Sister for Netta?

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are expecting in [name_f]May[/name_f]. We have our boy name picked out but are completely at a loss for girls’ names. Our daughter’s name is [name_f]Netta[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (they are both family names) and I have a thing about our kids’ names needing to “go” but not be matchy or rhymey. I’d prefer a name that doesn’t end in an A, and our last name is three syllables and vowel heavy, so Thumbelina type names are a bit of a mouthful.

I am pretty open as long as the names aren’t oddly spelled and are classic sounding and we’re looking for interesting suggestions for first and middle. So far, the only option my husband and I can agree on is [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Janine[/name_f], but we disagree on nicknames and NONE of our family likes [name_f]Frances[/name_f], haha.

Hoping you all can help!

ETA: My favorite name is actually [name_f]Anna[/name_f], but I can’t figure out if [name_f]Netta[/name_f] & [name_f]Anna[/name_f] are a bad sibset or if they are okay together. Your thoughts?

[name_f]Netta[/name_f] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] are fine together :slight_smile:
Have you considered [name_f]Francine[/name_f]?
I think [name_f]Netta[/name_f] sounds good with;
[name_f]Judy[/name_f]
[name_u]Clare[/name_u]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Cait[/name_f]/[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Diane[/name_f]
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f]

I second [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u]. I dont love [name_f]Netta[/name_f] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] together, because [name_f]Anna[/name_f] + [name_f]Netta[/name_f] kind of = [name_f]Annette[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Netta[/name_f] with something vintage and/or nickname-y:

[name_f]Alma[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Netta[/name_f] & [name_f]Anna[/name_f] are ok together. Not the best (think [name_f]Annette[/name_f]) but not the worst (think [name_f]Netta[/name_f] & [name_f]Etta[/name_f] ;))

A few ideas:

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
Esmé
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Coral[/name_f]
Ruth

You guys have great taste :slight_smile: I see a lot of my favorites on here, which is reassuring. [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Josie[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u] - Those are all names we’ve discussed in the last week!

I love [name_u]June[/name_u], but is it weird to name a [name_f]May[/name_f] baby [name_u]June[/name_u]?

Also, emzsky, we also are feeling a nicknamey name. We’ve even entertained Lulus and Jujus and the like.
