Aww I thought you were all set on [name]Giselle[/name]! It’s so hard isn’t it. I keep looking and there’s so many names I love but few of those that my husband will considerso mostly I am just thinking I’m lucky he ended up liking [name]Thea[/name] lol we’ll see how it goes anyway!

I still like [name]Giselle[/name], but also like [name]Katya[/name]/[name]Katja[/name]

[name]Laina[/name] is quite pretty too, and [name]Eleni[/name] is different, though think I would pronounce differently - do you like [name]Elena[/name] at all?

Still like [name]Giselle[/name] a lot, [name]Lydia[/name] would be my second pick:)

I really love [name]Eleni[/name], I have a friend with this name, pronounced the way you prefer. I like the way it introduces the soft “e” into the sibset, which follows suit with the soft “a” of Sassy and the soft “i” of [name]Milly[/name]; I also really like the way that the double consonant “nn” is different than “ss” or “ll”, again introducing a different element yet following suit. Second choice for me would be the [name]Lydia[/name]/Liddy option, also very elegant…(I’m in the [name]Katya[/name]/[name]Kitty[/name] camp from the original names, but I think you’re onto something with the new ones).

[name]Giselle[/name] is probably still my fav but just tossing around a few new ideas. I’ve always liked [name]Lenny[/name] but don’t like [name]Elena[/name] that much as pronunciation is an issue. Interesting that you would say [name]Eleni[/name] differently.

Can’t believe that I just can’t stop looking - must make a decision soon!

My pick would be [name]Giselle[/name].

My vote goes to [name]Lydia[/name]! :slight_smile:

Absolutely adore [name]Eleni[/name]! [name]Eleni[/name] nn [name]Leni[/name] has been on my list for forever. I think [name]Eleni[/name] nn [name]Lenny[/name] fits with [name]Saskia[/name] and [name]Milla[/name] perfectly! I think [name]Eleni[/name] [name]Wren[/name] or [name]Eleni[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] would be adorable.

Good luck!

[name]Eleni[/name]! I pronounce it differently, but either pronunciation is lovely.

You know, with all of your looking for new names, I’m stuck on the original…even though I’m not terribly fond of the name myself, I’m all for [name]Giselle[/name] ‘[name]Gigi[/name]’!!

[name]Saskia[/name], [name]Milla[/name] and [name]Giselle[/name] :heart:

Oh dear, now I thinking about [name]Tessa[/name] nn [name]Tessy[/name], even though a friend has a [name]Tessa[/name] and another friend has a [name]Tess[/name]. it is SOOOOO lovely and meets my criteria perfectly.

[name]Tessa[/name] is lovely too…how about [name]Tressa[/name]? I saw that suggested on another thread and it means ‘third’ which is kind of lovely, nn [name]Tessy[/name] or [name]Essy[/name] would be really sweet :slight_smile:

All these fit the shortish name, ‘a’ ending, nn with double letter/y ending:
[name]Saskia[/name], [name]Milla[/name] and [name]Elena[/name] -[name]Lenny[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name], [name]Milla[/name] and [name]Alessa[/name] -Lessy
[name]Saskia[/name], [name]Milla[/name] and [name]Alyssa[/name] -Lissy
[name]Saskia[/name], [name]Milla[/name] and [name]Thalia[/name] -[name]Tally[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name], [name]Milla[/name] and [name]Portia[/name] -[name]Polly[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name], [name]Milla[/name] and [name]Calista[/name] -[name]Cally[/name] (this one is particularly cute!)

emiliaj

I read the [name]Tressa[/name] suggestion too, but prefer [name]Tessa[/name]. emiliaj - I like some of your suggestions but not sure if I [name]LOVE[/name] them. [name]Don[/name]'t like the nn [name]Al[/name] so I always shy away from names like [name]Alyssa[/name] and [name]Alessa[/name] as I’m scared those names might end up being shortened in that way. My girls have cousins who have a cousin on the other side called [name]Elena[/name] so that is out. I think I like [name]Thalia[/name] but not sure how it’s supposed to be pronounced exactly - is it like, Tar lia? I have always like [name]Tully[/name] as nn more than [name]Tally[/name] though. Would [name]Thalia[/name] nn [name]Tully[/name] be too much of a stetch?

I pronounce [name]Thalia[/name] as tah-lee-ah/tar-lia, [name]Tully[/name] would work ok a nn too…[name]Tilly[/name] might aswell?

I’m thankful that with our dd1 [name]Alyssa[/name] that the nn [name]Lyssa[/name] was much more natural to say than [name]Ally[/name] (and I did try that out once or twice when she was tiny) it didn’t suit her name really, has always been better, quicker and has a more natural flow to call her [name]Lyssa[/name] or [name]Lys[/name] - sometimes Lissy. I don’t think anyone else has ever tried to call her [name]Ally[/name]…which is strange now that I think about it - but good haha!

[name]Tahlia[/name], [name]Talia[/name] and [name]Thalia[/name] are all recognised spellings.
Tar- lee-ah [name]Tully[/name] is definately a nn option.
The a-“ah” sounds in Thalia go well with the Saskia and Milla

Personally, I love the [name]Tahlia[/name] spelling, but I know the nameberry favourite is [name]Thalia[/name].

[name]Tessa[/name] is cute too.
