautiful/melodic
- unusual, but not weird or made up; classic, not trendy
We have a few ideas, but I’d like to hear suggestions, if anyone has some. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions! A couple of these are on our radar already ([name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name]), and I really like some of the others, esp. [name]Lavinia[/name], [name]Mirabel[/name], and [name]Verity[/name]. We don’t know the gender for baby #2, so boy names are welcome, too!
