Hello we need help with name ideas for our second baby girl! Our two year old daughter is [name_u]Riley[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Trying to find a good name that goes with [name_u]Riley[/name_u].
Current favorites are [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Elora[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_u]Reagan[/name_u], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Reese[/name_f], [name_f]Quinn[/name_f].
We also have the family name [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] but I’m not sure how it would be having a [name_u]Riley[/name_u] and a [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] lol. Any advice ideas would be great!
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
Here are my thoughts on your list:
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]-This is lovely. It’s not super in line w/[name_u]Riley[/name_u], but it doesn’t clash. [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is more unisex & modern whereas [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is more feminine & old fashioned. It’s a great name though, & they’re both short & sweet together.
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]-Pretty much same as above, expect that [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is quite a bit more popular.
[name_f]Elora[/name_f]-Beautiful! A little more exotic than the others, but I like it. It’s unexpected but still simple enough for people to say & spell properly.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]-This is fine. It doesn’t sparkle as much as the others, but its a nice name.
[name_u]Reagan[/name_u]-Meh. This seems in line w/[name_u]Riley[/name_u], but it just sounds like [name_m]Ronald[/name_m] [name_u]Reagan[/name_u].
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]-Very sweet name. Awfully common, of course, but a nice classic that has a kind sing songy feeling and grows up well.
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]-This is cute. A little over done, but not terrible & seems to fit w/[name_u]Riley[/name_u].
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]-This is not my personal favorite. I think that two ‘R’ names may be a little cutesy anyway.
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]-This is not my personal favorite either, but I do think that it’s a perfect fit w/[name_u]Riley[/name_u]. I’m just not a huge fan of unisex names, but [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] isn’t bad at all.
As for [name_f]Shirley[/name_f], I think that it’d be fine as a mn for any of these. It . doesn’t flow perfectly w/some, but it’s not a huge problem if that name is special to you.
A few other ideas:
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

I like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f], with [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] as the mn
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] makes a great sister to [name_u]Riley[/name_u].
My suggestions, trying not to repeat, would be
[name_u]Collins[/name_u]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_u]Connelly[/name_u]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_u]Addison[/name_u]
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_u]Madigan[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] are the best with [name_u]Riley[/name_u] [name_f]IMO[/name_f]
[name_f]Shirley[/name_f] is a good mn for both too
Thank you all for your input! [name_u]Baby[/name_u] doesn’t come until mid [name_f]May[/name_f] so we have some time to think it over.
Also to everyone who suggested [name_f]Tess[/name_f]/[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] that is ironically My best friends daughter’s name (who is about the same age as my daughter [name_u]Riley[/name_u])
It’s a good name lol!
Since [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is gender neutral, I would go with the same, as having a frilly girls name like [name_f]Cora[/name_f], one would think [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is a boy, and [name_u]Riley[/name_u] doesn’t seem to go with the other girl names as [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is recently popular in the last 12 years, while the other are old. Exceptions to this would be: [name_u]Reagan[/name_u], [name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], which sound much better and equal to [name_u]Riley[/name_u].
names you might consider are: [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Everest[/name_u], and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m].
