Sister for Joel

DH and I currently have a little guy named [name]Joel[/name] [name]Francis[/name], and although we aren’t yet preggo with #2, we have been contemplating names. We have a few that we really like, just not sure if they “go” with [name]Joel[/name]. Current girl name crushes: [name]Adelaide[/name] ([name]Addie[/name]), [name]Anneliese[/name] (not sure of the best way to spell this), [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Sariah[/name], Alaynah, [name]Natalie[/name], [name]Joselyn[/name], and [name]Leanna[/name]. We don’t really have a specific naming style…as you can tell from above. Our son’s name was a family name, but we do tend to love the biblical/vintage-y names. (Sidenote: while not absolutely necessary, we would love to honour our moms with our daughters names. [name]Both[/name] moms have [name]Ann[/name] somewhere in there name, but we are not fans of just plain [name]Ann[/name] (or [name]Anne[/name]). So any suggestions of names along those lines would be great!)

So…any of these sound good with [name]Joel[/name]? If so which ones? Any suggestions on middle names or nicknames for them as wwell? And any other name suggestions would be welcomed! Thank you!!!

Other names I forgot to add were [name]Liliana[/name] and [name]Madeline[/name] :slight_smile:

I think anything on your list would be find with [name]Joel[/name] except Alaynah, please not [name]Alayna[/name]. [name]Elena[/name] or even [name]Alayna[/name] would be better, that “h” is just too much. If you are trying to honor an [name]Ann/name though my pick would be [name]Anneliese[/name] (this being my preferred spelling), [name]Hannah[/name], or [name]Leanna[/name] (or even [name]Leanne[/name]).

I would go with [name]Hannah[/name] (very pretty) or [name]Anneliese[/name] (definitely this spelling.) I think [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] make a very nice sibset.

I think [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Ann[/name] would be perfect! I love [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name] from your list.

Of your choices, [name]Anneliese[/name] is my favorite. [name]Hannah[/name] is a close 2nd. Other suggestions:
[name]Joel[/name] & [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Joel[/name] & [name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Joel[/name] & [name]Livia[/name]

I love [name]Leanna[/name] from your list. I also like [name]Anneliese[/name].
