Sibset Name Challenge

Girl Names
1

We just found out we’re expecting baby girl #3! While we’re thrilled, we’re now faced with the challenge of finding another name we’re in love with. Our first 2 girls are Emorie [name_f]Leanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u]. I don’t want another E or A name. I’m not married to having an “L” MN but it can’t be the first name (too many Ls in the fam). I’d prefer it not end with the same ending sound as my first two girls, but not opposed to going with one if I absolutely love it. It can’t begin or end with W, and prefer it not to end with N or S sound because of our last name. Also prefer it to have more than one syllable. I have a list of names that I like, but for various reasons don’t see me using:

  • [name_u]Baylor[/name_u] (Top runner at the moment… I really like this and there was a teenage girl on my daughter’s swim team who carried this name, but it does very much remind me of the college and the name [name_u]Taylor[/name_u])
  • [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] (Other top runner… I love [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] for a nn. I know it’s a stand-alone name but I prefer making it two syllables and for some reason like it better than [name_f]Brenna[/name_f]. However, it does feel made up (even for my taste) so I’m not sure I can bring myself to use it)
  • [name_f]Lynelle[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] (see me using one of these as a possible MN)
  • [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] (I really like this, but it goes against my E and S rule)
  • [name_f]Callie[/name_f] (I like this more for a nn, but I can’t find a longer version that I like enough… [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like [name_f]Calista[/name_f], [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f])

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and [name_f]Callie[/name_f] are my favorite options for you! I think they both sound great with Emorie and [name_f]Ada[/name_f]. Unfortunately, I do not have any longer suggestions for the nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f]. I have always just loved [name_f]Callie[/name_f] on it own.

Thanks for the suggestions… [name_f]Callia[/name_f] and [name_f]Elisa[/name_f] have been added to the list!

8

I also like [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], but I’m thinking it’s not a very good fit with my girls’ names

9

Or [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]?

10

Firstly, I love your daughters names!

I think Emorie [name_f]Leanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u], and [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is nice!

11

Thanks! That’s such an ironic suggestion because BOTH of those names are on my list ([name_f]Laurel[/name_f] being considered for MN). I had it spelled [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f], and I love [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] for short. It was my very favorite name and I still think it’s beautiful, but I can’t bring myself to pull the trigger on it.

12

[name_f]Callie[/name_f] could be an easy nickname for [name_f]Calla[/name_f].

I’d go with [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].

Emorie [name_f]Leanna[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u], and [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (Emorie, [name_f]Ada[/name_f], and [name_f]Callie[/name_f])
