[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! [name_m]Not[/name_m] pregnant yet, but planning ahead for our second. We have a son named [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_m]Ocean[/name_m] (he also a second classic MN I haven’t shared for privacy reasons) who is almost 3. Since we’ve had him we moved to [name_f]France[/name_f] and plan on staying here permanently. It’s changed what kind of names I want to consider for our second baby as I want them to be able to fit in here in [name_f]France[/name_f]. [name_f]So[/name_f] far this is my list for girl names:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] / [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lucie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Joséphine[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you guys like any of these in particular with [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]? If anyone has any cool MN ideas to make the full name a bit more exciting to match Emrys’, I’d love to hear them!
I’ve always loved [name_f]Allaire[/name_f] as a girl’s name and it works well in both languages nn [name_f]Ally[/name_f], [name_m]Ari[/name_m] (full disclosure: no clue if it would be a weird name in actual [name_f]France[/name_f] though…)
[name_f][/name_f]
I also love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] with big bro’s name!
[name_f][/name_f]
Some combos to get you started:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosella[/name_f] [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f], [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Allaire[/name_f] Marisol/ [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] [name_f]Allaire[/name_f] (hidden link to [name_m]Ocean[/name_m] in Marisol), [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_m]Blue[/name_m], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Meredith[/name_f]
I’d agree [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is a lovely match! I also like [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]. More ideas in case you’d like them: [name_f]Alba[/name_f], [name_f]Ines[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Amélie[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Romée[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
With [name_m]Ocean[/name_m], my first thought for a middle was [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- A nod to your new home with a nice meaning that compliments [name_m]Ocean[/name_m] (sky & ocean). Also not completely unfamiliar to people who don’t know [name_f]French[/name_f]. [name_m]Other[/name_m] names along those lines: [name_m]Ciel[/name_m], [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], [name_f]Fleur[/name_f].
[name_m]Oh[/name_m] [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] goes so nicely with [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] (and I say that as someone who doesn’t normally choose L-heavy names!). I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f], too.
Your son’s name is stunning! From your list, I’m loving [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] with [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] – she has the same ethereal vibe & such a pretty sound.

With Emrys, I like Lilia, Margaux, Rose, and Rosalie (I prefer Rose but I like how Rosalie gives a non-S ending to mix it up after Rose).
Middles (some sound better with certain first names so need to mix and match)
Vesper (one of my fave word names!)
Velvet
Soleil
Sonnet
Fable
Ever
Poem
Posy
Plum
Poet
Peaches
Solstice
Heather
Skye /Sky
Navy
Maple
Avalon
Amber / Ambre
Jade if want to give a nod to French fave names
Fleur
Ciel (very pretty sound)
Absolutely love Emry5 0ce@n I know I’ve told you this before such a gorgeous name.
[name_f][/name_f]
I think our styles really align because you have so many names I love on this list! [name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favourites are [name_f]Rose[/name_f] + [name_f]Lilia[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
Rose/Rosalie are very feminine, romantic and elegant. I think both are lovely but with Emry5 I find [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] more appealing she just has a whimsical flair that which feels cohesive with Emry5.
As for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] of course I love her! I used [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] for my own daughter and as she’s grown I get more and more compliments surrounding her name. I think [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is such a pretty universal choice with sweet pastel floral imagery attached. I think Emry5 + [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] sound lovely together very cohesive I also love that both are 5 letters and look visually pretty together. I really love this pairing beautiful.
From your list, my favourites with [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] are [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. But all your options work great!
