I thought we were only going to have one baby, so I combined my two favorite girl names for our daughter: [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]. (Loo-see-ah)
A happy surprise, we are expecting again- and while I have a boy’s name, now I’m stuck with trying to find something I love as much as [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] if we have a girl.
I do like the name [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], but see a LOT of negative feedback on it, and I don’t want to give a name other people consider ugly. (I see a lot of comparisons to slow and slug) also, I’m not sure if I love it.
Any recommendations for first names that sound complimentary to [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]?
First off, [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] is lovely.
I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], mainly because I tend toward traditional names, but I wouldn’t think twice about it if I met someone named [name_u]Sloane[/name_u]. It strikes me as more masculine than feminine though.
Here are some suggestions that I like that I think go well with your first daughter’s name (in no particular order). Good luck!
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u] is my all time favorite girls’ name, but I think she feels pretty mismatched with [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]. [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] feels more cool girl & unisex, while [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] feels sleek in a more regal, upscale, sweet way - if that makes sense!
Something like Sylvia/Sylvie or Sophia/Sophie feels more stylistically matched with [name_f]Lucia[/name_f].
Ugh haters. You can’t please everyone. Sloane is an awesome name! (It’s also at a similar popularity ranking to Lucia in the U.S. - added bonus imo)
But if Simone still has your heart, I think you should keep it in the running! There’s no rule that says it’s off limits. And it could be really sweet for sisters to have a shared name between them.
To answer your question though, here are some names that remind me of Simone (all French and repeating some great suggestions from @Greyblue)
Elise
Soleil
Sabine
Celine
Celeste
Colette
Cosette
Nadine
Manon

my daughter’s name is lucia (teagan) and i also have hermione (elise), evangeline (hallie) & sophie (maren)
i absolutely love the name sloane, and i would’ve used it but my son’s name is ferris so i couldn’t have used it, also i was definitely tempted. (funnily enough we were also considering simone, i think it pairs wonderfully!)
other names we were thinking of were:
maribel
violet
sydney
ava
willow
audrey
aisling
eleanor
matilda
I love Sloane, but maybe could use it as middle name if youre not so sure about putting it as a first name…

[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] feels elegant and has a traditional European sound. Personally [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] feels very different to [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] the pairing isn’t so cohesive. [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] could be a fun middle name both siblings having a ‘s’ middle name could be fun.
You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
