We had a name picked out after we were ‘told’ we were having a boy… But it’s a GIRL! So, now we’re tossing around plenty of ideas. Need some feedback.
Brother - Age 2 is [name]Loren[/name]
And our last name is Roos and rhymes with everything I like - pronounced like kanga-roos
Would like to stay with L or M, but not tied to them
Welcoming any and all additions to this list. thanks!
I love [name]Libby[/name] from your list. [name]Marlowe[/name] is said like [name]Marlo[/name]? Some suggestions I have are [name]Lacey[/name] or [name]Leah[/name]. I always thought they were pretty L-names. I think [name]Margot[/name]/[name]Margo[/name] would be cute with [name]Loren[/name] too.
With brother [name]Loren[/name]…
[name]Marla[/name]
[name]Marlene[/name]
[name]Maren[/name]
[name]Marina[/name]

From your list I like [name]Elyse[/name] the best.
While I like the name [name]Libby[/name], with your last name it sounds very youthful (it’s hard for me to imagine an adult with this name)-- same issue with Tulah. So, I would recommend a longer name ([name]Elisabeth[/name], [name]Liberty[/name], etc.) with [name]Libby[/name] as a nn. Instead of Tulah, what about [name]Tess[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Tallis[/name], [name]Teresa[/name], [name]Thisbe[/name], [name]Thalia[/name], [name]Thea[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], or [name]Juliana[/name] instaead?
[name]Lyle[/name] and [name]Carlyle[/name] are too masculine for me and I think with a brother named [name]Loren[/name], it would be better to have a more feminine name so the kids’ genders aren’t mixed up. I think this is a similar problem with [name]Marlowe[/name]. What about [name]Lisel[/name], [name]Lyra[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Lila[/name]/[name]Lyla[/name], [name]Liza[/name], [name]Ayla[/name], [name]Margot[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Margit[/name], [name]Malin[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Moira[/name], Marlies, Merit, or [name]Marina[/name] instead?
Some other possibilities:
[name]Loren[/name] and
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Anya[/name]
[name]Astrid[/name]
[name]Avis[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]

I prefer the spelling [name]Elise[/name] to [name]Elyse[/name] but it’s my favorite on your list.
I agree with pp’s and think that [name]Carlyle[/name] and [name]Lyle[/name] are too masculine esp with an older brother named [name]Loren[/name]. I think people would get confused ALOT.
I think you might be well served with a simple but very feminine name choice.
[name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Marla[/name]
[name]Merida[/name]
[name]Moira[/name]
[name]Linda[/name]
[name]Lisa[/name]
[name]Liesel[/name]
[name]Lilian[/name] nn [name]Lily[/name]
Thank you for all the feedback. Would calling her ‘[name]Carly[/name]’ change anyone’s opinion on [name]Carlyle[/name] being masculine?
Not even a little. With a son named [name]Loren[/name], it would be highly awkward to have a daughter with a name thats clearly masculine - people would assume [name]Carlyle[/name] was a boy and [name]Loren[/name] was the girl.
If you like [name]Carly[/name], call her [name]Carly[/name].
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Libby[/name]; so strong, yet feminine. Not sure how I like [name]Libby[/name] and [name]Loren[/name] though.
[name]Lyle[/name]/[name]Carlyle[/name] – I have a problem with these options only because they come off as masculine. You don’t want to tell someone you have a son and daughter and have them assume [name]Lyle[/name] is your boy and [name]Loren[/name] is your daughter.
I like [name]Elyse[/name] spelled [name]Elise[/name]. Throwing the Y in there takes away a lot of its classic royalty feel
On the fence about [name]Marlowe[/name] and Tulah, but leaning towards like!
Also, [name]Carlyle[/name] being nn [name]Carly[/name] wouldn’t change the masculinity of [name]Carlyle[/name], imo
Good luck!
I like [name]Libby[/name] as well, but better as a nickname. And [name]Carlyle[/name] not at all, sorry (unfortunately people would just think [name]Loren[/name] was your girl).
What about [name]Lavender[/name], [name]Lilac[/name], [name]Luna[/name], [name]Maya[/name], [name]Marie[/name], [name]Marin[/name], [name]Mirabelle[/name]?

Some M and L names that I like.
[name]Lilah[/name]
[name]Leah[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Mirabel[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Madison[/name] (Which is my name! Lol.)
I think with your last name, a 3 or 4 syllable name would sound good, espcially with an emphasis on the 2nd syllable (and I agree with the previous posters that she should have a clearly feminine name to distinguish her from her brother):
[name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Octavia[/name]
Corinthia
[name]Cerelia[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name]
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Elysia[/name]
I ahve to say, though, I really really enjoy your son’s name, I think it’s great.
