I won’t know for another few weeks whether I’m having a boy or a girl, but I like to be organised! I’ve pretty much decided on [name_u]Rory[/name_u] (middle name [name_u]Jude[/name_u]) for a boy, but I’m stuck when it comes to girls’ names! [name_f]My[/name_f] 5 year old daughter’s name is [name_f]Myka[/name_f], which I love because it’s uncommon but not too unusual.
I don’t mind [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_u]Frankie[/name_u], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella. The middle name will most likely be [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Any suggestions?
It seems like you’re a fan of short and sweet names. I love your daughter’s name! [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is lovely for a boy - although it would actually work on a girl too.
Of your ideas, I think [name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_f]Evie[/name_f] are so sweet together!
Anyway, here are some suggestions!
Ada [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Betty[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (This is my angel baby’s name, [name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], so a very special one to me! [name_m]Even[/name_m] with the Disney association, it’s perfect!)
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Dasia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Halle[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Lacey[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (This one feels like a nice combination of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f]!)
[name_f]Nala[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Portia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
If any of those are close, but not exactly what you’re looking for, let me know, I might be able to find some others you like!
Myka and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] do sound nice together. [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is getting quite popular but I do really like it.
I think [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for a girl could be cute, but everyone would probably assume I got it from [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] Girls. It’ seems more like a nickname for a girl than a full name.
I quite like [name_f]Callie[/name_f]. [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] is sweet too but it makes me think of the cartoon mouse. Thanks for your suggestions!
Rory [name_f]Rose[/name_f] does sound nice! But I still think of it more as a nickname for a girl, like short for [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] or [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] like in [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] Girls.
I love [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! And I love [name_u]Billie[/name_u] and [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] are lovely too. Other ideas for a girl:
I do really love [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
Thanks for the suggestions! [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is quite cute but it makes me think of [name_u]Romy[/name_u] (which I don’t mind either since it’s from one of my favourite movies).
I’m secretly hoping for a boy so I can use [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. I just love it.
I think [name_u]Billie[/name_u] & [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] are my top 2. [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is quite nice too and I also rather like [name_f]Edie[/name_f].
I think either [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Callie[/name_f]. They are really nice and go so well [name_f]Myka[/name_f]. Also, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounds nice.
I love [name_u]Rory[/name_u]! he seems like the perfect brother to [name_f]Myka[/name_f]. However, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] seem like much too popular choices if you want to match popularity. [name_u]Billie[/name_u] is definitely cute! and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] could still work as a girl’s name.
Rory [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is so perfect for a brother for [name_f]Myka[/name_f]! For a potential sister, I think my favorite is [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]. I love it on its own, I love that it’s shares [name_f]Myka[/name_f]’s distinctive-yet-familiar quality, and I’m drawn to the shared “k” sound with [name_f]Myka[/name_f] yet different first initial and ending.
I pretty much like your whole list, but the others don’t strike me as a match in quite the same way; [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] seem a little too popular and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] seems a little frillier. I think [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] works great but I personally prefer to avoid shared initials–I’m not sure whether that bothers you, though! And [name_u]Billie[/name_u] I think works stylistically, I just don’t love it as much as [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] (it’s a really sweet name though).
If you don’t fall in love with one of these, maybe [name_f]Myka[/name_f] and…
I’m with the others on [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounding fab as a sister to [name_f]Myka[/name_f] but it sounds like you’re not head over heels for it?
I know you think of [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as a nickname when it comes to girls but is there a longform you like? Bc [name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is a beautiful sibset no matter the gender but I’m guessing you’re not into [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] & [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] given your mentioning them so what about [name_f]Pandora[/name_f], [name_f]Leora[/name_f], [name_u]Mallory[/name_u] or [name_f]Oriel[/name_f]?
I personally love [name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_f]Leora[/name_f] as a combo but I totally get if it’s not what you’re about. Here’s some non [name_u]Rory[/name_u] options:
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Ezri[/name_u]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_f]Lourdes[/name_f]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Wallis[/name_u]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Zola[/name_u]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_f]Lilou[/name_f]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Devon[/name_u]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_f]Myka[/name_f] & [name_u]Scout[/name_u]
I like [name_f]Evie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] to go with [name_f]Myka[/name_f]. Other short and uncommon girl names that could go well with your older daughter include…
Ada [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Clea[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Ina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Rory [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is adorable and perfect as a brother to [name_f]Myka[/name_f]
Your list is lovely although I would suggest using [name_u]Billie[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] which would give her options should she choose as an adult, if you like that. [name_f]Myka[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] are cute together. [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] also comes to mind as a sister to [name_f]Myka[/name_f] although with a longer version of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] in the middle spot.
I agree that [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] are a little common. Gosh, names are so hard! I think I’m just going to have to wait til I find out what I’m having in a couple of months so I can properly narrow down the list!
Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions! Being a solo parent by choice this time around and not having someone to run names past makes the naming part a little trickier.
I agree that [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_f]Myka[/name_f] flow well together with the matching k sound.
Thanks for your suggestions!
