Sister for Rosemary + Juniper

Name Advice
1

We currently have two girls: [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] ([name_f]Junie[/name_f]) and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosie[/name_f]).

I’m so stuck on girls names for a potential third child. I thought for sure we were set on either [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] with nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]. I really cannot get over the strong associations with southern United States as I have no emotional connection to the south.

We have also considered [name_f]Althea[/name_f] nn [name_u]Allie[/name_u], as we loved the flower connections (with [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]), but it just doesn’t feel like the “one”.

I absolutely love the name [name_f]Fern[/name_f] and I would love that as a potential middle name.

Juniper, [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], and [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] would be fantastic together! If it helps, the only [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] I know if from [name_u]California[/name_u]. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is the first name that comes to mind and I love it with your other girls!

Tabitha [name_f]Fern[/name_f]

[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]

Although I love [name_f]Althea[/name_f] nn [name_u]Allie[/name_u], I agree it isn’t quite the right name to fit into your sibset.

On the other hand, [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] seems like a natural fit.

Other names that may fit would be:

  • Aspen nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u]
  • Azalea nn [name_u]Zaley[/name_u] or [name_f]Zalie[/name_f]
  • Camellia nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] or [name_f]Cammy[/name_f] or [name_f]Cammie[/name_f]
  • Delphine nn [name_f]Delly[/name_f]
  • Elowen nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
  • Ember nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]
  • Hollis nn [name_u]Holly[/name_u]
  • Laurel nn [name_u]Lauri[/name_u] or [name_u]Laurie[/name_u] or Laury
  • Lilic nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
  • Lilliana nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
  • Marigold nn [name_f]Mary[/name_f] or [name_f]Mari[/name_f]
  • Marjoram nn [name_f]Marji[/name_f] or [name_f]Marjey[/name_f] or [name_f]Marjie[/name_f] or [name_f]Marjy[/name_f]
  • Olive or [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Livy[/name_f]
  • Oriole nn [name_u]Ori[/name_u]
  • Piper nn [name_f]Pippi[/name_f]
  • Saffron or [name_f]Safron[/name_f] nn Saffy or [name_f]Saffi[/name_f]
  • Sylvia nn [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
  • Tigerlily nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
  • Tulip nn Tulie or Tuly
  • Ula nn [name_u]Uli[/name_u]
  • Zinnia nn Zinny

A couple of nickname-proof names:

  • Pansy
  • Sylvie
  • Tansy
  • Uli

A couple of names with less obvious nicknames

  • Madelief nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] could work as [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] is [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] for [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
  • Shoshana nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f] could work as [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] is Hebrew for [name_f]Lily[/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] seems completely perfect w/Juniper & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. I don’t know that it has that strong connections to the south, but if that bothers you there are other nice names out there. [name_f]Althea[/name_f] & [name_f]Fern[/name_f] are both super sweet & vintage. The only downside of [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is the lack of nns. And for [name_f]Althea[/name_f] I personally like [name_f]Thea[/name_f], but [name_u]Allie[/name_u] is pretty cute w/Junie & [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].

A few other fn ideas that you may like-

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]/Addie

[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]

[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]-not sure what nn I like here. I’ve heard [name_f]Zelie[/name_f] said like ‘zay-lee’. I guess it’s kind of cute.

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] is a great name, but I understand not wanting to have such a strong connection to the [name_u]South[/name_u]. [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is a great middle name, it’s always been one of my favorites as well :slight_smile:. When I read your names a few names popped into my head that would go great with them. These are some:
Alyssum (you could still use the nickname [name_u]Allie[/name_u] here. I like this name because of the flower Sweet Alyssum)
[name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f]
[name_u]Lark[/name_u]
[name_f]Sunshine[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Sunnie[/name_u]. I knew a girl with this name and she rocked it)
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Morning[/name_f]
[name_u]Snow[/name_u]
[name_f]Posie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Raine[/name_f]
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_u]Ever[/name_u] (I love this name and it reminds me of an evergreen tree)
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Lake[/name_u]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] (nn could be [name_u]Laurie[/name_u])
[name_u]Sparrow[/name_u] (love this one as well)
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] (nn Zinnie would be super cute)
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

I like both [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] and [name_f]Althea[/name_f] (but not nickname [name_u]Allie[/name_u] seems very ‘90’s) this may have already been suggested but I like [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] and Loralai.

11

I love [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Calliope[/name_f].

Love the suggested:
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]

12

I love the suggestion of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] ! I don’t think I have anything that others haven’t mentioned but I will try.

Maple
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
Asphodel
Trillium
[name_m]Gable[/name_m]
[name_f]Clematis[/name_f]

I absolutely love your daughters’ names! [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] does seem kind of perfect with them–I love that all three girls would have long, lovely, nature-related names with sweet, spunky nicknames. I don’t think of [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] as being overly tied to the [name_u]South[/name_u]; I do see the connection, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to meet a [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] from another region. And especially with her sisters’ names, I think the nature connection would feel much more prominent than any regional connection. That said, I understand if you can’t get past the association; that happens to me sometimes with names! I do like [name_f]Althea[/name_f], but I can see how it might not feel quite right with your older girls’ names. I’d like to second [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] from the previous suggestions–I might love it even a little more than [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]. I think it pairs perfectly with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], and [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] would be such a sweet nickname alongside [name_f]Junie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. I also really like [name_f]Camellia[/name_f], which was previously suggested; [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], or [name_f]Mila[/name_f] could work as a nickname. Good luck!

14

I’m sad that you’re not feeling [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] “[name_f]Maggie[/name_f]”, because I think it would suit your sibset perfectly!! :heart_eyes: I like both [name_f]Althea[/name_f] and [name_f]Fern[/name_f], as well - lovely!

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought for an alternative was [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] (nn Zali?). I also think [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] “[name_u]Penny[/name_u]” would be cute with your other girls.

15

Zinnia nn “Zinnie”
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] nn “[name_f]Cece[/name_f]”
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] nn “[name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Nolie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] nn “[name_f]Vera[/name_f]”

16

Magnolia doesn’t seem especially southern to me. It’s very pretty. Some repeats but I like:

Briar nn [name_f]Bree[/name_f]?

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]

[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] with nn Azie

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] with nn [name_f]Dottie[/name_f]

EDIT: Sorry, in my late night thoughts, I came up with a few others!

Cassidy or Cassandra with nn Cassie
Meadow with nn Maddie
Savannah with nn Annie
Annette with nn Nettie or Annie
Calliope with nn Callie

Hmmm, what if you took a slight twist and used a location or element to tie the nature them together? This could open up a lot of sentimental possibilities!

Brisa NN [name_f]Bri[/name_f] - [name_f]Brisa[/name_f] means “breeze” in Spanish and is a beautiful way to conjure the refreshing wind on a mountaintop or sandy beach. I don’t care for [name_f]Brisa[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f], however.

Waverly - “grove of quaking Aspens” is seriously the most perfect name meaning.

Indra - “possessing drops of rain”, Wouldn’t the NN [name_u]Indy[/name_u] be so cuuuute?! If you have a sentimental association to rain, this could be a cool nature themed connection.
