Starting to think through names for eventual baby #2 - our first is [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]. We were 100% set on her name before we were ever pregnant and I tend to be a super decisive person but haven’t landed on a sister name. Here are a few we like but open to more suggestions!!
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] (don’t love that they have the same starting sound, but this has always been a favorite of mine)
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (not sure if I am brave enough to use)
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] (too common?)
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] (too unisex with Juliette?)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] (too similar to [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]? [name_f]My[/name_f] husband doesn’t love this one)
Other names I like but are out for various reasons:
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
Would love to hear your favorite from above and some new suggestions!
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is so lovely [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite from your list is [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - [name_f]Margot[/name_f] & [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] just feel like they’re meant to be, they’re so stylish together!
That said, in terms of your other concerns: I really don’t think the same starting sound of [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] & [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is a problem, since the names are different enough in all of their other sounds! [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is not a particularly brave choice to me - it ranks in the top 50 most popular names of 2022 in Australia, [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Zealand[/name_u], [name_u]England[/name_u], [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] and [name_u]Ireland[/name_u], and in the US it was in the top 125! I think [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] works with [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] too, I think they both have a chic, sleek sound that ties them together despite [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] being more frilly. I do agree that [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is a bit too similar to [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], though.
I agree that [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] sound too similar to [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], without being similar enough for them to ‘fit’ together. If [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] was spelled [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] that I could see [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] being quite sweet for sisters, but with the same sounds spelled differently (as with [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and Gemma) they clash a little too much, in my opinion. Of course do go with either of those if your heart is set on it, it doesn’t have to matter than the themes clash! Only my personal preference. However, as you have other options you like, I personally think [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] would be my go to choices.
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] both sound very summery and sweet, while [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] (unlike Violet) sound different enough while still fitting together visually, both being [name_u]French[/name_u] in style. I don’t think [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is common at all - where do you live? In Belgium I met a handful of Margots but I live in south east [name_u]England[/name_u] and have never met a [name_f]Margot[/name_f] here. Unless you live in Belgium or [name_u]France[/name_u] I don’t imagine it’s popularity is anything to worry about.
Based on other names you like, how do you feel about:
I love [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]! That’s such a beautiful name wow.
I like [name_f]Margo[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] from your list. I think those have the same feel to [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] but aren’t too matchy matchy.
Some new ideas…
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_u]Louise[/name_u]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Katrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Brianna[/name_f]
I absolutely love your daughter’s name she’s so charming.
Looking at your list I think Gemma is gorgeous such a lovely name that feels sparkly, nostalgic and fun. I think Juli3tte and Gemma sound just fine together for me the j/g connecting sound isn’t that overwhelming.
Daisy is lovely I’m a huge fan of floral names they are so sweet, spunky and bright. Daisy makes me smile and I think is very pretty with Juli3tte.
Margot is lovely very fashionable sleek choice that feels distinguished with a pan European feel. I think they are very elegant combination.
Personally I think Sutton isn’t stylistically cohesive with your daughter’s name the overall pairing just doesn’t marry up to me.
Violet very pretty sugary sweet choice but I think the ‘t’ sound is too heavy with Juli3tte also if your husband isn’t keen I would scrap from the list. You could consider Viola?
You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
Of your list, I think [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] would pair best with [name_f]Juliette[/name_f].
I might try the following to match [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] Elisabeth’s elegance yet versatility:
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Celine[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgianna[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] (unsure how you feel about alliteration?) [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
With [name_u]Sutton[/name_u]: [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is GORGEOUS. Also: [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] , [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
With [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Suzette[/name_f] , [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Annette[/name_f] , [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]
With [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]: [name_f]Camila[/name_f] [name_f]Noreen[/name_f] , [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_u]Blanche[/name_u] , [name_f]Camila[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u]
Congratulations!
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is absolutely stunning!
I think the only one that perhaps doesn’t go well with [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], is [name_f]Violet[/name_f], just a bit too rhymey.
